Marrying with MD
This topic was not discussed too many times as I’ve noticed. But thinking about this idea in the society where I live is so much harder. Is it possible to have kids while you have a duchenne/becker? And what’s the possibility of transferring the disease to the kids?

Amine, thanks for the post! Would you mind explaining a little more about where you live and the pressures of society and what you feel?

Amine, I also found this article about reproductive options for people with MD, specifically referencing Duchennes. https://www.parentprojectmd.org/care/for-carriers/reproductive-options/
Also on a personal note, I was adopted and since turning 30 have began researching fostering a child. It is difficult for a person with a disability to adopt anyway because it is assumed that you can’t provide a safe environment or raise a child as well as someone who is abled bodied, which I do not believe it true.
