Hey everybody.
I was just reading all this discussions (i see a lot of young people on this site, i feel so old right now )and i thought it might be interestening to hear your opinions about this issue.
So what is your opinion about adoption, what do you think of it?
Have you adopted any children, would you like to?
Let's just start an interestening dicussion!

This was a great idea Katherineadams,
I think adoption is the right thing to do when you can't have childre, or even if you can and want to help someone who needs.
As crazy as this seems i've adopted a 14 year old boy and i don't regret it, even though it's really hard to deal with teens i wouldn't change my situation for anything in this world!
I'm looking forward to adopt somebody else, a girl maybe, but not right now.

I've always wanted to adopt children.

I have three biological kids and don't want any more.

After my baby girl is born (due october 15), my husband and I plan on adopting a little boy soon after.
We have 1 biological son, and we want him to have a brother (since our girls will have eachother).
We plan on adopting an older child, not an infant or toddler.

We'll have 4 kids in total after my daughter is born and after we adopt a boy, so it'll be quite difficult to take care of 4 kids under 6, but we will adopt more when my youngest will be a little older and less dependent on us.

I am only 26, and my husband is only 29 (will be 30 on october 21) so we have plenty of time to add more kids to our family. We'd like to have 6 in total, maybe 7.

First of all congrats on all your children.
And it's always awesome to know that young couples plan to adopt children, it's a bit of a shock when one of my friend's husband told me that he would never adopt a child because "it's not my blood, it's not my family i would never accept that child as i accept my real daughter" i felt really bad after hearing this words.

I don't think your crazy at all we are both in the same situation i've adopted a 15 year old but for some unknown reason he doesnn't listen to me or to my husband we've been on this for almost a year now.
You need to have a lot of patiente to deal with teenagers, it's a complicated period of our lives.

Thanks!

Its shocking to me too that someone would say such a thing. A child is a child regardless of blood relation. If you raise a child, you'll love it like your own.

My own father said that he won't love my adopted kids. I actually got into a fight with him and told him I'm offended that he would say such a thing, but he didn't say anything.

But really, I DON'T believe him! I know he'll love my adopted kids. My father loves my son and daughter to death and he is very excited for my second daughter to be born....He loves kids and he is great with kids (all kids) and I simply don't believe he won't feel a connection to my future adopted children. If he truly loves me, he'll love my adopted kids and won't see them as any different than my bio ones. I know his heart will melt when I bring a new little boy home and he'll finally get to meet him. I know my father too well and I know that right now he is all talk!
