I am 27 going to be turning 28 in a couple months. My boyfriend just turned 29 a few days ago. We have been together 6 months this coming weekend and have started to discuss our futur plans. When my lease is up in 6 months we are buying a house together.  He is very stable as far as a job goes and so a I.  We want to have kids soon too, as my age is getting up there. I was telling the girls at work about me wanting to have children with him. They did not react how I thought they would! They started saying things like "don't you want to be married first?" "Why doesnt he have kids already? There must be something wrong with him if he's never been in a relationship serious enough for kids" and of course there was a comments about his race "doesn't he want to stick with his own people? Usually Asians don't date other races. Are you sure he wants to be with you?"
