Of course. Though I'd probably forget to use the correct pronoun they identify as at first, if transgender. My hypothetical kid would hopefully not take that personally.

What's wrong with adoption?

Why would I not accept my child?

To me, this is a silly question.

Yes, of course. They'd still be my kid after all.

I'll admit, I'd have some trouble adjusting to the T part. The other letters in the acronym wouldn't bother me in the slightest. A mild adjustment period perhaps, but it wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

Life doesn't fall into 4 poll questions. I'll cross that bridge if/when I come to it.

I have two children. One is gay. Both have said they have no desire to have children. I am fine with both my one child's sexuality and both of them deciding not to have children. I am not so egotistical that I need my line to go on. There are certainly enough people procreating in the world as it is.

I don't have kids but I'd be ok and supportive for the first three (LGB). I've come across a lot of great people in my lifetime who fall under these categories. I'd be so confused if I ever had to deal with the T though.

Already did. Actually, I may have figured it out before she did.
