That was my feeling as soon as I became a teen and started thinking about children and the possibility of motherhood and living with the children’s father.

I will adopt when I can afford to

I think if I would have known how mentally ill I was I wouldn’t have become a mother. But I’m glad I have my children and grandchildren.

The reality of my father is what stopped me. I just knew any man I would be able to catch wouldn’t be any different.
I don’t want kids either not with my condition. I have no money and cannot take care of myself at all. That, and I don’t trust society anymore or civilization at all.

I totally understand this. I’m 20 so I’m pretty young to have kids, but admittedly I get selfish sometimes and want to have a mini-me in a sense. But then I remember that I have so many mental (and physical) conditions that I don’t want to have passed onto my children. Plus I can’t imagine going 9 months without being on medicine that keeps me from going off the rails.
children have never really interested me, with my ex I could have compromised and maybe have one child since he really wants to have children, but now that im single again I have no interest in it

I’d like 2 have children.
But I know I could never support them (financially speaking)
If I had the financial resources I would have children.
But women won’t date me because I have schizophrenia. And even if I find a women I hesitate to trust them, the fact is 70% of divorces are initiated by women and they stand to benefit the most in terms of monetary payouts from the courts. As a man I could get seriously screwed over, the risk/reward doesn’t seem to be there.
I’m completely against the idea of biological kids (for myself).
- Because I have so many health problems (mental & physical).
- Because I don’t see the point in continuing my blood line when there are so many kids that need a family.
I’d like to adopt an older kid, someday in the future. But it completely depends on whether or not I ever feel well enough to care for a child and raise a kid properly. Right now, raising a kid would be impossible. But I hope to be able to do so in the future.

I just want to add: I had my fallopian tubes removed, 5 years ago. Not possible to get pregnant now! 
No surprise babies for me. Nope, nope, nope.

Hmm. . .
It’s A Strange Bit Of Truth. That There Was A Point In My Life A Few Years Ago.
That I Was So Busy With My Musical Endeavors That The Thought Of Starting A Family Never Crossed My Mind. Not To Mention, I Was So Wrapped Into A Cocoon Of Isolation. That I Was Buried In A Slowly Evolving Torment Of Self Defeat In The Landscape Of Being Endlessly Lied Too.
I Was Unaware Of My Own Reality. The Blame Of All Of The Pain On My Family.
Excluding My Pets. And Music.
And Of Course With A Little Bit Of Help From My Clinic, (Apartment, Pills And All In The End).
In The End End, I Met A Beautiful Woman. With Hidden Eye’s. A Smile That Could Bring Anyone To Their Knees. A Laugh That Still Makes Me Smile. And Energy That Continues To Bring Good Luck.
After She Came Into My Life, I One Day Thought To Myself, ‘Oh!, Maybe I Could Also Be Apart Of Life’. Needless To Say, It Sometimes Takes The Entire Village Of The Universes Love To Raise A Hopeless Wanderer. And…, Of Course, A Beautiful Woman.
But!, It Takes Time. Patience. Philosophical Studies. Boundaries. Love For The Environment.
And Trust.
It’s Not Always Easy. But!, Nothing Worthwhile Ever Is.
SoO0…,
In The End, One Day, I Will One Day Be A Father. Which Even Saying That, Is Really, Really Weird.

I have one child and I’m glad that’s all. My daughter loves her life. I would be miserable if I were her. But I’m glad I didn’t have anymore because there are too many people who won’t even let you have a chance of living a normal life nowadays. They want you to live a very restrictive life according to their terms and they are liars and crazy.

I’m quite sure you can’t adopt with scz diagnosis
That’s not true. Sz / SzA / any other health problem does not disqualify you from adopting a child.
History of acts of crime, especially a felony crime, that would disqualify you from adopting.
