If you have adopted the child with your girlfriend then your family tree goes on with him, and you could always adopt another child together so he could have a sister or brother. You could adopt an older child that needs and wants a loving family.
Love is what you pass on, not blood, and the good things you teach your children. Some people seem to think it's the end of the world if half their DNA isn't in a kid, but it happens everyday. Everything that lives dies. That is natural. It's the love you should pass on.

Well can you just not have kids because of medical problems? Because there are definate ways of you being able to have a child. I personally think the gay/lesbian is an extention of the family tree.

I think it may be the end of your tree ...but 1000s of gay people are having children ivf ect ...and lots more marry too young then divorce after having children ...
was married now happily divorced father of 5 all faboulous kids ....now with a gay male partner of 9 years who has a new baby daughter ivf with a lovely lez couple ...it all works out in the end.
theres lots more familys like this than are ever spoken about ...it wont make cnn but its happening all the time thank goodness

I personally never felt the urge to pass on my genes. I have family history of diabetes, depression, alcoholism, and cancer; why would i want to pass that on? Then again, I don't really have any strong urge for kids at all at this point, so maybe that'll come later, but I always figured if I wanted a kid, I'd adopt and not feel like I was missing out on anything.

As many plants can accept grafts of other plants, so can the family tree accept a graft through adoption. Adopt him and proudly call him your son, another limb on your family tree. If, for some unseen, neoconservative legislative reason you cannot adopt him then adopt a child yourself.

There are no rules that blood related children are not part of a family tree. if you adopt, that child is still part of your family and should have a branch as much as any other child

The family tree does not end there...that is not fair. That is like telling your son he is not in your family tree, you care about him and he is your family so he is in the family tree.

May be the end of the Bloodline, but not the family tree.

He is your and your partners son...he continues the family tree.
It saddens me to hear that people don't look at their adopted sons or daughters as continuing the family tree.
He's going to carry your name...so he will continue the family.

just because your child isn't "blood" doesn't mean the end of the family tree! it's still your son! have you adopted him?
