Having studied genetics for a while, I could tell you that through recombinant DNA, adoption will not be your only option in the near future! The Science is advancing so fast, that it's possible for you to get a donated non-fertilized egg, remove it's DNA material (nucleus), and place your desired DNA material, in this case the tgirls. You'd then proceed to fertilizing the egg with the male gamete, and you'd need to find a surrogate mother of course! This has all already been possible for many years, but the ethical implications are numerous unfortunately.
It's also relevant to note, that cis women are at a clear advantage here, because even if men ceased to exist, women could live on by cloning themselves in this manner. Men would always need a surrogate mother of some kind!
I in fact I remember seeing such a society in one of the Cpt. Kirk's Star Trek episodes from back in the late 60's, not the best of references but it does prove that the theory is not new! Sci-fi's are great btw, first time I saw anything similar to ipads/mobile phones was on a Sci-fi (but I digress).
