I'd like to know where this attitude comes from that many of the answers are showing. Why do people expect that adoptive parents should be willing to take ANY child????
I'm sorry it bothers people sensitivities but, yes, some kids are "leftover." If there weren't any leftover kids, we wouldn't have orphanages, wards of the state, and a foster care system.
Frankly, I think adopting a blind child would be a very big challenge. Sure, for the right parents, it would be just as fulfilling as any child...but don't get mad at somebody just because they hesitate over such a thing. And, yes, blind children often are "left over" and end up in the foster care system.
And, by the way, our child was born with special needs. Because of the real risk of us having a another child with special needs, we are going to adopt...and, yeah, we are going to be fairly picky considering the challenge we already have. In this case, we're actually hopeful that a normally developing child would be an asset to the other. |

Um. Yeah. For you? I wuld recommend not adopting at all. Your attitude is terrible and you seem kind of creepy. If you are not kidding. Which you likely are. |

I think you should adopt something just like you ---- a chimp. |

I hope your just joking but no one would adopted a child out to you with that attitude. |

OK, I seriously hope this is a joke, if it's not, you are mentally ill. You don't need to adopt at all if this is your feelings. Stay FAR, FAR away from children you freak!! |

I hope to god you never adopt and please do not reproduce. |

You sound a little immature to be adopting a kid. |

This is a really wierd and creepy question. If the boy is blind then he is not different than other other kid...except he's blind. I really hope that this adoption agency does pre-screening because your a f*ck*n lunitic |

Going by your very uniformed questions, I think you might be better waiting for a child with sight.
(I can't help chastise you for even thinking this delightful child is a leftover... shame on you) |

Please do not adopt if you are serious. |

If you consider this kid as a "left over" then no, do NOT adopt him.
He would deserve someone who finds him to be perfect despite his handicap, not someone who considers him to just be a "left over."
I agree with the first poster, do not adopt. |

how can you refer to a child as "it", you should reconsider adopting because you seem like you're not ready for parenthood. |

You are obviously not open to a child with disabilities.
For your sake and the kid's -- do not adopt him.
Honestly -- if you really wanted this child you shouldn't be thinking this way.
That's a really rude thing to say by the way. About the t.v. that is.
Since you even asked this question I am scared to see you raising any child. Your children will not be open minded. |

You don't become a parents b/c it will be "fun". You become a parents because you want to share your love with that child! And obviosly, you aren't ready to be a parent. A mom's love should be unconditional, meaning you love your child no matter what---whether he's deaf, blind, handicapped or what ever! Plus, if your "shows" mean more than your kid you definitely aren't ready! You're adopting a child, not a hamster! |

you can't be for real!! you are a twisted person... why would you even "joke" about something like this? you need to get some help |

I know you are joking, but this is still not funny! This could be a true scenario. Blind children are equal with other children meaning they CAN run and play, they can hear, stupid! And theyre not frieckin leftovers. What the heck is wrong with you? Don't adopt anyone. You seem to expect perfect and no child can give that to you. Especially if you consider the child an 'it' like you did in your little TV complaint. Don't ever joke like this again, you idiot. |

Leftovers? A better kid? Perhaps you should reconsider your reasons for adoption and decide if this is truly the right decision for you.
Adoption should be from the heart. While everyone wants a "perfect" child, the truth is that NO child is perfect. We adopted a special needs child and he is the best thing that ever came into my life. It takes someone strong to parent a special needs child. If you are going to refer to him as a "left over", he will never receive the type of family life he deserves. |

An "IT" is non adoptable ... try a she/he. With your attitude, no child would be happy with you... needless to say they would not have fun around you. First grow up, get a dog (oh no what am I saying.. poor dog!) get a rock and have that as a pet. If and only if the rock does not die on you and when you mature and have a stable household then get a child of your own. And hope none of your children( if you ever have any) or relatives have a blind child. And what do you mean by taking the leftovers? This is not Thanksgiving dinner! You really are sick or just out to make the rest of us fall to your little joke. |

Do YOU feel like a leftover? Is the "nice" child really YOUR STORY? The only reason I can fathom that anyone would ask this question is because they are feeling like the imaginary person they are inquiring about.
I'm sorry you feel this way. No one is ever a left-over, but perhaps looked-over. All children are gifts from God, even with disabilities. |

Whoa, hold on a minute...you want to adopt, but you don't want to adopt a blind boy because he won't be fun? What kind of person are you? Do you know that there are thousands of kids in foster care right now waiting for a home (disabled children included) and not even for a second would I ever recommend you for any of them.
God willing, you will never have your own children because you are obviously too selfish and conceited to have any. You are a terrible person for thinking it, and worse for asking it.
DON'T ADOPT AND CONSIDER GETTING YOUR TUBES TIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... |

your kidding right??? your 1st problem is calling the child an it. and 2nd watching tv might be out of the ?? your job is to raise "it" to be the best human being they can be. and leftovers are kidding me. maybe you are a leftover and you don't have any business w/ any kids. but seriously your kidding right?? to talk like that anyway. |

Blind kid's have just as much fun as the rest of them. But I don't think he is for you. Especially with words like it , and leftovers. |
|

due oct 4 2009!
|
no child is ever leftovers! if you are serious you shouldn't be adopting at all! with that attitude they wouldn't even consider you anyway. just because a person/child has a disability doesn't mean they cant function like the rest of us............i am at a loss for words...............disgusting! |
|

Princess

you are terrible, no child is a leftover...............every child is a gift. a gift you don't deserve ever...............
What agency would ever consider you.............But please ask them the same question you did us...........At least I know they'd never give you the child................ |
|

scorpio_queen_2003

ok,this question is obviously a hoax
but if not,i suggest you withdraw your adoption application right now because you are not a suitable applicant.for ANY kids well- being. you will be a terrible parent! |

I agree with the rest of the responses, but Ill try to be a little nicer about it:
If you had gotten pregnant and your own baby came out blind, would you put it up for adoption thinking it was going to be "no fun" or would you be woman/man enough to keep it?
The answer to that should tell you if youre ready to adopt a blind child, but thinking its no fun just b/c its blind...doesnt make you sound mature enought to adopt in the first place. |

Your attitude is poor you shouldn’t adopt at all calling any child “leftovers”. My parents work with blind people and they can do anything seeing people can do. Just differently they have books in Braille. They have descriptive movies and TV shows. |

I would not recommend adopting a child with your attitude. That will be one very unhappy kid and no one deserves that. |
