We understand its good to have kids with someone you love but is it worth not knowing your status and causing pain to them (children) and also affecting your day-to-day activities not only to you but more importantly to your kids.
From my point of view on issues relating to sickle cell disease, it does not matter how much you love your partner, its better to sacrifice the love you have for each other if you both test positive to sickling status or better still go in for adoption to help save your future children from suffering as there is a proverb which goes "sickling status does not mean no kids."
