Are you only able to adopt if you cannot have children naturally? Or does it not matter?

No, you can adopt if you have bio children.

You can adopt regardless. Adoption is a wonderful thing.

no you can also adopt if you have your own kids..

crazymental

you can adopt as long as you dont have any criminal convictions. that is the only barrier in the uk. single, gay, married,straight, fertile, unfertile. it doesnt matter. you can apply and be vetted and if successful will be able to adopt. you fertility has nothing to do with it. presuming your in the uk.

check out the childrens act on gov.uk.

You can adopt whether or not you can have children. You still have to pass their rigorous screening etc...but yeah you can adopt.

I would suggest an older child though if you already have children. So many of them get passed over because they aren't newborns...but they still need a home and parents to love them.

It does not matter. I have both bio and adopted children.

I had 3 biological children and adopted. But I was chosen by my child's birth mother who did want her baby to have siblings. Some birth mothers want their babies to be only children, some want their babies to go to couples who are infertile. These are private agency adoptions. If you go thru the foster care system, it doesn't matter at all.

Anyone can adopt, but they really check you out while the adoption process is going on.

AdoptiveMama

You can adopt if you already have children, are able to and do not have children, or if you are unable to have children. That particular fact does not determine whether or not you can adopt a child into your family!

It doesn't matter. My parents had a son and then a couple years later adopted me. Four years after they adopted me they had another child naturally.

No it doesnt matter. You can already have children,have no children, be single, gay, married, co habiting. I have 2 children and am looking into adoption to complete our family.

Good luck

It doesn't matter whether or not you can have your own children, it's based on whether or not you are "fit" and "stable" enough to be a responsible parent.
They just want to make sure the child is going to be in a good home, the fact that you can/can't have children doesn't matter.

Note that some agencies, especially those run by the Catholic Church, only assist couples who are childless due to infertility. But there are plenty of other agencies who do not care.

It doesnt make a difference.

No but most states in the USA have at least a seven year waiting list to adopt a baby. This is because so many babies are being aborted.
