Would you Adopt??

If my spouse and I could not have children, adoption would be the way to go. Nothing wrong with raising someone elses child, those kids need a loving home too

Speaking as a parent who has adopted two children, I never looked at either of my kids as someone else's. They were mine from the moment I picked them up in my arms, and have remained so for over 35 years.

Your friend is most likely frightened by the risks of heredity. I don't feel we have anymore control over that than we do if we have our children naturally. Things happen, good and bad, to everyone's children. You have to do your best as a parent, but no matter whether your child is adopted or yours by natural birth, raising children today is harder than ever.

I think it's fortunate for your friend that she knows how she feels, though. She will never make the mistake of adopting a child that she can't love..and that would be an awful injustice for the child.

I would say that if all else failed and i really wanted to ahve a child I would probably adopt. HOwever, at the same time it would be difficult. My husband would never want to adopt, not so much about it not being his child but because he would not know where the child came from. He is even more against open adoption. It is not a bad thing. His sister wants to adopt but her husband does not, she and he have not had any luck with the getting pregnant thing although I do not think that they really tried very hard either. another friend is adopting, she already has two biological children but she wants to have another child. They can not even afford it and my husband and I are very against them for doing this. We would never tell them this but although she is trying to be Selfless about it but I feel that they are being selfish about it when they can barely afford the two children they already have it is just very selfish of them.

I myself was adopted which ahs strongly influenced my feelings on the topic. I definitely feel pro adoption in that there are so many children brought into the world without parents capable of looking after them and so i feel an effort should be made to take care of them before bringing more children into the world. However, I know my partner is against adoption-well not against it as such but he is just so excited about the thought of his own flesh and blood runnign around and seeing both of our features in the child. I would happily adopt rather than have my own child but on the flip side i am also very aware of the dangers and problems it can lead to. i am not very close to my adoptive parents and in some ways i feel its because being adopted leads to a barrier and the child can reject their adoptive parents when they find out the truth. it is a decision that needs to be considered very carefully both in terms of the adults adopting and the child being adopted

No, but not becaus it is somebodye lse's child but because I do not haveenough money to adopt one. Adoption is for those who have got a good budget. It is not for those with low budgets.

hi sweetstuff I am allfor adoption if I could afford and could not have children. If I had not been able to have my two kids I would certainly have opted for adoption. A lot of sweet little ones need homes and dont always get them. I think a lot of well to do people who cannot have children should adopt as there are children that need good homes.
