If you could have your own kids, it's your best option but where you can't and you are really considering volunteering for charity work, adopt a child. :) |

I think adoption is a wonderful thing. It gives children a lovely home that they wouldnt have had. It gives children a chance to live life to the fullest and it gives couples the chance to have the happiness of having a family and children. Adoption process needs some changes but I think its great. |

When I look into the eyes of our adopted daughter, it brings an overwhelming feeling to my heart. I love her more than I ever thought possible. She is the most important thing in our lives!! I am a PROUD adoptive mother!!! |

I can speak from the side of the birth mother. The son I gave up for adoption 24 years ago was raised in a very healthy and happy home. I wanted him, but his father, whom I was married to, wanted nothing to do with him, and I just couldn't see my way through to keeping him in a family where he wasn't totally, 100% wanted. Adoption can be a fantastic thing, both for the adoptive parents and for the birth parents. Good luck to you! |

I think that the people who adopt kids r very good people. The adoption itself is a good thing to do, I totally think that is OK, and good. I mean, just look how many kids r with no parents, and how many couples r there with no kids. And, how many people who were adopted turned out to be very smart and successfully. I think adoption is good, if u can't have kids......... |

The question is a little vague, but I love the idea of adoption, My husband and I plan to adopt several children from all over, we are in process right now from Veitnam, but it is getting postponed a year or so because I'm pregnant. I think giving kids a home that don't have one is soo great.
I hope I answered the question right!

Words cannot begin to express the joy that has been brought into our home through adoption. Was it easy? NO! Was it worth it? YES!!! We have adopted 6 beautiful children over the past 8 years through being foster parents. Yes people think we are crazy, but we are commanded by God to take care of the orphans and that is what God laid on our hearts to do. Saving one child at a time. |

I think it's great! I have two boys of my own from my body and still want very much to adopt a child in a few years. I love being a parent and want to have more children, I can't imagine that adopting would be any less than wonderful! |

Ok, I am a birthmom who willingly placed my baby for adoption 9 days ago. I have some bad moments, but I also know that I did what I did to ensure the baby got a life I could not give her. I had her c-section, big scary mess. The couple who adopted her call me to ask about how I am feeling and how my older daughter is doing a lot. And they were very supportive while all of us were at the hospital. While I know that not all adoptions are like this, and I am probably one of the lucky few, I am happy with my decision. I loved her enough to give her to a couple who could not have their own children and had a lot of love to give. |

It's much better than abortion, it shows you really care about the baby (whether it's yours or not). If you are adopting a baby or young person, PLEASE be sure you tell them when they are old enough to understand. Don't tell them negatives about their birth parents (although you aren't even supposed to know them), or rub in the fact that the child is adopted.
If you are adopting a baby out, know that you may never see or hear from him/her again. But also know that they (hopefully) will get the love and care and proper welfare necessary for them to grow up happy and healthy which you may not be either able or willing to give at this time due to your current situations.
Good luck! |

I think adoption is a GREAT thing. You have so many kids in this world that need love and support and good parents. And you have people that can not have children. I do however think it takes allot of work and time. It is a long process but well worth it. I adopted my son it is the VERY BEST thing I have ever done in my life and he is my pride and joy |

I think its great there are so many children/babies/even teenagers who need loving homes. Of course there are couples/people who cant have children. I hope to have a mix of adopted and bio kids someday. |

well, since i am unable to have a child of my own, i am very thankful that adoption is available. i am sorry for the mom & dad that had the child that they have to give up for whatever reasons, but for people like me & my husband...it's a blessing. we can't wait to have a child to love and call our own. adoption is a great idea, but a lot of work...and we're only getting started. |

Every child deserves a loving family.
I do believe that the US could make adoption easier by providing more protection and support to adoptive parents. While some of the regulations are needed to protect the children, I think that the government could provide more financial assistance for adoption.
For us, adoption was a beautiful journey and we were blessed to create a family through the miracle of adoption. I just wish we could afford to do it again. |

If I could not have any of my own, I'd adopt and probably go over seas to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could love an adopted child as my own and would definitely do it if I could have never had any!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best wishes! |

Good Q's; I support a 100% because it saved my baby girl life! I was only 21 when I had her but; I was homeless, broke, living off of the state money and no place to go, so I did what any mother did out of Love..... I made choice that would change the lives of so many others and I didn't even consider them as much as what she ( my baby girl) would go through at the time I did. But, still now after 12 years of her life and seeing her growing up in pictures, I realize in was the best dam decision I made for her and my self! |

Well, I'm adopted so I think adoption is great. It's true the foster system in this country needs alot of reform but hopefully that won't stop wonderful,loving couples from adopting children. I was adopted from Korea at the age of 2 and got to exeperience a wonderful family. I know I have had a MUCH better life than if I'd grown up in Korea so that makes me very happy. My parents didn't adopt out of NEED - they already had 2 biological children of their own but just felt they wanted to adopt. I think that's great and I encourage anyone to adopt. |
