Adoption: Do you think this is a natural thing?

<3 Kim <3

Hiya hunny!

I think that the person that invented the idea of officially ''adopting'' a child should have been given a medal!

People who cannot have children for whatever reason can now have children.

People who do not want children can now not have to go through with a termination and can give the child up for adoption.

Adoption is the most spectacular and wondeful thing ever. Imagine a poor couple there who have a wonderful safe home ready for a child and then they find out they can not have children. It must be devastating. Then when they choose to adopt their lives are completely changed. Also the child that has been adopted has their life changed also. They may have been brought up into a life that they may not have been loved, neglected or even abused. Thanks to adoption, this does not happen.

Adoption is absolutely amazing!

Hope i helped hunny, star for you! :) x x x x

i dont think its right myself, i dont see how someone could do that, wouldn't it just be easier to have an abortion before it is a living thing instead of giving it all the pain of not knowing their parents for the whole of their life. unless of course the parents died or something...thats just my view, i understand others. but i think its really nice for people to adopt other peoples kids and treat them as their own :)

There is NOTHING natural about a stranger raising someone else's baby.

The only adoption that should be legal is when there is no one else in the child's natural family to raise him or her, or in cases of abuse, and there is no one in the child's natural family to raise him of her. Foster care should be the only adoption allowed.

I dont care WHO adopts through foster care, as long as they pass their homestudies and want to parent because it's what is in the child's best interest.

its a good question, years and years ago we never heard of adoption, can you imagine the cave man saying to another cave man family like the flintstones , can you take my baby i cannot care for him her anymore, the big question now a days is why, why are there children up for adoption, why are children being born when we have so much opportunity of contraceptives free. there is so much stress around in today's world and it must be so hard raising children, i hate to think of kids being raised without their natural parents but sometimes it has to be that way. the second part of your question asks who and who not to adopt, since i have never done this i am only guessing at the answer, some couples cannot biologically have their own children but would make wonderful parents, some people are naturally devoted to children, we as a society should invest very carefully the vetting system on adoption, we have to get it right for the children

I am definitely in favour of adoption. In my opinion, it is much more natural than going through a million rounds of IVF treatment before you concieve. I would like to think that if, when the time comes, I have difficulty conceiving, adoption would be the first option that I would turn to.

To some extent yes I do think its a natural thing. It happens with animals and in nature all of the time. I've experienced it with animals on many occasions through my work (running an animal rescue). We have animals take on kittens/puppies/etc that aren't theirs all of the time when the bio mom is either killed or abandons their young. We have a cat right now who has taken on a kitten along with her litter. We've had dogs take on kittens and cats take on puppies. Feral populations do this frequently on their own also since mortality of adults is high.

So to that extent yes I do think its natural for non family to take in young after they are abandoned or left as orphans. This is animals and humans. Not all mom's are created equal and that holds out for all types of animals, humans included.

The legal aspect of it is of course less natural since law is man made. Animals don't create contracts and other legal arrangements when they raise young that aren't theirs they just raise them. So that part is not natural but for humans it is necessary. At the same time though adoption goes back to ancient times and is deeply ingrained in our lives and legal system. It has changed over the years but really the reasoning behind adoption now is much better than it has been during much of its past since it was often used as a form of servitude or solely as a way to carry on family lines and having heirs.

Um, heck no. What is natural about separating the NATURAL bond between mother and child. Um, gee I can't see anything...

There is nothing natural about separating a child from it's mother then forcing it to bond to another woman.

There is nothing natural about breaking apart families and pretending it's right.

I believe the only children who should be adopted are those from families who are addictive, abusive or profoundly neglectful.

You "don't see the point" in having other bio kids? Why not have other women breed children for you, eh?
