Having kids in the first world is probably the most selfish act one can do. All other obvious arguments aside (w.r.t. impact on society, the planet, etc. compared to the alternatives), if your motivation was not basically selfish you'd adopt. It's literally the same thing, except you don't get to propagate your genes and might get less of a personal hormone rush.
