ntrout Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 What is your opinion of adoption Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 I feel adoption is a great idea. It keeps children from going to foster home after foster home and gives them the chance they deserve in life. My wife was put in foster care when she was a child and it can be pretty rough on a child. So if you're thinking about adopting........ya got my vote!!!!!!!!!

wtnhunt Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Kind of a broad and somewhat unusual question here. Depending on how you look at it there are a lot of plusses but can also be some possible drawbacks to adoptions. Adoption is a great way for some to have kids where it might not otherwise be possible and for kids to go to loving homes where they might otherwise be not loved or cared for.

One of the things I have experienced over the years is this. I known some that were adopted, and found out only after being out of high school that they were! They were devastated! I feel its important as soon as the child is fully capable, they know the facts. Before its too late. JMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popgun Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 A very intense subject that can't be easily answered. It isn't for everybody, but it was for me and my wife. It takes a loving, and committed couple to make it work. No one should have children biologically or adoptive for the wrong motives. Having children will not keep a marriage together or make married life any easier. I have always regarded my daughter as my daughter, even though she is not biologically mine. She has always known that she was chosen, and not just the product of a biological urge. You must be sure of the decision, because there is no turning back, and you must be sure to make the decision that is for the betterment of the child and not your own ego. I'm sure that jbeck can add a lot of input to this thread, because he and his wife are committed to each other and their adopted daughter, as well as the new one they expect this winter. Mary adopted at age 5 Mary, 25 years later The most caring and beautiful daughter a father could ask for. ....popgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntrout Posted July 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Thanks for the info. My wife and I have finished all of our classes and have been aproved for adoption. We are so excited. We can not have children and this is the next best thing. There are so many children in the system that need good homes and loving families Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michihunter Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 As an adopted person myself, I cann say that it may be the best thing that has ever happened to someone looking for love from someone they can call Mom and Dad!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
