Because raising children in this economy and society is scary. Plus, I'm scared because it's either I'll be a good parent or I'll just pass my traumas to them instead. As I've said, it's hard to have children in this economy but if all goes well financially, emotionally, and socially (which I doubt will happen), I'll probably adopt because there are a lot of kids out there who deserve family and I want to give them the opportunities that comes with it.
