My husband and I decided way back when we met, that we would not have kids! I am Very Thankful for that decision which was made before 1995 our wedding date.
Keeping up with my him and our pet cat is enough to keep me busy! Am cursed with a disease called multiple sclerosis. Any female kids from my body would also be cursed with the disease, which is why my husband got a vasectomy to protect my health.
No offspring from us of any age!
Cats are just as amazing members of the family. I also salute you for making that decision for your health and thinking of what might have happened in the future. I know a woman considering having children who has MS and also of a child at my daughter's school who has multiple ailments passed genetically down from mom and dad.
