I smell a rat with this question.....
There is nothing that an adoptive parent "does not do" other than act of giving birth to THAT particular child. Instead, the parent goes through a sometimes grueling adoption process that on an emotional level can be more challenging than labor and delivery. All else is the same. Many give birth to other children, and have been pregnant sometimes many times, only to lose baby after baby. Others have babies born stillborn. Any jokes here?
If you are going to say something crass about adoption, take your thoughts elsewhere. If you are going to give a positive and sweet answer to this "riddle", then forgive my assumption.
This is a mostly positive forum where people interested in adoption can come together to exchange ideas and information and advice. |

Well, I guess you could say instead of creating another person, the couple (or single person) is giving a home to someone who is already here and doesn't have one. |
