Mick, you said:

Kent may be right on lots of things but not about not having kids

Mick:

Try to understand where I am coming from here. Reminding you that I was diagnosed HIV+ before my family making decision process was in full swing.

Knowing that it is a no go for this lifetime --- I tell myself the things I tell myself to survive the situation with my psyche intact.

Besides --- do you really think the world would be ready for ol' KDB Jr.?!?!? I have been told at various times in my life that ONE of me is more than enough for this world!

Now here's the bullshit . . .

Even though I am among the last 1% of men with Hemophilia who were infected and lived --- and I remain in full remission with the virus completely UNDETECTABLE in my bloodstream --- I cannot adopt, care for foster children, or anything like that.

This bothers me nowhere near how much it bothers Paula --- who has been upset about the fact that we aren't in charge of that decision for ourselves. Someone else made that decision for us.

So, if I seem a little down on the procreation thing, there may be mitigating factors.
