I’ve never really understood the intense desire to create a biological kid. For a lot of couples it really does seem like “we want to see what we would look like mixed together” which almost seems narcissistic? But I’ve never raised kids and have barely thought about having a “family” someday so maybe I’m just missing something.
Adoption is actually not easy. Also baby makin’ is easy and fun
Fostering and adopting an older kid is cool and good though
Also, I don’t think the desire is necessarily rational. I dont think people are debating whether they want a version of themselves as much as feeling a mixture of biological and social pressures to reproduce.
The desire to reproduce is entirely natural, it’s industrial society that made it a value proposition
