Asexuality and having children

Hi!

Fist of all, if there is a post about what I'm going to ask about, I'm sorry, I tried to look for it but couldn't find it. ^^"

Now to the topic:

I want to have children, like really, really want to have them. The thing is, I don't want to have sex EVER, even to have children, it's just ... gross. I could try to adopt but I can't (because I'm not old enough to, because you have to see psychologists and talk about your sexuality with them etc., and a whole lot of other reasons). I don't have a relationship, and while I wouldn't mind to have someone to cuddle with, I only attract people who want to have sex.

Now the question is:

How do you do to have children???

You could look for a platonic partner/ marry that person and see if that changes your chances of getting a green light. I didnt know you had to jump through that many hoops to adopt someone. :huh:

Theres also surrogate mothers.

Sadly surrogacy is illegal in France and so, even if I were to go to another country the child wouldn't be reconized as mine (and I wouldn't be able to adopt it). :angry:

What about artificial insemination? Go to a fertility clinic with your partner or sperm donor and have the egg and sperm mixed; then the doctor will implant the fertilized egg. That process can be really time consuming and rather expensive though. If nothing else you can go reeaally lowtech and just insert sperm manually (not via sex; more like an applicator)

I don't even know if I can conceive children (my body is weird), and I've known this for a few years - I think I could foster and eventually adopt xx

I am the exact same way as you. I want kids but I don't want to have sex at all. I am only 19 so I don't want kids now, but I have thought about what I am going to do in the future. Surragacy is a legal option in the US, or IVF (like the movie The Backup Plan) or adopting.
