Would you ever adopt?

encientebelle5552

honestly no i can have children and i want to have mine, i cant imagine missing the baby stage and i would never even think of adopting a baby because of the many ppl who cannot have them who want them babies are so hard to adopt as the demand is so high, more people should adopt older children but dont and i cant judge because i couldnt either, i also could never put on of mine up for adoption however i could be a surrogate for someone i loved (family, friend etc) if needed because that baby is no part mine and i also think ppl who cannot handle a baby should give to adoption rather than abort haha tho i know that wasnt a question had to get on my soap box sorry

I hope to foster one day.
I would never put another child through what I lived with - to never know my truth - my heritage - who I looked like - who I acted like - who I had talents like.
Closed adoptions are so very wrong on so many levels.
So very damaging for the child.
Adoption as it is carried out to this day - no.
Too painful for the child.
Permanent care - if needed - absolutely - if parental rights were completely relinquished - but I would still hope for open contact with the child's family of origin - as that is what is best for the child - as long as no harm is present.
It should be about the child - not about me.

a healing adoptee

being honest: I really don't know. I have not come to that point in life, where i'm in a releantionship to think about having kids. So, i can't say yes or no.

Never.

I was raised by other people's parents, I only ever wanted to raise my own children.

I was the first person adopted out in my natural family, and adoption will END with me.

Independ"ant"

I would only adopt if the child was an "orphan" (parents are dead) and didn't have extended family members. I would do everything I could to help struggling parents rather than add to their problems by taking their baby or child. Fostering is needed more so than adoption.

My initial reaction - yes, because I've been doing a lot of research on abused kids in the foster care system (DFCS) and all I want to do is show these kids that they are worthy of love too. My husband is not ready for that and at this time I have to respect that.

When I really think hard about it I know I would 'want' to love the adopted kids as much but I don't know how I would be able to love them as my own biological child. I'm not saying that to say that it's not possible but being realistic at this point in my life it wouldn't be fair or right to the other children if I had a 'favorite'...maybe in future...I really don't know.

I would rather die than give up any child that I carry to term.

Just a Mom

I have adopted a large sibling group that I had as foster children. We did not want to do private adoptions, though.

Besides being adopted myself I've also adopted twice so far with a third one hopefully by the end of the year.

Definitely, and I will probably do foster care at some point in my life. I am not sure if I would adopt an infant though... I would probably adopt a child somewhere between 2-6. I am not sure if I would go domestic or international or what, but I have always wanted to adopt.

I have been blessed to adopt a beautiful baby boy, and he's getting ready for a brother or sister soon, possibly (his full bio). Adopting him has been one of the best things I ever did in my life. I hope he feels fortunate to be adopted by me, and I'm working hard to make sure he has every advantage he possibly can, including that of his bio parents being part of his life too, and helping them, him, and us together.

lukishamorning

aloha.girl59

Already have.

Dayle

sarah m

would i adopt a baby... yes... would i give my baby up for adoption.. no.. i couldnt bare carrying a baby for nine month seeing it born and then giving it up

Jennifer L

We did adopt.

smurf_lou

I would love to adopt and would definitely try if I couldn't conceive myself.

I was adopted and still think sometimes what life would be like if they hadn't found a family for me and I'd have been passed round foster homes....every child deserves the chance of a normal life so I think it's one of the best things that someone can do.

Proud Mommy

I would definitely adopt if the opportunity presented itself. But, I would never give up any of my children for adoption!

Mom to Foster Children

Yes, in the process of it now. Hopefully only one more hurdle to overcome with court!

hoping & wishing

My husband and I are definately going to adopt at least 1 maybe even 2 children. We have always wanted to do this as well as birth 3-4 kids. We dream of having a large family.

I have been TTC for almost 2 years and if it turns out I can't then I will probably adopt more than 2 kids (not all at the same time though).

As for giving my baby up for adoption then my answer I no way. I just couldn't live with that.

Good luck!!

appleblossom07

Of course I would. If I really love someone, I would adpot them and love them as my own.

Honestly, this is a hard question. If it were only up to my fiancee we would have already adopted about 10 children. Considering he has 3 children, I have one and another on the way, it would be hard. If I could not have children, I would most definitely adopt. It is just so sad to see so many children that do not have families.

BAYANO DUMINGO

with all my heart buddy & i,ve tried twice already.

Shelly P. Tofu, E.M.T.

I plan to.

Hoping for baby #1

I would if I was not able to have any children at all.. I wouldn't be able to give my child up for adoption though.

Nichola H

yes both me and my hubby are looking to adopt .

Kiana

Yes, in fact I really want to when I get older. I don't think I would ever give my child up for adoption.

Sophie

A baby? Yes. I have... and may again in the future.
