Adoption, Good or Bad?

I think that is absolutely sickening that anyone would say get an abortion over the option of adoption. I'm not for abortion to tell you the truth but by the same token I don't think it should be illegal due to the fact that I think many problems would arise from that. Aside from that, adoption agencies are generally very good about running background checks. People can sit on a waiting list for years while they sort through good candidates for adoptive parents. It is in my opinion that if someone doesn't want children then they shouldn't bother signing up to adopt one. I know people that have been adopted and people who have adopted and in all of those experiences I have not heard of abuse. I have heard of abusive situations among foster kids which is significantly different from adopting. Not saying all, but unfortunately there are foster parents out there that are only in it for the money and not for the well being of the child. There are children out there who need a home. I wish that instead of abortion people would opt for giving birth and then adopting their child out to a family that could love and care for them. There are so many couples who would love to have a child and unfortunately have no means to have a child due to medical reasons. Adoption works wonderfully for these people. Not only are they receiving a child but a child is receiving a family, a home and love. Such a great concept. Look into the faces of each one of those eagerly waiting children and have someone say to them, you shouldn't be here, abortion should have been used instead...Who would do such a thing? I think it is absolutely disgraceful for anyone to say such a thing. If a woman went and had an abortion, sure, it's not for me, but I'm not going to judge that woman for her actions. For one, it's not my place to judge another and for two, I have not walked a mile in her shoes. But to those that had their children and put them up for adoption, there is nothing wrong with those parents either. This prevents abusive situations. If a parent does not want their child they should have every right to put that child up for adoption instead of keep a child that they don't want. I think people who make comments such as these need to get themselves a bit more educated on the matter. I'm not saying that abuse among adopted children never happens, but more often than not the situation turns out positive. A child gets a happy home and parents receive the gift of having a child in their lives. I think it's more miracle than harm. For those few situations where they have not turned out so positive I feel bad for the child and frown down upon the adoptive parents. If an adoptive parent is going to abuse a child then they shouldn't have opted for adoption in the first place. That's my opinion.

I have 2 adopted sisters (younger), one being adopted from here in the US and one from Korea. My older biological sister also adopted a son from Korea. In our cases they have all been extremely positive experiences. I think my parents are the reason for these being positive experiences. They were both extremely loving people and treated all of their children the with the same love and devotion. In addition, they cared for over 100 foster children during about a 20 year period. Our home was always full, noisy and happy!

I don't know why people can be so horrible about people doing something good. I sometimes wonder why people who have IVF, etc. don't look at adopting (I know some do). I think adoption is a good thing. There is too much "red tape" around it which can have negative effects because children who should be adopted haven't been because of some silly problem. I don't think I would adopt but that is my personal choice. I have 2 children of my own but I suppose if I couldn't have my own, or if I wanted more, I would possibly adopt because there are so many children without homes and families. How can it be bad if someone will care for them?

I just think it is the most beautiful deed in the world. Children are a blessing in disguise, at the same time i must say that people misuse the idea of adoption for their own personal reasons which is very very sad. Adoption is a beautiful action which should be purely done to bring a lovely child into this world and give him or her all the love they deserve.Children are gods babies.remember that

it has it good and bad things about it. the good things tht it gives a child something a better life then their real mom could have given them. the bad things is tht theres never the real family bond between the parents and child. personaly i think tht kids tht are adopted are better to handle a adopted child cuz they know how it is and feels and the child would have something to relate to the parents thts why i'm going to adopted a child cuz i want them to know tht their not alone and so tht they can see tht being adopted dosent make u less of a person and less loved

I love the idea of adopting. I don't need to have a blood related kid for it to be my own. Plus I really want to help out and give a child a second chance at life. I've heard more positive views on adoptions than the ones you have mentioned. I think it's terrible to say otherwise. I'm am definitely all for it.

I have had a very limited experience with adoption, I had my daughter privately adopted out. I see her all the time and it has worked out for all parties involved. I do believe that for some there is a perception that if the baby isn't a certian type of baby then it will langish in the foster care system until the child turns 18. This isn't always the case. The media plays a big part in hyping up the bad cases of abuse and neglect. Please do not get me wrong...those cases should be reported and dealt with! But if that's what people see all the time, then that's what they know. There is also a perception that families are willing to adopt overseas before they are willing to adopt in the US because of red tape and other delays. I do not know first hand if this is true. But I do know that the perception is there.

I think that I personally would rather trying to have a child of my own(like blood)but then if I couldn't have one for some reason then I would defiently consider adoption...because I would still treat the child like he/she was my own and not just as an outcast or something like that..because he/she would still be my child...

I think anyone that adopts is a very special person and I love hearing about adoption stories, without people in the world to adopt there would be a lot of unhappy unloved children. I really hope that it works out for you and dont bother what anyone else says. If I didnt have 4 children already I would certainly consider it and in fact I have said that if ever I get the room in my house I may well look into it, but I would want to be able to devote time to the child and at the moment my hands are more than full.

I think the adoption is good.Ihave many good experiences of it.I hope all of us can think so.
