If you were to adopt a kid where do you want him to be from?

You are not wrong to ask this question it is definitely more of a culture than a race thing. I would say from anywhere in the world if it is a baby, but when you get a child you are looking at some possibly established mental conditions and traumatic things like you mentioned definitely take a toll, but this can be any and every culture or nationality. You may get a child in the US who has been horribly abused who would be worse off than a child from china. I am not trying to be harsh my heart goes out to all the poor babies who don't have parents who love and adore them like they should be. However you need to know what you are going to be able to handle b/c it will not be good for you or the child if you can't handle their behavior but in all honesty it's really difficult and it doesn't make you less of a person if you can't just not the right one for that child. There are so many children that need homes though so you can be selective so you will fit each other. I recommend watching a Dr. Phil episode called "Adoption: Return to Sender" because it's a good outlook on different aspects of adoption and may provide good resources. I think it's really great though that you are considering their mental and emotional state because some people don't. I know it seems cold to some people to be that selective but sending a child that you can't handle back is unspeakably disturbing.

I never choose a kid while adopting why because it is not for sale. Kid is new to the world and it is don't know anything about the world and it wants support from us thats it. It won't look for anything, so we should also be the same. We should not look for the girl or boy or nationality. It won't shows the humanity if we choose a kid while adopting. However it is if we are adopting means we should adopt a kid who is need of those things.

Is the Chinese kids adoption that you mentioned true? Oh dear. If it is, I think that's not fair. It's still their kid. That's discrimination on gender. Just my opinion. Anyway, to answer your question. If I we're to adopt and choose the nationality. I would pick a Japanese girl. I think they're cute. Well actually it's because I'm fond of Japan. But yeah, I still think all kids are cute. I love kids. But I'll be okay with any nationality. I totally agree with you, adopting has to do with love.

I never gave adopting a child any thought. But I think when you are planning to adopt a child, you should not consider the Country Factor. Different countries have different rules in this matter and you being a non-chinese may not be allowed to adopt one from their country. This will add to your frustrations. Better way is to find some child in your locality or state or country and adopt.

I would adopt someone from my own country...I suggest you to do the same...forget the Chinese, Asian, African.....IF you look around, I am sure you would find children in your own country who need that care and attention...I might sound a little rude. but let's face the fact..why spare the sympathy to some outside your country when your own are suffering...

if i will be adopting a kid, i want it straight from the Philippines. Not because I am a pinoy but certainly because I know the culture of the said nationality. We have a good heart and I can go a long way raising up a child of this kind ;)

I think, if I need to adopt a kid, it will be from my own country.

i know a lot of people are concerned about foreign children and adopt them but sadly the US has a lot of kids waiting to be adopted but the system is insane and takes forever and more expensive.. but i think if i had the time and money i would try for an american baby/child just because a lot of people are skipping them to go for other countries

Can I choose a baby instead? If I am to adopt a baby, he should also be from the Philippines. Our country is struggling; there are less fortunate families here that need support. If we look after our brothers and sisters in our native land, our country will have the chance to survive and prosper in the future.

If i were to adopt a kids i would like to have a Chinese babies(male and female). Why? because i don't want them to look different when we are together. Chinese babies are cute also. I also want the character and attitude of Chinese, being business minded and the ability to budget the money. In Chinese culture the first new born child should be a male for luck and to hand over the family business. And for girls who are not so lucky are paired to males chosen by their parents(very traditional). I think you are referring to a old Chinese family tradition, still happening today despite of globalization.

I want to adopt a british one. :D Since the content is out of topic, hmm. Are those child in the orphanage available for adoption? I do pitty these children but, the parents are responsible for bearing more than one child.

any where from this world i believe that all are human kids don't know nationality

This is really a hard topic for me because I see all those kids overseas and I wish that I could adopt them. I have a child but will not probably be able to have more kids due to my health. If money was not an issue, I would gladly adopt a couple more children- I say a couple more because if that child had siblings I would not want to break them apart. My older sister adopted four children through foster care and my sister-in-law adopted her nephew who is biracial. He will probably notice the difference there when he gets older as all their kids have blond hair and blue eyes. Race would not be an issue to me as all kids need love and I would have love to give. I would go for a child who is past being a toddler as most prospective adoptive parents overlook them.

I will adopt any baby that I can find infront of my door just like movies.

hi katieo well if I were young again and needed to adopt a child I would likely start right from my own area as there are many children waiting to be adopted here so why go anywhere else? It is very costly to go overseas to adopt and so many have to almost bankrup;t themselves to get a foreign child to adopt. I have nothing against children of any nationality,it is just that other countries make it really expensive for Americans to adopt a foreign child. they must travel to the country, fill out tons of forms and wait to get approved. If they are not approved they have spent a ton of money for nothing and return home to take years to get back their money they lost.

I can't imagine myself adopting a kid. I already have a handful with my 3 daughters. Even if they are already grown up, I rather care for my grandchildren when the time comes. Or care for other people's children and return them right after I had my fun with them. Caring for children is so tedious for me that I prefer to work than taking care of kids.
