What's so wrong about adoption?

They are stupid kids, then. There is nothing wrong with adoption. It's a great opportunity to give children good homes, when they would otherwise not have them, for couples who can't or choose not to have biological children, and for mothers who are unable to take care of their biological children.

I'm not adopted, but I can't imagine anyone seeing something wrong with it. I would ignore them, people sometimes scorn the things that are unfamiliar to them. They'll grow up someday and realize how silly they are.

They just don't understand. Unfortunately there are people that actually think that adoption is not a good thing, including people on this forum. i am adopted too, and have 2 adopted children, and I can tell you it is not horrible. Most likely those kids in your school have not chosen to hear your side of the story. Don't hate them, just try and understand that they truly don't understand. Ignorance can make people say things that are wrong. I suppose there really are some bad stories that are related to adoption- and unfortunately that is what they may have heard, from the media or even forums like this. Those of us who are thankful and glad that we were adopted just have to continue to believe that. Don't let others ignorance, effect you. I know that is hard. Don't think my in-laws even think it is a good thing- VERY SAD

I think it's awesome to have someone choose you and love you unconditionally. I was adopted, my mom saved my life, I was very ill when I was left at a hospital doorstep by my natural mom.
My mom loved me more than anyone in the world. My husband was adopted as well, his mom remarried, and his father adopted him. He says it's the best thing anyone has given him: his father's last name. He values that above anything.
He said if kids in school even hinted of any remarks, he would tell the kids to back off. They did not bother him much.
We wish we could adopt children, but unfortunately it is so difficult.
You are very fortunate to have unconditional love, that is a very rare thing to find. Don't worry about the kids, your real friends won't judge you. Maybe you need new friends. And don't be afraid to stand up for yourself and what you believe in.

I don't know what some people's problem is with it. Look around at their lives - do some of them live with (biological) parents who pay absolutely no attention to them? Do some of them live with unrelated people like step-parents and step siblings or their mom has had 3 live-in boyfriends in the past 3 years? And they think *adoption* is a problem? I bet your parents think the sun rises and sets on you. : )

The only thing that is wrong about adoption is that adoption is often about what the adults in the situation need and not what the child needs. That is wrong and sad.

You are the person who matters in adoption - no one else, including the people in your school. Maybe you should talk to your high school counselor about your feelings.

Maybe they really don't understand what it's all about. We adopted a daughter 24 years ago and she is happy she is adopted---always was happy to have a forever family. That doesn't mean we don't have 'our times'--we sure do but our love is always there. She has taught me so much. She is a survivor--thank God. I've met teens who have to me 'I wish I was adopted'. Maybe you could write a paper on adoption, or give a talk on ir, or have your Mom come in and talk with kids.

'Insert name here'

It depends on the adoption. When its all about money and gaining a 'perfect baby' it is wrong. But otherwise adoption can be an amazing thing for most people, but it isn't for everyone i would say.

There is nothing wrong with adoption. They are just dumb kids who don't take the time to learn about something before they make a judgment on it.

HarisPilton

nothing wrong. just ignore them. you look so sad in your pic though

Forget them, you have parents that love you enough to adopt you. Tell them that at least your adoptive parents had a choice to have you but their parents didnt, they were an accident! LMAO I bet that will shut them ungrateful kids up!!

I'm adopted and I think adoption has EVERYTHING wrong with it.

Seriously, being ripped out of the arm's of your parents to be given to and infertile couple who just can't bear not having children. That sounds sick.

And what happens if I need a bone marrow transplant. I needed one when I was five, I didn't get a good enough of a donor, but I survived despite the slim chance of my survival.

While they have no right to judge adoption if they don't know about YOUR situation specifically, I think they are right. I get made fun of since I'm adopted too. I just don't let it get to me. There is so much more to life than my adoption. Sure I want to know where I'm from and all, but if you think adoption is great don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Adoption is not wrong. I am adopted and have wonderful parents and siblings who are also adopted. I agree with most of the posts, most people do not understand adoption and why birth mothers would choose to place their child for adoption. I have a wonderful and loving family and am proud to be adopted.

Nothings wrong,

However whenever a single man expresses he wants to adopt, he gets accused of being a Child Molester.
