We don't have children and we won't. Every now and again, I feel a twinge but overall, it doesn't bother me. However, I vowed that if it ever did, I'd adopt. There are tons of kids who really need a loving parent and a good home. Even if adoption doesn't suit, there's fostering, mentoring. I'm sure you've pondered this, but just wanted to remind you that there are always options. :-)
