I too don't want kids for the same reasons as you. I know I won't be able to handle babies and very young kids. The only way I will consider a child is if a guy I fall in love with wants to adopt and is willing to do so with an older child because I think I would be able to handle an older child and it would be nice to get a kid out of foster care who has a much lower chance of someone wanting them. I don't want to add to the population when there's so many kids in need out there already.

I wish more people were honest about not wanting kids. I know a few people who only have kids because they had them on accident and didn't want to get an abortion or had them due to pressure from their mom or dad to give them grandchildren... It's sad because I've seen some of these children not be treated properly because they weren't really wanted or their parents just weren't ready and didn't know how to handle them. One of my best friends in high school was one such person. He turned out ok, but it was a pretty rough life for him and I admire what he ha become despite what he dealt with.
