Well I baptized my niece a few days ago, and she was really beautiful. But I never in my life wanted to raise a kid, but I held her and I was like, "I want her so badly! She's so cute" in my head.
Okay, is that a normal reaction?
Usually when it comes to children they are a nuisance to me, but I guess I never saw them as my own, and this one I saw as my own since I am now the godfather, but whatever so I guess I feel a special connection. I also bought her a white dress and the whole thing, so I guess this baby means a lot to me now.
If I was a little older like 26, and had a stable career and everything I would so adopt a kid now. Regardless of having a husband. But I really want a daughter.
Adoption is a very hard process to go through and it's so easy to be denied.
And yes it's normal, but you're not the one taking the kid home to raise her, change her diapers, clean up after her messes, get woken up in the middle of the night, etc...
Not that kids are a bad idea, but they're no cakewalk either. You want to be around them when you don't have to do anything for them.
Oh I don't want a kid right now... I just want one for the future. And is that a sign of being transgendered basically.

I don't think that's a sign of being transgender.

Maybe Babies-R-Us has a layaway plan.
We love children. They taste just like chicken.
Have to remember to check the post office when we go home on Thurday. I'm sure there will be cards from the other 7 of our kids we haven't heard from yet.
Yeah, right.

I guess I didn't have my thoughts clear enough....
I want one in the future, and I want a kid. But I can't do it right now, besides the point, I just thought it was a sign of being transgendered with a motherly feeling I guess.

Well I suppose it could be...
But life is funny like that. I never had any strong maternal desires until I was postop - and then OH BOY!
I was lucky. We managed to informally adopt without having to jump through flaming hoops by reaching an arrangement with someone we knew who had a little lad who was getting out of control... These days he is all grown up (24), but sadly when you adopt, you usually get them, as we did, when they are already past the cute baby stage anyway.
kids...the only positive thing ive ever done in this world..

Often, when I see a baby, I want to take him/her home. Babies are magic, and holy. I had 9 younger brothers and sisters growing up, and I have 17 year-old son I raised together with his mother. I bottled and diapered and cleaned and disciplined and loved all of them. I want another. Because of my age, that won't happen, but I dream. And the most precious impossible dream of all - to be pregnant, and deliver a baby. I dream and sigh. And look at the next cute baby.
When i think of children without parents i want to cry.My heart sink's.I love them.Especially now at the holidays.I think this is a wonderful and beautiful feeling that you have.I really hope that you go for it if that is what you decide.I have also had these feelings.I never knew what to do about it.But now i know what it is and what i have to do.
Babies are cute & Whilst I'd like to have a baby of my own, babies are a huge responsibility. My motto is: if you can't take care of child, if you can't give them the love, education they deserve, don't have any.

Before my marriage, children usually had been a nuisance to me, whether they are cute or not. But some of my single male friends are unlike me: they love to play with kids.
Now I have 3 kids including a little daughter. I think the only things I can leave in this world during my life is my kids. This world is full of agony and tragedy, but children is the only thing that can condole and please us.
As a dad, it is always poignant to see some kids who do not have their parents. Yesterday night, a nationwide TV station here broadcast a story of a single mom. She could not walk well from polio, but sold bread in the street to support her two children at age 6 and 8. She passed away from terminal cancer 2 weeks ago. In May, she appeared in the same TV program, saying that she wishes to overcome the cancer just to take care of her little kids:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjmI3VauzzAYesterday's program set highest viewership rate for that night, and many people here called the station to ask how they can support the two kids.

I've always loved kids... volunteered at a YMCA one summer working with 4-5 year olds... I love em. To be honest I'm a little obsessed with pregnancy too... I study creative writing and in maybe 7 out of 10 of the last short stories I wrote for classes, someone was pregnant. I could make a list 2 miles long of things I would gladly give up for the rest of my life if I could bring a child into the world through my body. I'd like to say if there was some crazy experiment to try it, I would sign up in an instant -- except that any experiment would undoubtedly be a risk to the child, which is the last thing I would want. So I guess I'll have to settle for putting something in the bank for when I meet the right girl.
So yes. I want a baby too :).
