i want to have kids, but so far i haven't been able to hold together the right combination of people and economic stability for it to play out. at 32, i'm starting to get there. now i just need to find a couple more partners and we'll be good to go. i understand why people might not want to "doom their child" to an uncertain future, but it seems like the right thing for me to do.
