I've recently been meeting a lot of people in their 30s who declare that they don't want children. "Because the world has too many people" "I would adopt" "The world is too cruel, I don't want to bring more people into it" And I just want to scream "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?"

Maybe that's because I'm an asshole who is insensitive to the travails of pregnancy, but that's just my gut reaction. It's incomprehensible to me that wouldn't want the joy of children or prolonging your genetic line into the future.

Outside of Africa and maybe the middle east (I'm not sure people should be living in deserts of Saudi for example - it's just not built for that), the world does not have too many people. If anything, it has too few. I respect the adoption thing, but do both.

Cheap, reliable birth control might be the most dramatic natural selection event in human history.

Combine that with the government paying you to have kids if you're below a certain income level and you have a really odd situation.

Adopting is good though. There are far too many children without families, even just in your own city let alone the country. In my opinion everyone should adopt one child + have children.
