If you could not have any kids.....

If I couldn't have kids I would be extatic. I do plan on opening to foster teenagers, though. In about 15 years, maybe.

I have a medical condition that makes it difficult for me to have kids on my own. This is not to say it's impossible, but it will take longer for me to conceive. My husband doesn't really care because he is more than 10 yrs older than I so he prefer to adopt whenever we are financially able to do so. I agree with him, kids are kids, our own or not, they still are human beings. Right now we are saving for the future, that involves our anniversary celebration, adopt kids and for my small shop.

After having my first child, we decided to adopt a second one. Right when we started to research the adoption process, I found I was pregnant with my second child. Two children were all we wanted so we did not continue to investigate adoption. However, we've sort of adopted the friends of my children. I don't think I would have a problem loving a child that isn't my own. After all, you become a mother to every child that enters your life (sort of).

I would definitely adopt if I couldn't have children, however i am lucky to have been able to have a son. We have been trying for another for 2 years now and haven't been blessed yet...maybe adoption is the next step for us. My hubby wants to keep on trying though :)

If I could not have any children I would adopt a child I cold love him/her as if they where my biological child. I know I have lots of love to give children I donot have the health to raise anymore.

Good topic. I actually like kids, but I don't think I want any. So, even if I couldn't have any. I wouldn't go through the paperwork. I would rather be a foster parent, but eventually they would melt my heart and I would have to take them in. Therefore, I won't even tempt myself. I would stay clear of the idea. I adopted a cat four years ago and I ended up giving it away because I couldn't be bothered anymore.

I'm a little past the having kids stage,lol, but I think if I couldn't have had kids, I would have considered adoption. There are so many kids out there without a real home.

i would most probably adopt from one of my relatives. it is quite risky to be taking in some adopted child whose family lineage i have no knowledge of. i can consider taking in a baby whose blood lineage from both the father side and mother side i have a considerable knowledge of. it is really fine to be adoting a child and help in the formation of his/her good future.

I would yes. I was told that I could not have children and planned to adopt, but I was able to have 2 sons by suprise. I would love to ahve more, but I plan to adopt rather than have my own. I would like to help a woman faced with a pregnancy she cannot care for and help her give her child a good life.

I would definitely adopt! There are so many children out there that don't have families that live in foster homes or bounced around from family to family, living in orphanages and so on. Why not? I know it is hard to deal with some of the laws that adoptive parents have to deal with and the risk that comes with it, but I think it is rewarding in itself and if you have plenty of love to give why not?

When I was growing up and heard all the stories about children who needed a good home I planned to adopt a couple. After my daughter was born with some birth defects I decided that adopting really was my best option. I now have two wonderful boys that I adopted. I have never regreted doing so. I have people ask me if I love them as much as my birth child. And I can honestly say that I do. They are no different then the child I gave birth to. As I tell the boys they are special because I got to pick them to be my sons and I am lucky to have found such wonderful sons.

Yes, I have 5 kids, 4 here and 1 on the way. If I couldn't have kids of my own I would definatly adopt, and I know this because I want to adopt anyways, in the future. So if I wasn't able to have children I would adopt in a heartbeat.

I would love to adopt, regardless of whether or not I'll have a child of my own. I think it's a beautiful thing.. offering a child a better life, love, family, proper health and education.. it's really selfless. I guess it would depend on my future husband's thoughts, but I love to have one child biologically and one adopted child. That would be it though, I'm no Angelina Jolie. ;)

i am 19 years now, i don't married now,so i don't have kids. but next time, if i have married, beside i have son or daughter...,i also want to have adopted child. One, two, or maybe three..., no problem. i want to love them soo much, whoever they are, i want to give my love for them...

yes

Absolutely! I faced cancer last year that took my ability to have bio children but have always wanted to adopt and would have went that route in addition if it was possible. It has always been part of my life I have aunt and uncle who were given up and found. I also have 2 much much younger brothers who were adopted I am 39 and they are 10 and 11. My partner and I are in the very beginning stages of adopting now that I am healthy again. I cant wait to me a mom and just because you dont give birth to a child doesnt make them any less yours
