Is it a bad idea for me to adopt a child?

Train Wreckx4

No, I don't think it's a bad idea at all to adopt a child at eighteen.
But the only thing I'm worried about is if you have all the things you need for a child. You should have a decent amount of money, job, and clothes and a home for your baby.

Otherwise, all is well. I hope you do adopt. There's plenty of children out there that need a home. =]

It is a good idea to adopt kids because there are too many kids that need a home. But, even though you don't see yourself being with anyone you should still wait until you're a little older. Also, before you adopt you should make sure you can care for a child 100%. Food, clothes, shelter, school stuff, the whole thing. Adoption isn't cheap either. I say go to college, get a good job so that, even though you'd be a single parent, your child would still have a kick *** life.

not at all . adopting is a very sweet thing to do . the parents of the kids in adoption are there cuz either the parents cant handle having a baby or they arent aloud to . do a wonderful thing for those children , and make there lives worth something .

There is nothing wrong with adoption, but you may want to wait for the right time in your life. Definitely go to college and then secure a career for yourself that will allow you to adequately support any children that will be in your care :)

YouÂ´re not a idiot its just that you should wait more time to do this, cause is a important decision not only for yourself but for the child you wanna adopt.

Well, wait until you get to the point where you're sure. There's nothing idiotic about it. You wouldn't be the first guy I've heard say that he doesn't want his own kids but would consider adopting.

Jessica

yes u should wait and save some $ so u can sopport it :]

I would say no, because I did a whole report on adopting children. You will be giving this child a home and love. I would first make sure that you can support the child. If you can't then you will only be hurting the child.

I don't think you are an idiot but a can say with some certainty you will not be able to adopt. For a start you are far too young, other factors to consider are whether you are in a position to care for a baby, whether you have the financial resources to provide the baby and can you provide a stable home environment. Ithink its great when people do choose to adopt, and hopefully in a couple of years time, you will be a good candidate to do so.

there's nothing wrong with adoption, just not at this age, honey.
you still have your education ahead of you, and no one will let you adopt a child at this age until you have a full-time job that has enough pay to support you, your home, basic needs AND the child.

Don't forget, a child is also a full-time responsibility so be very serious about this. you could change your mind one day, you're only 18.

and by the way, I want to adopt a child too, but I'm waiting until my life is stable enough.

KInq is FIs

Really?!?!

do not box yourself into only one situation; people can change their ideas

Melissa

you're only 18 so i would advise you to wait. You've hardly had a chance to live your life yet. Go out and experience life, and by that i don't mean go and sleep with loads of people at all. Travel, get an education whatever. Then when you've had your life experience you'll be in a better position to have a child and you may have even met that special someone you want to start a family with. If you have that experience then when you do have a child you will be able to help them through life because you have that experience to back you up and to rely on. :)

you should wait.. you're too youngg.

They don't let kids adopt kids---come back in 10 yrs.

chacoalitte

You gotta think about the child and whether he or she would be in a better situation.

Marian M

Yes. You have a blue mohawk. No child should be subjected to that! LOL

picho.chee.chyeah

kinda.. theres a lot involved in having a child n you kinda need that family support

box turtle

theyll never give a kid to an 18 yr old..u have no source of income or if u do..def not one thatll be able to support a kid

they most likely won't let and 18 yr old adopt a kid. you will have to wait until your older if i were to guess.

Random Chick

yes.

DeVry Graduate

ya its a bad idea, wtf you thinkin?

pibe

wait some years more

StopPanda

Well you have heart and you want to be a parent ...that is not a bad thing...but How can you possibly adopt a child at 18 and be able to support the child? Are you independently wealthy? I am raising 3 children and I found it tough...I started when I was in my 30's. They are all teens now, and It is a lot easier (They are good kids) , but just starting out at 18 with a newborn...where is your cape Superman?

TheKackler

Be careful you aren't really trying to resolve something from your own childhood.

yresssssssssss

Yes, you are being an idiot. How, at 18, could you possibly take care of a child. You are going to be adding another human being to our communities. It's not just a doll to dress up, or a play buddy. This person will someday need to be a contributing member to society. You need to focus on learning everything you can about life, love, caring, learning, etc., so that you can one day be the best parent/teacher you can be.

You can't see yourself commiting to another adult for the rest of your life but you think you are mature enough to commit to a child for the rest of your life?

You are so far beyond being a total idiot it is almost laughable.

Hey,

Just to let you know, I have read most of your other question/answers. So I knida know all the stuff you went through.

I don't think you're emotionally stable to have a child yet. I know children are wonderful, but you need to be emotionally and physcially stable to have them.

Also, without a job, etc. I don't think you'll be able to adopt one.

Just get yourself in college and finish your education. Once you have your career well defined, you can start a family.

Also please don't say you can't have a family, etc. I know you have been hurt, but you just have to pick yourself up, brush off the dust and keep on walking. You have already made it this far and things can only get better from here on.

Girls want guys that believe in themselves and are decent and kind, sobre and responsible. But most of all they want guys that are loyal and faithful.

From reading all the advice you have been offering others, I say you have a lot of these characteristics. So you just have to believe in your self and realize all the good things you can do.

Best Wishes =)
