first i want the baby to be healthy. I want to be sure that she's not sick with aids or something incurable. Also, she must look similar to me and my hubby. I dont care if she's from a family who has criminal records or something like that.. I'm sure that the baby won't inherit her attitude from them... Lastly, I want to be sure that her parents won't come back and get her away from me... Well, how bout u? If you were to adopt a baby, what are u going to consider before the adoption?

For me, the first child that I would look at to adopt would be a child with special needs. Those are the babies that nobody wants. Those are the babies that need love the most. I am actually trying to get everything together to adopt a baby with downs syndrome. So, my main criteria would be that I would want a child that I know would not be returned to the birth parents. Good luck finding a child that looks similar to you and your hubby....I doubt you will find that.

The factors that I would consider depend on whether I adopt a child from my home country or from overseas. I would like to adopt a girl because I already have two sons. She should be healthy. It would be great if she was between 3 and 7 years old. If she was from my home country I would especially like her to have ginger hair, bit his doesn't really matter. If she came from overseas I would want to know that her parents fully agree to adoption. I would adopt a baby girl from China or from anywhere else in the world.

At first, I would like to adopt a girl because I already have a son. And the age is between 2-3 years old. And she is healthy, too. Because it's hard for me to afford one more child who has a disease. It's better that her blood type is either B or O so that it will match ours. I love China

I will condsider adopting a baby if the parents can no longer support the child and if I can assure the parents that I can gave thier child agood life. I don't mind about the health nor attitudes of the parents too. What matters to me is that I can able to help the parents raise a kid.
