Personally, I have noticed a trend in American life wherein women
who are married often opt not to have children, and where many single
women opt *to* have children, either borne or adopted.  I do plan to
marry in 3 or 4 years (possibly less, if fate intervenes) and talking it
over at this point, my boyfriend and I find that basically we don't want
to have children right away - perhaps never.  Quite possibly I will
"come to my senses" (!) some time from now; but then, i can always
change my mind, and so can Carl.  I don't expect to suffer for not
bearing children.  There is a distinct possibility that the two of us
will take in foster children or even adopt; if we do that I doubt very
much I will suffer from not having actually borne them.  They would
still be my kids...
