Fertility intro

Text: The next questions are about any children you have or have ever had - including biological, adopted and step-children. Because family life is changing and many more parents nowadays don't live with their children, it's really important to us that Understanding Society builds an accurate picture of what family life in the UK looks like. So, we're asking people about all of their children. So, as well as telling me about any children you currently live with, please make sure you tell me about any children you don't live with - including children you were never or are no longer in touch with, or any who may have died. We realise that we might be asking you to repeat some information that you gave us earlier in the survey. However, it's really important that we record all this information here, so please make sure you tell us about all your children, even if you've mentioned them before.
