Adoption is never a bad idea |

I believe that it is great you would consider giving a home to a child who needs one.
I chose not to have children (due to genetic problems) and would consider adopting if the situation was right. |

It's nice to finally see some positive comments about adoption in this section. I have always been drawn to adopt, even as a child I knew one day when I grew up I wanted to adopt. |

theres absolutely nothing wrong with that:) you would be making a childs dream come true if you adopt:) |

No, not at all. When you adopt you're giving a home to a child that didn't have one before. I would guess the reason you don't want your own would be you might be a little afraid of having to take care of a baby. So adopting would be a good option. |

Weather a child comes to you through birth or adoption they all have the exact same needs in nurturing. If your career is far more important than think seriously about why you want kids. Helping a child in "need" is putting their needs before you're own. That means you career could suffer at times to do this. This doesn't change just because you adopted a child rather than had a biological child. Their needs aren't less or suddenly self sufficient at 10yrs old etc...
Not weird, just not thought through... |

Its not wrong. Weather some people want to accept it or not there are many children that are in need of homes and families. Not everyone has a desire or want to have biological children. If you choice to one day adopt I urge you to do so through the foster care system |

It's not wrong. Part of the reason I believe you think that is because you want a child that needs help instead of wanting to bring another child into the world by your choice. |

No it isn't wrong provided you're doing it for the right reasons such as providing a loving home for a child who really does need one such as a child who is in foster care and can't go back to their parents because they would be at risk.
As you then go on to say you don't want kids but if you did you would rather adopt then yes it is a weird question to ask.
As you want to focus on your career then you really need to think about how children would fit into your lifestyle. |

no, this is not wrong at all. there are so many children that need to be adopted and not every one is cut out for adopting. If you are, that's wonderful. it may be a little nontraditional but it is wonderful and will still be every bit your child. there is nothing wrong, you just want to have your children in a different way. if that's what you feel you should do, then you should do it. |

nothing is wrong adopting a child. they need you, they need some love. trust me living in an orphan is not easy, you only get food and a bed to sleep but you never get a kiss or a good night from someone that loves you. but remember adopting a child is the same thing as having a biological child. it really doesn´t make any difference because you have a baby that you need to take care, like biological parents do. in this life we are not mom and dad just because we girls got pregnant or because we gave them birth, to become a father and a mother you need to give that child love and you need to protect them. am sure you are going to be a great father, and your kids are going to love you so much for giving them love, a place to stay and a shining star to their smiles. |

You can not focus on your career and adoption at the same time---they both require a lot from a person.
There are hundreds of Waiting children in the foster care system. |

no there is no problem in that. many families do this and i it's great that you would rather support and raise a child that needs a good family to car for them |

Yes. It's wrong. |

Of course it's not wrong, lots of children need homes. Just know that adopted kids ARE your own. |

Why have a kid at all then, if you want to focus on your career?
If you change your mind about wanting kids however, I would think you might change your mind at that point about wanting a biological child as well. But you should wait to cross that bridge when you come to it. |

If you really don't want kids, why would you want to adopt? Having children is not a requirement. |

Yeah. |

Babies may be tough but adopted kids have their own set of issues. Mom/dad can't (or won't) take care of them so they have to live somewhere else. That's pretty tough to take. Even if they aren't old enough to remember the adoption they'll figure it out as they get older, so you'll be dealing with abandonment issues at some point.
If you really want to adopt from foster care, more power to you. Just don't go into it thinking that it will be easier than raising your own children.
If you really don't want children, you don't need children, adopted or not. There's no law that says you have to have children. Many people choose to not have children. There is nothing wrong with that. It doesn't make you less of a person and it certainly doesn't mean something is wrong with you. |

No, I don't think it's wrong. I would just say, if you want to adopt, please consider opening your home to a kid who really needs one. Healthy infants are easy to find homes for. Maybe you'd consider offering a home to a hard-to-place kid, such as an older child, one who's handicapped, or a sibling group. |
