I did not have CML yet when my daughter was born, as I developed CML when I was in my late 50's. Before I had my daughter, I could not conceive then I got pregnant with twins and only carried for 6 months. I delivered, but they did not survive. Then when I had our daughter who is now 36, we felt so blessed. I was never able to have another child after that. We just Thank God for the Blessing we have. I personally would want to be able to watch my 3 year old grow up. I would not want to risk losing my remission or possibly complications to arise. You are very young from what I am reading. You could wait for a few years, and also being so young you may see the cure for CML that many of us older people might never experience. I always say that I am so Glad that I am where I am and not where I used to be. I was diagnosed in 1998, and I am in PCRU and I Thank God Everyday that I am here to be able to be with my daughter. The thought of adoption is always a good thought too, as Patrick mentioned. This is just my opinion. I hope these responses help you to decide. Congratulations that you have achieved a remission.
