Hello! I'm new here, so I guess a little introduction is to be said. I'm a SO of the most beautiful girl in the world, Jackie, who is (thankfully) going to be going through HRT in the next month. We are engaged and plan on getting married in the next year or so. We are so very happy together!
The trouble is, with her starting HRT quite soon, we most likely won't be able to have our own children. I haven't even finished my freshman year of college yet, and with finances being poopy, it's unfeasible to have a child before she starts HRT, or even a year or two after. It's causing us a lot of pain, because we've discussed having children and we have both agreed that we want them very, very, badly. Sperm banking and in vitro fertilization are also unlikely options, since we are both artists and probably won't make enough money to afford that. So, our only option is to adopt in five or ten years. I'm wondering what some other people's experiences have been with adoption and raising children with a trans partner? Is it selfish of me to be sad over the fact that we won't have our own biological children?
