The only way I'll ever have children is through adoption but it seems most guys want biological children.

Most of the guys I met would say that they fear that they wouldn't see an adopted child as theirs which honestly breaks my heart a little.

I did some research and apparently most adoptive parents generally chose that option because the man is infertile, not the other way around.

So it would seem like most men are only contemplating adoption if they're infertile themselves but if their partner is they'll prefer to just get a different girlfriend over adopting kids.

Let me know if you think this is not the case, I want to believe you.

If money was not one of the reasons not to have kids. IE if my wife and I were doing fine with the future looking fine and disposable income. If it was just the environment and societal decline but personal economic wise we were doing fine. I think we might have adopted. Granted she would also need to be in better health. Niether one of us would want to bring our own kids into this but if kids already got pulled in then might as well take care of em if you can.
