If you adopted a baby and then someone else who couldn't have a baby asked you for it would u give it to them?

I would never adopt. I have no interest in raising other people's children.

crazy4chapstick

no way....a baby is not something you pass around like a doll.

Of course not.
A baby isn't a cup of sugar that your neighbors come over to borrow.

No!

Sure be sympathetic, but don't give this child an even more confusing life!

She can wait on the list, this is your child now.

Would you give your own child away?

Answer this for yourself

I wouldn't adopt anyway. If someone asked me for mine, they would be facing me, my husband and a long line of folks with weapons. Interestingly enough that is exactly what adoptive parents expect natural parents to do.

Okay, this is taking a point quite to the extreme to the point that it doesn't fit. Birth parents don't just "give their children to someone else" because someone who can't have a baby asks them. Whatever coersion may happen in the process, and there certainly often is some, birthparents are usually experiencing a crisis pregnancy and seeking out options . . . not quite the same thing and your logic doesn't quite fit. This kind of question and argumentativeness which is not about solutions to problems is also the kind of thing that alienates people and prevents people from listening to those who are working for adoption reform.

No, if I adopted this baby, obviously I love this child since I chose him or her. It would be like giving one of my biological children to someone who asked for them.

It's not right for barren people to solicit mothers for their babies.

However, It's a natural mother's right to go to an adoption agency and choose parent's for her child if she would like to put her child up for adoption.

I am in the process of adopting my son. My son's natural mother sought out the adoption agency on her own. She is a very strong and smart women who made this choice on her own. She's not a "mindless idiot" like some natural mothers are perceived to be on YA.

Also, not all adopted parents are barren. I'm not. I'm choosing to adopt instead of having biological children. Some people like me and my husband actually adopt for the betterment of children, not to fill a void in our lives.

No...how old are you? It's a baby, not a pair of earrings. You don't just give it away if someone asks.

You know, I would really have to think about it. After all, it seems here that it is ok for some people to keep their children and others really need to give their children to couples that deserve them.

Isn't that how adoption works?

If I adopted a child and there was a couple that was more deserving, wealthy, could give better trips to Disneyland than me, I would be obligated to give that child a better life than the one I could provide.

Boy, this is a really hard question to answer if you follow the adoption rules that have been established in our society.

Peace Yo

Absolutely not.

There are other reasons that might lead me to consider relinquishing a child, in fact I seriously considered it with my first child, but that is not a reason I would consider at all.

No adoption is a lifetime commitment. I would however help them to adopt another child if I could.

If a person asks a woman for her baby, then that person is wrong. Birth mothers whose offspring are adopted are generally *not* solicited by adoptive parents. Either they voluntarily relinquish their child/ren because they don't want them or can't care for them in the way they think the children deserve or the children are taken from the birthmothers by social services for various reasons, all of which involve a dangerous situation for the child.

I know I will get lots of "thumbs downs" from the adoption trolls for this, but that's fine. What I am saying is the truth. A person doesn't have to be pro-adoption, but if s/he doesn't believe in adoption, s/he shouldn't adopt! Just like being pro-life (don't have an abortion if you're against it) or anything else. It's an *opinion,* nothing more. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, but to foist it on someone else is wrong.

Uh no.... to adopt a baby you have to go through a lot of paperwork and home-studies and such for a reason.... let them go through the process so they can be accepted or not on proper terms.
