Dear Roscoe,

Contact The Foundation for Genetic Education and Counseling ---

(FGEC) is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising the understanding of human genetics and genetic medicine among the general public and their health professionals.

They help you with family history and provide counseling to help you decide on children. Call them.

First contact the FGEC.
Then think about what you want. In the post, you don't even say that you want children.

I don't have children for about 6 or 7 reasons that I worked out before my bipolar manifested. I didn't want children before bipolar and certainly did not want them after.

Its your choice.
Whatever you decide, communicate this to your life partner before you are committed to each other.
