Sorry for hijacking the comment. This is not specifically for you. I think all people should try to adopt instead of procreating. Having child by procreation is kind of selfish if you think, the child never asked for it, but we are forcing them to exist and go though all the problems of life. Bringing them to consciousness just to satisfy our needs and goals. Nobody reproduces by thinking anything beneficial for the child. There is also uncertain future now.

By contrast, there are plenty of kids who are alone and would be grateful if someone gives the the love of parents. There are already here, no need to bring more. Why is having shared genes is necessary if you just want to love a child?
