I personally would rather have my own. But I think that if you have the money and dont mind, that adopting a child from another country is the best gift you could give them- a shot at a real life! So if you can afford it- more power to you! This world is already over populated! lol...

Yes I agree, to adopt from another country especially from a third world country, is the best way to help others.

I'd rather to have my own child. A girl and a boy. I'll name the girl Calista. But still have no idea about the boy's name.

I already have my own children. :) I think to adopt a child is ok for couples who cant really bear a child for medical or health reasons. The adoption should I think be done in a proper and legal way. Wherein there should be proper documents for reference when the time comes.

I agree with you, if a couple couldn't bear their own child base on medical or health reason, it should be ok to adopt. Thanks for your reply.

With all the children in this world without parents, I would definately adopt. I see no reason to have a child when many need parents.

This is something I can't understand. If you have no medical problem why not your own child. No doubts there are many children in this world are without parents, but compared with your own child, I don't think, there will be any bonding that tie between you and the child.

I have 3 biological children and my husband and I are planning on adopting 2 boys from Haiti. After those adoptions go through we would like to adopt a girl ... we're not sure from where. We'd have 6 kids total, 3 girls and 3 boys.

I have 1 child who soon will be 43 years old. I am a grandmother and a great-grandmother. I lost 5 babies by my 2nd husband and am very grateful for the one I had. God really blessed me. I was going to adopt a child when I was in my mid 40's but after thinking for 2 weeks and deciding to do it, the mother had adopted him out without telling me. I was very torn up over that. I had talked to attorney and found out what it would cost and everything. I was single but worked in a care home and could afford it.

I'm sorry for your loss. But what makes you decide to adopt a child ? Since you still have one child left. Is it because you feel lonely since your child has grown up ?

Adoption is suck a wonderful thing. I have 2 children of my own and we would love to adopt an older child when time and money permits. Adoption can turn into a long process.
