More people need to adopt.

[PieMaster]

I think adoption could save this world.

Think about it, there are hundreds upon thousands of babies and children without families around the world, as well as poor kids in America who need foster homes.
Yet why do people keep having babies?
I don't care about you wanting to experiance the miracle of birth, or being a egomaniac who is obsessed with carrying on his genes.

Couples; stop overpopulating the world and adopt.

Does anyone agree?
If not, please explain. There really isn't anyway around it.

Not adopting makes for better communication between parents and their children, because IQ, thought processes, and personality are semi-hereditary traits. But yea, stop having babies, people! Especially you, China... I'm on to you...

[the.doctor]

im absolutely pro-adoption, but i want a womans opinion, because in the end, they are the one that endures mind-numbing pain in order to create a child

Lol.
Funny.
But you're quite wrong.
95% of all hereditary traits can be overcome.

And telling the children they were adopted would be easier if there were more adopted children they could relate to.

QFT, that is very true.

Um, China's birthrate is way low. They're only allowed one child or their taxes rise like a hot air balloon.

I think their making babies underground, to build an enormous army of azns. But if you want to be correct, pretend I said India. This is off topic, now, sorry. Many people adopt Asian girls because the are often abandoned from their family before they even receive a birth certificate because the family will only accept that their one child is a boy. Sad indeed. I know a family that has adopted three Chinese girls that were abandoned.

It's true
They did fix that problem.

But the Catholics (especially Latinos) need to give up the big family thing, and just wear goddamn contraceptives.

I think you're right about adoption, for the most part, PieMaster. Maybe there's a little bigger gap between the parents and adopted kids, but the kids are WAY better off with a family than in a dirty, overcrowded, underfunded orphanage where they're not going to get a good education. And none of the adopted kids I know seem messed up because of it.

You're right about the Catholics, too. Don't have abortions if you don't want to, but why is it so bad to prevent the kids being conceived?

[Crispy]

It's a good idea in theory, but if you think about it - would you actually do it? Adoption is great, but I think I'd rather have one of my own before adopting. I know it sounds bad, but it's the truth.

[HolyOrangeDoom]

Wait - did I not say that? Oh, oops, I meant to. I agree.

[pherra]

alright, this might be long, because, I'm adopted

so, a lot of people are against adoption because they think the kids are assured a bad life. or at least some of my friends say that. but i mean, chances of being put into a bad life are the same as they are being born into a bad life. and the parents that are putting their kid up for adoption get to hand pick the parents. there are circumstances where the kid DOES get into a bad home, but it's better then the parents trying to raise the kid when they know they can't.

and yea, so i'm adopted, but i have like the most awesome parents. and i'm just as close to them as any other person. and sometimes it's hard, because i could easly think that i was a mistake..but i don't let myself think that. and it's hard hearing people say which parent they got their features from, because i can't since i don't know. but that's not really a huge problem anyways. and i talk with my birthdad through letters, which is pretty cool, you know? so, being adopted is'nt that bad, i fully support adoption

[Darkraptor]

Well first you have to remember. Having kids from birth is a natural human thing. Its programed into our brain, people have to fight that feeling to not have kids and just adopt one. Also adoption is dangerous, kinda. I mean the child has none to some medical history from his biological parents. So im some medical, or psychological cases it would be harder to find out the problem without medical history, also it is true that adopted childern have a higher chance with become bipolar schzophentic anxioty disorder, and depression. Its also might be even worse if one of the biological parents had one of those symptoms too. Im not aganst adoption at all and i would like to promote it, but im just trying to make an argument. Its against the natural human instanct and its a little risky for parents

[pherra]

the birthparents actually give a lot of medical history...if there is any at least. and sure, having kids is safer, but adopting is just as good. and remember to take in the facter that some parents can't have kids..that's why they adopt. oh..and when i say that i don't mean because they are both of the same sex (althought hat could be why) i mean beacuse the mother could have something wrong with her...or got that operation where you can't get pregent. there are a lot of factors that go into adopting kids. and it's a lot harder then it seems.

[Darkraptor]

yes of cource, but i know many adopted people and an adoption center and alot of time parents leave and abandon their child places.

[pherra]

Yeah, that can happen to. But like, my birthparents took the time to pic out what they thought would be good parents for me. And there are some, basically, careless parents in this world that would just like drop their kid off and never think twice. Which is really sad to think. But then again, there's some parents that have birthed kids that abuse them. So, either way, the kid could end up in a bad home. And yea, some adopted kids to turn out messed up, but there are some that have good lives, as well.
