Greetings everyone,

~Yesterday I've read a little bit about child adoption, and when I got done learning a few things about it, I began to contemplate about something, which I would like to ask you guys and hear your responses. Here it is: Would you ever be willing to or consider adopting a child? Not now, I mean, but in the future, or maybe in the late future?

Say that you got married, had kids, who later got married and left to lead their own lives with their significant others or by themselves, would adopt a child then? Or maybe you don't plan on getting married, but would you still intend on adopting a child? Like would you ever.. under whatever circumstances, bring home a child who isn't your own? If you would, tell us why. And if you wouldn't, tell us why not.

Please share with us your thoughts. I would sincerely appreciate it!

I thought of this once, and as of now, Even though my future is far away, I've heavilly considered adopting a child. Though I may get married, I may not, adopting a child is like giving them hope and kindness and love that they've never felt before. It would give them a chance to see the good aspects of life and a different view. So my answer is yes, whether I'm married or not, I'll most likely consider doing so.

If I wanted childern, that would be the way that I would go. I had to help take care of my sisters child when she went over seas for a year. Needless to say, when she came back he wanted me instead of her. So there is nothing wrong with adopting a child. They will love you reguardless if they are yours or not. Isn't that all that matters? All they want is someone who will love and care for them. Plus, you could get one at any age. Not just a baby, for those of us that don't want to mess with bottles and pampers. But what it really all comes down to is that they want someone to love them and you want someone to love. What could be a better match?

I definitely would consider it. Whether or not I end up really adopting a kid is a different matter, but I'm not against the idea of adoption. There was a point when I used to say I'd adopt kids in the future because pregnancy and labor pain scare me. ^^;;

if by some reason, i have too many miscarages or either Soshi and i are infertile, then yes, we would adopt... Soshi has always wanted to be a dad, and i have always wanted to be the mother of his children~!

but really if we were to adopt, i couldn't summerize the discussion in a post... there's a lot to consider when adopting a child, it's not just to fill a void or to "do some good in the world"... you're taking care of a life, one that you chose, so if you screw it up... then boy are you a horrible person... but that's just my opinion~!

as for from where we'll adopt, it doesn't matter. whatever place comes first on the list, that's where we'll start. ^_^ we just want someone to love and someone who can deal with Soshi~! haha~!

I've thought about it a few times. I think it would be good because I know from experience what rejection feels like and the only thing that can fix rejection is to be accepted.

adopting a child is not bad, I've thought about it back then but as of now, my mind has changed so I will not plan to adopt a child...if I ended up alone then I would prefer to just buy a pet dog, I dunno..I just love dogs...Adopting a child is a lot work than having your own baby...but I'm not saying that I don't agree...

actuly i would consider it if i count have kid nor if i didnt have a parnter because i really want children even if they wernt my own they woulnt be treated as they wernt my child..... since i rased him/her in my eyes they are my child....

and to say if i had adoped and had my own kids it wount make any diffrence if i had my own child along with an adoped child there still mind i mighnt have given brith to him/her like the other but he/she is still mine

so as im saying i would totaly consider Child adoption

I frequently think of adopting. I don't think I want to be a single parent, though; why choose a rough life? I do know that if/when I do get married, my spouse and I will talk in length about adoption (or at least being foster parents). A lot of good can be done through the process. If I were to have my own children, that would not change anything - my adopted children will be just as special and deat to me as my biological ones.

I would adopt a child if I got married and found out I can't have children (I hope that doesn't happen... @.@), because I want to have a child, at least one, I have to leave something good behind

Also, I could consider beign a fosrer parent after I've brought up my own children... if I'm not too tired and have enjoyed being a parent that much (I think I'll have enough by that time though and would rather spend my pension alone with my sweet husband ^^
