Also, in a video game such as this, my rationale for NOT wanting a child would be because if you have a child, it gives the enemy something to potentially hold over you. Sure the same could be said about the LI in general but it's different when a kid is involved. Secondly, as other have stated, I think as Hawke, you will probably have more pressing matters to attend to, to have time to raise a sodding child lol.
And all that would make a great tale.
And I agree, it would for those that wanted something like that. For me, I'd rather not give my Male Hawke's enemies that kind of leverage.
If you're too afraid of losing something to bother having it, then you don't deserve it in the first place.
That goes for kids as much as it does for power and the throne or honors of Kirkwall. 
That's some strange logic there but it's your opinion I suppose. For me, it has nothing to do with "fear" but everything to do with not giving the enemy the opportunity to exploit an obvioiusly exploitable "vulnerability", and I use the word "vulnerability" loosely. Not meant in a negative way in the least. I see it this way: If I had a child in the game, and the darkspawn or whoever decided to take advantage of that, the only thing I guess I would "fear" in that scenario is having to do what was necessary in order for them to no longer have control over me...
To further explain what I mean, let's use the LotSB DLC as an example. My first time through LotSB when Tela took Mariana as hostage, I didnt have enough paragon/renegade points in order to use either of the other options there. Do you think I put my thermal clips and power cells on the ground as requested? Hell no, I shot Mariana to prove a point to Vasir. Yes, Mariana was a "stranger" but I apply the same principle to anyone involved. If I could wound the child, and merely take them out of the equation, then I would do so and avoid killing them outright. However, if it came to the point where I absolutely had to kill the child in order to prove that they had no hold over me, I'd still do it. That's not to say I wouldnt feel guilty about it afterward, but all the same, I would still do what was necessary in order to take down the opponent in front of me.
Call me a monster if you want but the fact remains I didnt let an emotional tie restrict what I would do in a dire situation. Sacraficing one life (regardless of relationship)in exchange for many others? Yea, pretty easy decision for me.
