On the child thing, I'm sorry that there aren't any good answers. Myself, I had to settle for being a good aunt. It's not the same, but it's something.

Oh my god. There is nothing more delightful than a man in a frilly apron!! And look at those arms -- wowza!!

I completely understand the infertility issues, that's a big one. I am very, very fortunate that I was able to mother three children. I am still very sad that I will never be able to father any.
