Before you ask, I'm hitting Equinox regularly, I'm doing my part and I'm regularly getting hit on by women on the street when I go for a run shirtless. And I totally understand that she's not going to look 35 forever. But there's a big gap between the women who are still making an effort to look good at 45 and the women who aren't, and I'd prefer not to be on the wrong side of that divide.
I don't think you understand how children work. It's not pregnancy and childbirth that changes women's bodies. It's the drastic change in lifestyle that comes with a newborn child.
Say you adopt. What next? Do you think an adopted child doesn't need food, care, diaper changes, daycare pickups? Do you think they take no time at all? Do you think you can adopt the kid, put it on a shelf and that's where the story ends? Do you think you'll still hit the gym as much? Don't you WANT to spend time with your child? Shouldn't your wife?

She'll probably need a breast lift after breast feeding and regular injections of botox and filler.
I would also suggest helping with the child rearing and house maintenance but I get the impression that that's not your style.
This oh and have the kid before she is 30 so her body can actually recover before metabolism slows down and makes that much much harder.
