The sign-up is only going to ask what each participant likes or doesn't like. If your recipient specifically asked for that fic about sprogs (that's their kids, by the way), and you wanted to write that prompt, then that's what you'd write.
If one doesn't wish to create that Thing in your example, an easy way is to tick off "adultery" and "kids". The big thing is that it's a challenge, and it would be nice to err on the side of trying new things. :)
Now, if you want to potentially receive that fic, it might be best to break that down into "sprogs (conceived with other people)" and "first time fic"; step 2 prompts require words, phrases, or plot points.
That touches on a bit that you might not be asking about. Think of it like a gift -- plot points are just directions that leave the creativity to the creator. If you outline the *whole* plot of a story, it's like waiting for the other person to go to the mall then calling them to explain what store to go into for your gift. It's not truly in the spirit of a gift exchange.
I hope that's helpful!
