I want to adopt kids anyway rather than have them. There are plenty of kids in the world who need parents. Why create another being you needs care? Just my thoughts!

why do you prefer to adopt than have one of yourself? most people would like to have their own baby and raise their own blood.

It's my way of being environmentally conscious and parenting at once. I don't really care about the whole blood thing and never did. I like that's overrated.

I have been married almost 16 years and have no children due to both of us having medical problems,Would I consider adoption? Sure I would and have thought about it. But there are so much things to go through and they won't just let anyone adopt a child they have to be making a certain amount of money a year for that and we just don't make enough. I think they should let people adopt that doesn't have a 50,000 or more a year. alot more people would be adopting if they could. And giving these children a much needed home and love.

In almost every state, if not all, if you go to your county or state agency to adopt, you do not have to be making a certain amount of money a year, only enough to cover your expenses. There are so many foster children waiting for homes, you could absolutely make a difference.

i understand that the adopting parents must be financially able to support the child, however, they should require a reasonable amount. is that requirement different in each state/country?

my boyfriend and i talked about it already. we're not sure of what will happen. i might not bear a child. i am not sure. but i hope i can. so, i have this fear inside me for years. what if i am not capable of bringing a new life on earth? so, i brought up the issue to my boyfriend since we talked about marriage already. and he gave me a smile assuring me that he won't love me less if ever i can't bear a child. and yep. we are open for the possibility of adopting a baby. and he even added that he's willing to adopt one baby even if i can also give him a child of our own. i think it's nice to do so. giving a child another way of making his dreams come through - through you. that's such a nice feeling of fulfillment.

Yes I would. If I couldent have my own I most definately take a child into my home. The other thing iz would consider is hiring a surrogate mother.

I'm a adopted daughter and my husband is adopted son too but same fate with mine the one who adopted me is my aunt and with my husband his distant relative.
We already talked about that matter when we are still sweetheart and we are open to that possibility for we know we can raise a child that is not our very own blood because we are raise by someone who are not our own biological parents but we are lucky that we have one cuddly son but if time permits we are really open for the idea of adopting and give home to a homeless little girl.

it shows your adopted parents are good parents :)
it's always nice to know that there are people open to share their home and heart to children in need.

Yes, absolutely. In fact, we did, twice! And we're considering adopting a third!
