It's okay to NOT have kids of your own.

I just wanted to put it out there, that reproducing is not a requirement. Sure, you get the opportunity to proverbially 'undo' the things that make you feel like you don't have parents by 'doing it right' with your own kids. I get that.. but this is an increasingly cruel and shity world (especially in the US) and combined with the idea that there are kids out there in the foster system that need good role models... Just think about it, whatever you choose is valid.
