Would you adopt?

My husband and I DEFINATELY plan to adopt. I am currently pregnant with our biological child and after this we plan to adopt 1-2 children, not babies. We will not be having any more biological children. There are too many children in this world who are just waiting for a loving family and home. We want to be able to provide that to a few of those children. I'd love to be able to adopt more but that is just not financially possible for us. Quick question - how did you include that image in your post?

If i could afford to raise another child. I would adopt. I love children and since i cant have any more of my own, I would be happy to have one in my house.There are so many children who need love and support from a family who will not abuse them

yes i truly agree, unfortunately here in Malta it's very difficult to adopt. It's like they dont trust you with the baby and have to pay thousands after a very long time to get a baby. I would adopt, I think the most difficult part would be choosing the child from an orphanage or something. It's like you're taking one and leaving all the others..

Absolutly! There are so many children who don't have homes, and parents to take care of them. I would love to, later in life, adopt a child I think it would be great to help out the community just by giving a child a home

There has been quite a buzz lately in adopting especially by celebrities. Personally, i am open to the idea of adoption. I believe that it's for a good cause. Angelina Jolie has been a very good role model as a surrogate mother. I admire her for that.

ya,it is a good social deed .to my views we we should adopt adopt atleast a child who are due to some or other reason are left orphan because this could lead to betterment of society and to the betterment of the child you adopted. this is to all the people who can do this should make their foots forwards to it

Your idea is noble, I also want to adopt one child, but whole day I am in my institute, so how I will take care of the child and I feel if you can take good care of the child then only you should adopt,not just for the sake of adopting.

i would adopt a child because here are too many without a place to call home...

yes I will definetly adopt if future give that chance .because every child born in this world are equal ,they will good or bad its based on the environment they grow.So I will adopt ,if I have that choice

i dont know if ll adopt a child, first of all i ll like to try if i can have one... i knwo about those poor kids but i cant give them the choice above my own kids, thats why i ll think i ll adopt a child if i cant have one -_-, soryy

I agree! I have two little girls and my Husband and I have often talked about adopting. We just look at our girls as such a blessing and there are so many other blessings out there that have no family to love or or love them. I don't know how the system is structured, but it seems to me that those who can not have children are first and then those who just want to help should be next! God Bless.

I've always wanted to adopt. i almost perfer adopting then having my own one day. i think a lot of kids need a loving home. one day, i think i can provide that for a child in need of a family.

i've always wanted to adopt a child. i've been thinking about it since i lived in a foster home in my early teens. i've always wanted to adopt an older child even one in their teens because they don't get as many chances as babies do. i'm still planning on it. i'm just waiting to get a bigger house and a good job and a little more experience in raising older children. my daughter is just 3 so i think i'll be doing it in about 10 years or so.

i do want to have my own kids once my partner and i are emotionally and financially ready because i want to give my future kids a good life and raise them well. i agree that orphans should be given the same opportunities and privileges as other kids but i would only consider adoption if in case i can't have a child (knock on wood). if we already have kids and we're still blessed enough to afford helping another child, that's another time i would consider adoption.

I would LOVE TO adopt some children ranging in ages and from not only North America but aroudn the world as well..I lvoe being a mom, I love children and the thought that there are so many out there without homes and families of my own just breaks my heart...LOL My husband in the past has compared me to Josephine Baker who had what she called her "Rainbow Tribe"..she had adopted 12 children from various countries..He's right too! I would be SO happy if we could afford to do that!

I've been to an orphanage as well due to an outreach program hosted by our school. I also thought about this before. But I think for now I would not adopt yet. Maybe if I'd give it a thought one day. So far, I hope to have my own kids one day. And i'd try to help there in some other ways other than adopting. Although I'm not closing any doors on this.

Our sons were adopted at three months of age and from the same athnic group that I belong to. I wished I had gotten them at birth, since I missed that part of the bonding. I don't know if I could adopt an older child, partly because some people think it is done not because there are not enough newborns or we have to because , but because you adopt an older child because you are not good enough to adopt an infant. I'd hate the idea of not allowing more children to be born into this world and arbitrarily that a childless couple are unworthy or incapable of raising an infant. Besides it's much easier for those who already to have children to take in an orphan, rather than a childless couple. They've already felt the shame of infertility. The ones who already have kids know how to raise their children while those who are childless are prone to either spoil, be too strict or try to make up for all the bad experiences the older child has gone through.

If we had more money, I would adopt. RIght now 2 is what we ahve and what we can support. We have 2 biological children, but we did look into adopting. I was always told I wouldn't have children, but wanted a child so bad. We looked into adoption and I ended up getting pregnant. Right now, we are not financially stable enough to adopt or we would in a heartbeat! My husband works and he makes a good living, but it's not enough to support a family of FIVE...so we aren't even looking into the adoption route. I agree with you, though...adoption is a wonderful thing.

It's a good idea, but you should be rich, and in Italy there are too many problems with adopt

I would like to have one of my own and then adopt.
