Yes I think it is much nicer catering to a child who has no parents than having my own. I mean I would love to have my own child as well but I don't particularly want to go through the early stages.
I would love to start with an adopted child at the age of like 3-5.
Moreover, you can plan everything more easily and if I was to be single I would automatically be a single father and therefore would not need to commit to any agreements.
