are you willing to adopt a child.....

Me and my wife cant have any kids and have adopted 3 kids through the foster care system. We have had them for 5 years and it has been the best thing for both my wife and I. Now we have had problems with them but for the most part it has been great. Of course they call us Mom and Dad and we dont tell people that we adopted them we tell them that they are ours. If they ask then we will tell them but if they dont we dont. We did the right thing by adopting.

Thankfully I am blessed with 2 beautifull children, but i would stil consider adopting a child in need or maybe even fostering when i am older. I would have considered adoption instead of having my own children as a last resort I think i would have liked to pursue all other avenues first then if it wasnt possible i would be happy knowing i tried and then go for adoption.

Hi dear, this is a pertinent post for me. I am single and had always hoped for adopting a child. But it's not that easy. Firstly we have to have a likeable surrounding, the right kinda environment and money. Without these, it would not be wise to adopt. I should not bring a child into my life when I cannot afford to. I should ensue proper childhood and then I would definitely help myself by adopting a child. Thanks.

That is one of my goals even if we can have children, i want to adopt kids when i get older, mostly older kids that dont get looked at, maybe even troubled kids that need someone to help them. I want to be one of those people that help unwanted kids. I want to show them that there are people that care, and that the world isnt a non caring place. And once i start adopting im going to keep adopting kids until i cant anymore, I just hope that when the time comes that i will have enough money to do it. I dont know if im barren yet but even if i aint i still would adopt.

If I had the room in my house, then I would adopt! I did some fostering a few years ago and I was taking a course to become a full time fosterer, but then I became pregnant and so I did not go through with it. Now I have 4 children, but I have spoken to my hubby before about maybe looking into either fostering or adoption should we feel like it when our children are older. If I could not have had children of my own, then I would have tried to adopt for sure, I would have probably adopted about 4 as well!

Yes i will adopt a child. actually even now that im still single, im considering to adopt one. as i can see to my parents, they are longing for someone to be their company. since i and my siblings are already getting old, my parents are going to adopt my cousin. honestly a house without a child is a very lonely and boring house..

I was very willing once. I have my son and when he was around 3 or 4, I wanted another child. Now I was not ready to go thru pregnancy and its allied responsibilities for a second time. My job meant a lot to our family and I just could not apply for leave again. But I wanted a child so I told my husband about adoption. Well he said a plain & simple NO, no ambiguities in that. I was sad to say the least but his reasoning was there too. For one, we could not give our biological child the same amount of financial support if there was another child and this is the main reason why my job means so much. So biological or adopted, there was no way I could have two children and if we both knew it all along, there was no necessity to bring another child into this household and make things a little more difficult for all of us.

Heck Ive got two boys plus one on the way and my hubbys little girl and id still adopt if I had the money or means.

If this was the only way that we could have children I would out even thinking about it adopt a child. Look at how many children are out there who need good homes. If I couldn't have a child with my partner than I would definitely open my heart and home to a adoptive child and once I made that commitment the child would be truly mine.

I am willing to adopt a child if worst things really happen. I will consider it a very worthy alternative though. If ever I do that, I will really make it sure that I will be a very good and supportive father to the child.

I already have a baby... and can have more... but i still dream of adopting a child or two... i was able to do social work in some of the orphanges here... and seeing those children makes me want to take them home and give then the love and care they deserve... but until we can sort out our financial problems... adopting and having more babies would have to wait...

My husband and I are planning to adopt, whether we can have children or not. We want to have 2 biological (if it is possible, we haven't tried yet) and 2 adopted. We are not old enough to adopt yet (You have to be 25 in most cases) so we have just a couple of years to wait, but as we wait we are able to plan and save the required funds needed to adopt. Adoption is not as expensive as most people seem to think, my aunt and uncle just adopted a little baby boy and overall it cost them $10,000 but they get that $10,000 as a tax write-off over the next 5 years. So for someone who gets taxed $20,000 a year (like he does), it's actually benefited them financially. (Though that should NEVER be a reason for adoption). We decided to adopt because I felt bad for bringing more children in the world when there are so many children out there who need good loving homes, but at the same time I wanted my own biological children. So we decided for every 1 child we had, we would adopt 1 child. I know many adoptive children who grew up in great loving families and how much it's been appreciated. I just look forward to showing someone else that there is sill love in the world.

I think people who adopt are fantastic and deserve a lot more than they receive, is it for me proberly not but who knows if I couldnt have had my kids then I might feel differently.

I just turned 30 today, and I got a card from my parents, telling me that they couldn't believe that it has been 30 years since the day they walked away from the adoption agency with me. It was very touching and for my whole life I have felt very special and loved by them. I know this is sort of a different perspective than you asked for but maybe it can help. I know not all adopted children have such a great experience, but it all depends on the parents. If you have the capacity to love and treat that child like it was born from you, then go for it.

yes i am much willing to adopt a child if we cant bear. but thanks God we have now a son, and the other one is still here in my womb.. Good Day...
