Would you adopt?

I wanted to have many children, but since i have known that it is really hard to get pregnant and being pregnant and all the labors and the pain you have to go through, and in my age i think i cannot give birth to many child. But if circumstances allow and with the governments will, why not adopt, adopting is an opportunity to help rare a child and to be a parent and to give home to homeless children who needs love and family, i don't mind adopting and welcoming them in my family if given a chance.

The majority of people who want to adopt typically go for newborn adoption. It's not all that strange. Infant adoption really is a good option. But, it can be a bit expensive. Perhaps the biggest advantage of adopting a child while he is still a baby is that you get to be a huge influence in his life. He doesn't have to be spoiled by the scars of his or her past.

I think that adoption is a great option for those who are unable to have children. I know that adoption is not an easy process though. I think that if one is considering adoption that they should first try in the country that they live, for the fact that they know the customs of that country and will be able to give their child a more rounded knowledge of that culture. I think that to many celebrities have used adopting children from other countries as a new accesory. This may not be the case, but that is just how it seems. It's like they got a new hand bag or something. There are so many children in foster care, that need adopted, and that a lot of people don't see that as there first option, but it would be better if they did. I think that a lot people don't really know the process of adopting. That they know that they can go to a specialist to help in having a child, but don't really know where to go when they want to go about adopting a child. I think it would be important for more information to be put out there encouraging people to adopt and how they can go about doing it.

Hi katie: I can not agree more with you. If a person can't be a biological father or a mother he/ she should consider to adopt because there are so many poor children with no parents that deserve better opportunities rather than to stay at an orphanage. It's so unfair but people are selfish and they use these treatments when they could do something good for them and help a children in need. ALVARO

I want to adopt a child as well. I know it is expensive and I am still looking at everything that I need to do in order to adopt. I want to adopt in the United States because is sometimes harder to adopt outside the US. If anyone has any information on what I would need to do to adopt please let me know.

I would be very proud and happy to adopt a child. It is a great way to give the orphans the love and care they would have been deprived of all their life. But i would love to give birth to my own child too. Definitely, my first baby will be my from my womb because every women dreams of giving birth. I might plan to adopt the second baby seeing my financial situationor else i might fund some children in need instead of adopting them.

If I hadn't been able to get pregnant I would have been happy to adopt a sibling group or a Chinese girl. In that second case I would have gone back and adopted a second Chinese girl. I think an only child can feel lonely and two or more children have company. It is a shame that it is so difficult to be approved as an adoptive parent in my home country. Whether the child is from my home country or gained abroad the parents have to be approved. I feel sorry for Chinese girls waiting to be adopted. The deserve a loving home. If a lady tries to get pregnant and can't this is very upsetting for her. These days abortion is available and so there aren't many babies available for adoption in my home country. In the 1960s my mom's friend couldn't get pregnant. She adopted a baby girl and her biological mom had been a teenager. A couple of years later she adopted a baby boy and his biological mom had been an older business woman. If a couple from my home country do adopt a Chinese girl then they should make sure they keep her culture alive. Then when the child is older she will be sure of her cultural identity.

I agree that if you are unable to have your own children to adopt or just accept things the way they are. However, I disagree with getting a child from another country. There are plenty of kids in our country that need a good home and someone to love them. Why travel to the other side of the world to find a child, when there is a child in your back yard? A friend from HS adopted two lovely kids of a different ethnicity from our own country. They are such a happy family though I don't know their story; as it wasn't my place to pry.

It has always been my dream to have a family of my own. This meaning 2-3 children. My husband and I haven't started trying for a family yet but if we were to have problems when we do, I'd consider adoption. I have heard so many positive adoption stories, it just melts your heart!

They can adopt a kid from orphan, but what they want most is a child share their blood. It's more natural for them to accept. And how R U going to tell him or her(from orphan) that he or she is not really yours. And they'll do their best to try to find their biological parents.
