Have you discussed what would happen for an accidental pregnancy?

there is nothing to discuss. if it happens then we will have a third kid. abortion was never an option.

Yes my partner and I have discussed it and we both have the same feelings about that specific situation

When we were first dating we talked about it, and it was tough. Even though I am pro choice, I would most likely choose to have the baby since I can't really justify not doing so (we're sufficiently educated and able to support a child). He wasn't so happy about that, but we just kind of disagreed about it, and then tried to be super careful with birth control (always at least two methods). Now that we're married, I think I would be okay with having an unplanned pregnancy, though I would still much prefer to plan it. My husband would probably be over the moon, since he's definitely got babies on his mind. It's kind of cute to see him like that, actually

I've talked about it with my friend with benefits, he knows I would abort as soon as I found out. (Thankfully, we use 2 forms of birth control and focus more on non-penetration stuff until I can get sterilized)

I don't want biological children since there's too many out there without a home.

Yes, we talked about it, and it comes up occasionally. We are both uncomfortable with abortion for ourselves personally, and don't want more children (him ever, me now) but between my IUD and his vasectomy I think we won't have to cross that bridge.

Yep, helps that I've been careful to only have sex with people who I could kind of see myself spending the rest of my life with

We are pretty set with our birth control - I have an IUD that will last me another couple of years. But we have discussed what we would do, which is abort. Neither of us wants kids, not now and probably not ever, for numerous reasons.

No real discussion to have here - we've always had the stance that if it happens, we'll deal with it. Now that we have a daughter (who was planned) I couldn't ever imagine doing anything but keeping another baby, planned or not (I really couldn't imagine it before, anyways). I just couldn't decide that the next baby was less valuable or important to me than the child we already have, and abort (not an option for me) or put up for adoption. Whenever the time comes that we KNOW we don't want anymore kids, or financially can't have anymore, or whatever the case is - we'll take permanent measures to ensure there are no surprises.

I've always wanted a ton of kids, so however we're blessed with them, I'll take it!
