This group is for vegans/raw vegans/frutiarians who are childfree and wish to stay that way.
"Childfree" is a positiv way of describing someone without children.
This group is however not intended as a child-bashing group, but as a group of concious and responsible (childfree) individuals.
Besides, there are ENDLESS good things about being childfree, especially when one looks at such factors at the world's overpopulation and the other negative aspects in the world.
Adoption is the right way when one wants to be a parent. BUT this group is for childfree vegans, raw vegans, and fruitarians.
Please maintain proper 811-netiquette.

Thanks! Nice video by the way!
Welcome Mango! :) Thank you for sharing your story as well. These friends of yours should see you as a role model!
Thankyou so much for having a group for this - I feel like no one feels the same way I do about this.
So many of my friends are getting married and talking about "settling down" and having babies or are already pregnant. I'm a very career driven young woman, but it doesn't mean I'm not loving - I've been with my boyfriend for over 3 1/2 years, we just aren't ready for engagements or anything of the sort. Financially it seems like it would hinder us which is pointless - if we know we love each other, why do we have to prove it to everyone else in a traditional way? Someday we will get married, but I'm not even thinking about it now. We like to enjoy the present. Next year we might move all the way to California. I don't think I'll ever be ready to just "settle down." Whenever I say that, my friends just think I'm weird.
I don't want to have any children of my own. When I'm older (like 50), I might adopt a Chinese girl. :)
Hi Sophie Jane! :)
You're very welcome! I'm always happy meeting like-minded childfree vegans. I personally see that childfree is green, as is sterilisation because the world is overpopulated and it upsets me that humans are so egocentric to reproduce and not think of the damage it causes to the environment and people who really want to be parents and are loving, concious, and capable enough should adopt.
I know that I don't want to raise any kids at all and have a list of at least 50 reasons why.
Hi all!
i am very happy to find this amazing group! Thank you so much for arranging it, Athena. <3
i originally wanted kids, well, just *assumed* i wanted kids, and then chasing after my education took kinda longer than expected, and during that time, i slowly juuust..lost..interest.
i think kids are cute, but life is rough, and i feel like i couldn't bring a kid into the world knowing that one day they'll hurt and i can't do anything to stop that.
We all express love differently, and i think it's great that people i know and love want/have kids. The sad thing is that they don't understand that just as they made a choice to have kids, i've made a choice not to.
The difficult part is that i changed my mind while married. The sweet hubby is ridiculously understanding, but i know this was an unexpected development for the both of us. We're taking it a day at a time. Right now, he's the only one i want to spoil rotten. :)
i recently came across this awesome book? It's called "The Baby Matrix" by Laura Carroll. Have any of you read it by any chance? i've only read a sample, and it just makes me feel better when i'm facing those people who don't seem to understand.
You said it sister! :)
Hi everybody! Life is so cool without having children!:)
