 Of course not! You must be a great person to already want kids. I am 12 and thought about some of that kind of stuff. I want one boy! You just have to wait till your at least 25 (25 is a good age). I have some older friends, who have a little girl. They are 21 and 23 and they love her to death. It is very hard for them to pay their bills... I think you should wait till you have some money saved up.

TheNum13er is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThanks for those helpful words. I think I am going to wait until I'm at least twenty so I can have a job and can figure out my college situation because I would like to adopt first. I want to adopt mostly because I'm adopted as well, and plus, childbirth is apparently a painful process!Does that sound good, or is it still too soon at twenty?

 It's not weird and many women want babies throughout their lives at odd times. My mother craved a baby in her 40's. The reality though is that it is real hard work, children are rewarding at times but it's not an easy ride. I have a 3 year old and 2 teenagers and at 39 years old somedays its hard to cope! Live your life fully first as once a child comes along your life is partially on hold for a while. You're so young and have so much to look forward to x

Not so long ago, there was a girl on here asking about having a child at 16, so it's obviously not that uncommon! Although I wouldn't recommend it just yet, because of financial situations, responsible father, home to grown up in etc.

Especially when they find a guy that will go out with them for a year. Its cool to think of names and have a bond, but do not go having kids til u can support them...
