hi everyone :)
I know a lot of the girls, guys and non-binary people on this site have managed to transition and maintain a wonderful relationship with both their partners and their children.
I was just wondering is there anyone out there who started making a family after their transition. Are there any parents of children adopted after on the forums and does anyone know of anyone who has done that?
Also I'm interested if anyone has a stable long term relationship and/ or is married to someone they met after transitioning.
We focus on the sadness and difficulty of building family units so often on this site, I thought it was time we had a more positive viewpoint :)
Also please share what your ideal 'home life' would look like if everything worked out for the best :)
For.me I'd love to be married to my partner, whoever they are, and have a few adopted/ surrogate kids :)
Thx everyone, and sorry for rambling on :)

Can't help with your original question (married, kids, then transitioned in my case), but I find your dream extraordinarily beautiful. I do hope you get there one day - and I see no reason why it's out of the question either. You sound like you'll make an awesome mom!

I had always been very anti kids growing up and never thought twice about having them. I had always considered any long term commitment with my SO to be a very "partners in crime" / "the doctor and his companion" type of situation.
I've found recently however as I have gotten closer to starting hrt and now in my early days, that everything has drastically changed and I want the whole thing....loving partner, kids, dog, house with white picket fence, happily ever after....The works!! I'm finding that the more I become at ease with myself, I'm discovering new things about me that I can offer to someone else...
Being recently singled I'm not bringing a partner or kids thru this journey with me but at least now I know what I want out of life and I'm happy to say at last that diaper changes are in my future hehehe

Hi,
Sadly, as a single person that hasn't transitioned yet, I cannot comment too much on the subject. However, in my ideal home life after transition, I would like to be married to a wonderful wife that stays home and takes care of the domestic needs while I work to make money and support her. I would also have two cats and no children.
