Answer 1

I'm beginning to think that it'll probably be the only way I ever have children. I wish adoption organizations could make very sure that the home an adopted child is going to is verifiably safe. As it stands now, some of these organizations will let a child go to a suspected crack house because there aren't enough good homes for these kids to go to.

On the other hand, I wish adoption wasn't really necessary, much like I believe that abortion isn't. I think both are crude answers to human ignorance as regards reproduction; still, it's a necessary evil, although I still despise abortion. (Sorry, but you did bring it up.) But there are occasions when a child might actually do better if he/she is adopted into another family as opposed to staying with his/her biological family. It's an individual thing, really.

Answer 2

I have noticed that people tend to believe the media hype about things like adoption. They rely on really stupid sources like the film "Mommy Dearest" and when the news covers terrible incidents that are really very rare. People don't take time to learn the truth about myths in general.

We adopted our daughter from birth and are just in seventh heaven! Because she is black and I am white people often notice that she could not be my biological child and ask me if we adopted her. I am amazed at how many people tell me that they were adopted too. Its not something that you can tell about a person by looking at them. I guess that once a month I meet someone who was adopted and they mostly tell me that they had very happy childhoods and love their adopted parents. Some say they meet their birth parents, but some say they don't really want to, right now.

Adoption used to be sort of shameful many years ago. People kept it secret, which made the kids feel that something was wrong with them. Now-a-days most adoptions are open or semi-open where the adoptive family and the birth family have contact by letters and pictures or by direct contact. Also, adoptions are celebrated in families like birthdays. My daughter at 3 knows her birth-mother from pictures and says that she was adopted. She doesn't understand it completely, but she's learning the language.

I am more happier now in my life that I have ever been and its because of that little girl. Looking back on my life I can see that everything I have done has led me to her. She is the reason I was born. I cherish her more than anything.

My mom was also adopted (by her step-mother's mother.)

I am pro-choice, but I wish more women knew about how adoption has changed over the years. Choosing an adoption plan for a baby does not mean that she will never see him or her again or that she does not love him or her. Most adoptive families want to keep contact and let the child know that decision was made with love.

Answer 3

Hmmmmmmm, adoption. Well, I think it's a great idea that we have a system about adoption. Allowing the unfortunately children to live again and be loved. We have alot of children outhere that are needing our help. My daughter is adopted by my husband now. She is actually the daughter of that question earlier about "what is it mean when you dream about being killed"
It's not the same as real love bonding, but I found her a good daddy and he loves her very much.

Answer 4

I think adoption is great...
If everyone learned to love each child as there own. The world would be so great. Personally I prefer to adopt children that have already been brought in this world, that have no one to take care of them and give them the love of a mother, than go making my own.

Answer 5

Well, i depends. It depends if you get a good family or not. But like doggy adoptions are great!! But sometimes people adoptions can be hard for the child.

Answer 6

i think adoption is a great thing. the only problem with adoption, is in the u.s. the mom can want her baby back and get it. i think if i were going to adopt, i would get a child from another country so i wouldn't have to worry about giving it back, and it's cheaper.

Answer 7

My sister in law was adopted, and she is very thankful to her birthmother for giving her up. And equally thankful to her adoptive parents for adopting her.
I think that it takes some one very courageous and selfless to give a child up. I praise them for thinking of the child and not of themselves, for wanting a better life, and better choice, a better upbringing than what they had.
Their heros in my eyes.

Answer 8

Abortion is legalised murder.

Adoption is about giving someone a second chance.
