Yes? No? (looks hopeful)

Yes, I do. Not right now though. I have a condition where it makes it very difficult for me to have children, so adoption really is my only option. I would love to adopt a little black boy and little asian girl! That would be my dream! I think it's incredible how there are people out there who would love and raise a child as if he/she were their own (with love, of course).

Didn't PLAN on it AT ALL but we've adopted three now!! We are foster parents & sometimes when the child's parents rights are terminated they are adoptable and I could not say no. LOL Zack was 2 days old when he came to live with us. He was cocaine & marijuana positive and a VERY CHALLENGING baby but he will be 4 in March and I love him SO MUCH!! Shawn & Shilo were 3 years and 4 months old when they came to live with us. They are now almost 7 and 4 and I love them SO MUCH too!!! We also have legal custody of a little girl who will be 7 next week, 3 biological children (ages 24, 21 and 16), a 21 month old foster son & his 9 month old sister. I just became a grandma for the first time on Oct 6 and will be grandma again in January - both girls! The moral of my story - NEVER SAY NEVER!

I have an adopted child and she is so special to me, my boys were already grown and I have always wanted a girl, when I met my husband he had a three year old daughter who I love as my own and adopted when she was six. Would I do it again, yes if I were younger. Having a baby doesnt make you a mother. Raising and loving them as your own does. I feel the same toward her as I do the kids I gave birth to. Only she is my only daughter and 14 years younger than my youngest son making her pretty spoiled by myself as well as my sons.
Do it you will never be sorry you will just have another child to love.

No. I have 4 of my own. I don't honestly think I could love an adopted child as much as my own. Don't think that would be fair to the adopted child.

Myself no, I have 2 children & one on the way. But I guess if a situation arraised we would take in a child to adopt.

No but one can never tell. I am an adopted child but I already have 2 almost teenagers of my own. I would not be opposed to it at all.

My husband and I want a lot of kids, some natural and some adopted. We'd really like to adopt deaf babies.
