OMG - That quote seriously made my morning. <3 :D
I don't think that at this point I'm necessarily afraid anymore; I think that we've come to the conclusion that we just don't want to have kids. It's just top of mind because, as the wedding comes up around acquaintances (mostly at work; people who don't know me very well), I get the question a lot: "Are you planning on having kids?" and people get awkward when I answer, "No." They just don't seem to get it, especially since I do love kids so much. It's just odd to me to feel this social pressure around it. When I was younger I did want to have kids, a BUNCH of them (heh - seriously - I wanted at least 4), so having to justify to people that I don't want them now... Is just unexpected and weird.
Luckily I have close friends who have fantastic youngins that I can spoil rotten. :cool:

That's so refreshing to hear; seriously!
If anything, in the future I might be a foster parent because I truly believe that there are a lot of children out there that need a safe, loving home, even if it's temporary... But that's a long way off.
