adopting a child create problems in future??

Question

i have a 5 year old son. i am planning to adopt a 2 year old girl child. what could be the possible problems that may arise in future???

Answer 1

Nothing more than if you were to have a biological child. There are no guarantees, but I wish you all the luck in the world, love is the most important thing you can give to a child, and if you have that, you have it all. God Bless you for giving a child a home with love.

Answer 2

The little girl might have issues bonding with a parent. I'm not sure what her current situation is, but some children that are from bad homes and end up being passed around from home to home end up having detachment issues. But there's plenty of support groups and therapy that can help a whole family with that.
Your little boy could feel alienated as well. It seems like a great situation where you'd sit down and talk to him all about becoming a big brother and what it means to have more people in your family and whatnot.

There's a page with some articles on siblings..having children and then adopting. I hope it helps!

Answer 3

that would totally depend on how you and your family handle the situation. I was adopted as an infant by a family that already had 4 natural children and they where all careful to make sure that I knew the truth so that no one else would be the one to tell me, but also they treating it like I was no different that they where. just be sure both kids know the deal don't keep things hidden that could come out at the wrong time causing more pain that it should

Answer 4

mostly yes! when you have a double mind like this. this question shows that you are already anticipating a problem in future.
let me help you find an answer by yourself.
Are you alone? if no, Who are all there in your family? please talk to all of them
Do you have any Inheritable property( to be passed on to the next generation)? if yes does anybobyelse apart from your kid has any interest in it. please consider them and talk to them. there could be a problem sharing it later.
above all what's the purpose of adaptation? If you just want to have a female heir. go ahead.
If you like any specific child and you want to have her as your daughter, go ahead.
If you just want to do charity, just sponser for some financially deprived people.
we normally don't discord any of our birth relationships whatever may be the situation. if you can share such an intimate relation with your adaptee, please go ahead. all the best

Answer 5

I don't see any problems..

I see a happy family:)

As long as you've already talked to your son about it, and involved him in the decision.

Also, once you have adopted your daughter, talk about her adoption as shes growing up, never hide it.

Answer 6

maybe in the distribution of properties to each of them. the adopted child might think that she should have also a fair share to the leagal child. but that depends on you. and that depends on the relationship of the two if they are giving each other the right that they must have.
