Wouldn't selfish people want to replicate themselves?
Having kids is the single most selfish thing you can do.
It depends. Some people just really want to have kids to be able to give someone else a great life. To give someone the life that you never had. But under capitalism I don't know how possible that is unless you are rich
Yes, but they do it in order to fill up a hole in their lives, to have a "greater purpose", give their lives meaning. Ultimately all we do is to satisfy our desires...and the push towards caring for kids is one of the biologically hardwired desires we evolved having, the reason we do it is not really a lack of ego. Having a family is something people want for themselves, for their own happiness.
I believe it's literally impossible for a person to not be egoistic without going crazy and/or offing oneself. Even christians who preach about self sacrifice and generosity only do it pushed by the promise of a better afterlife and their own self-interest of wanting to avoid hell and/or being closer to their god.
Surely you can do that through adoption/fostering rather than prioritizing your own genes above all else.
