Which is fine if you get to adopt. It seems lately that's become a real challenge :S

I agree re: adoption (and fostering). It seems you need no requirements to have children of your own but if you're gonna look after anyone elses, you need medicals, financial assessments etc.

I would very much have like to have my own child. My future wife has 2 daughters and I love them dearly, but I still sometimes think about the missed opportunity to have a child of my own. But for my fiancé it would be dangerous for her to have another child and I don't want to be a grandfather aged father.

I never found the right woman, when I was younger. Now I have found the right woman, but it is too late for us to have a child. The wish to have a blood heir is sometimes very strong, but it is something I have to live with.

And that the anaesthetic didn't work, didn't make the experience any better!
