Unfortunately, I sometimes wish I were straight due to the fact that I cannot ever have my own biological children.

I believe surrogacy is unethical, so I don’t think I’d be comfortable using that method to conceive a child of my own.

I may be fine with adoption or fostering, though. The child would still not be my biological child, but it’s the method I believe to be the most ethical.

I doubt I will ever have kids, however, simply due to the fact that I cannot have my own biological child with my SO. Hope that makes sense. I dunno what puts me off the idea so much, it’d just be off putting to raise a child if it were not my biological child. Like I said, it’s the reason I hate being homosexual. I do want my own child someday, but there’s nothing that I believe to be ‘fulfilling’ available to me.

EDIT: Words.

Thanks for responding, I appreciate it. I feel you on not being able to have your own biological child... the idea bothers me, too. I think it's one of the reasons why I sometimes struggle to fully accept myself as lesbian.

I have not read up on surrogacy but have heard a little about it potentially being harmful or exploitative to the mothers who do it. I wouldn't be comfortable using an exploitative method to have a child, either.
