I, too, always thought I would have children. Then I never found the right partner, had a long stretch of depression, started freelancing … When I was ready to try doing it on my own, I found out society *really* doesn't want you to have children if you're single, old (I was 36 at the time), fat and neurodivergent. If you don't have the magic component that lets you do what you want (lots and lots of money), options are actually very limited.

So no kids, but it's not a deliberate *decision* or stance. Just a convergence of circumstances making it too difficult to achieve. In terms of this poll, I'm somewhere between option 2 and 3 (I answered 2 because I might still meet a partner with children, maybe fostering is still possible etc, but I'm mostly anticipating being childless.) @halcionandon
