btw dude, adopt. If you aren't having a kid with someone you love, have a kid no one else loves. Artificial Insemenation, or the good ol' "We be from Georgah" method would be one of your kids, no real point. Like the brady bunch, but not so many brats.
All other issues aside, I'm thinking it's going to be pretty hard to adopt when the only breadwinner's job is manager at a video store. Even if he wasn't in risk of losing the job, unless it's an incredibly high paying position, that's going to be a pretty hard road to go down.
Turkey baster with the SO's sister's wife. If she's up for it. For giggles, put *both* your swimmers in there. That way you don't know who's it is (or just claim it's both of yours <insert romantic backstory here>).
I definately second the motion that you get your house in order *first*. Raising a kid aint cheap. Make sure that both of you have secure employment possibilities at all times before even thinking about it.
