I know a lot of reasons to raise a child and also I know about reason why there parents who adopt a child but I do not know exactly why there are parents who already have a biological child but is still also adopt a child. What this will not became a dispute between child of adoption and biological child, because we know, every child in a family would need love from their parents

I think if you adopt a child you should also care for him/her. If you love both biological child and the adopted child why should there be any fights and jealousy other than usual sibling rivalry? I think adopting a child is admirable if he/she is loved as much if he/she were biological child. Lately I have read too many stories where married couple adopt children just for monthly paycheck from government and for cheap worksource.

yes, you may be right ... But it is possible, right ... disputes to win affection can occur also between the biological children and adopted children

Absolutely. Children perceive shown affection to their siblings as a threat to themselves. But thats jealousy. I have a sister, older one, and we don't get along at all. We talk when she's feeling mellow but otherwise it's almost like two strangers, who don't particularly like each other. Jealousy or temper, doesn't matter. Sibling either get along or they don't, no matter the blood ties.

yes, there will be a dispute but through properly explaning and showing to both child they will feel and know that they are loved same by there parents.. It would be in the hands of the parents or foster parents on how they will bring up their children without envy and jealousy.

I think it should be the same because in the first place you already adopted so meaning he/she is already part of the family so we should give them the same love.

I have two of my own children. My husband has thrown around the idea of adopting a Chinese girl or boy. I don't think that we should. Maybe if we couldnt have our own children but I think if you already have your own biological children then you shouldnt' adpot. For me I don't think I could love the child the same as I love my own. I know that is not nice to say but it's the truth for me. I think it's almost a slap in the face to people out there who cannot have their own children to have me come along with 2 beautiful healthy kids and adopt another child.

All children deserve to be loved. Biological children have more of an advantage at receiving your love. You have a physical and emotional connection to them. you gave birth to them and that is something that can not be taken away. Adopted children are children you make the choice to love. they are special in their own ways. Still, I think a mother will always feel more love for her biolgical child. it is just in her heart.

I don't thing as a good parents u can differentiate between your kids. I know in many case it happened so that there were parents who neglected the adopted child but they forget the torture the poor baby has to go through. At the time if adoption they should decide if they gonna treat or love their kids the same.

there should be no difference in loving a child, an adopted or a biological child. we should give love to all children because they are gift from God and they are our future.. We should teach them how to love so that they will love you in return and their future child and family. biogical child is born from the womb of the mother while the adopted child is born from the heart of the foster parent..

Dear friend, It is justifiable if both childern gets better love. But as one is from blood relationship I hope some subconsious way of loving may come out. Still if an individual have a good heart and know to love it is better for both of them. If not it may not be not nice. Moreover I hope an adopted child needs more care as I feel that child is not been able to be with his parents. But it come to a problem at time when once a person or couples have adopted child already gets a biological child.

advokatku thats the reason adoption agencies are really tough on people wishing to adopt as they want to know these people will love and nurture and care for the adopted child and love him or her just as much as a biological child.there should be no difference of love and care between a child who is adopted and one who is biologically born to the parents.Good parents will not be partial to either child but loving of both of them, and will not make an issue of one b eing adopted. Yes every child in any family need a lot of love from their parents and nobody should harp upon one child being adopted. in fact some times parents wait till the children are older to tell them they are adopted, and they do this carefully and thoughtfully, others tell them at once and make sure all their children are treated with the same amount of loving care.

The same love should be given to the children, whether the adopted or the biological. Fovoring any side, will give them a psychological imbalance, snd this imbalance will give some bad effects in their growing. When you decide to have a child or adopt a chid, you have the responsibility to look after them, and provide a health environment for them to grow up at your best.

Our youngest brother is adopted. When we were growing, there was the usual sibling rivalry between him and my other brother. Most of the time he is rebellious, and the way he knew about the circumstances of his birth is not good. I don't understand why most of our relatives (my father's siblings) resent his adoption, but, we, his family, really love him. And he knows that. Actually, since he is 10 years younger than my brother, I guess we all spoiled him. I can't see why there should be any difference between an adopted child and a biological child.
