Biological Kids vs Adopted Kids

My fiancé and I are on opposite sides of the fence when it comes to kids. I don’t want to have any biological children. Adopting? Yes, I’m totally cool with adopting and would go that route if I ever want kids. There are tons of kids in the world who need a loving home, and I would be happy to raise 1-2 as my own.

He wants at least 1 biological child and says it’s a representation of our love for each other.

if you have biological children: please explain why you had them (if planned) and what you think is so awesome about having biological children that can’t be replicated with adopted children (Aside from appearance).

If you chose to adopt children, please share your experiences.

If you were adopted, please feel free to comment on your experiences growing up.
