I'd heavily consider it tbh as there's enough children who need good parents in a time where parent hood isn't really advised at least where I'm from as there are multiple factors which are slowly shaping this place into a rapidly declining country where it'll be hard to rase one as the environment points to them having a bad life. However for the kids already stuck here It'd be nice to help a few out till they're at least old enough to make their own decision as an Adult and get a shot at a semi decent life or at least a good childhood for the most part.

I think adoption's pretty cool. It's a choice available if you don't have the means to raise a child. Someday, I would like to adopt if I have a partner who wants kids as well.
After all my kids are grown and moved out, I want to foster teenagers and then if it goes good then adopt. The reason I want to foster teenagers is because i've seen so many great kids with so much potential go down the wrong path because they are stuck in a group home with nobody there for them. And I feel like with teenagers, they would only be there for a few years until they are old enough to leave and then I could get more. But with babies or little kids, you have to be there for them for so long and thats a big comittment.
If I have a husband, house, money and time why not?

Problem is it gets sketchy really quick. Adoptions from over seas is more then likely human trafficking. They tell the born parents the kid is just going to school for a few months and are coming back. Ultimately a lie. That is the more common situation.
Second most common is white marriages want a white child to adopt. The most prominent area is from Russia with a lot of birth defects from alcohol and drugs. That are ultimately not compatible with life. International adoptions agencies should be crimes against humanity in my honest opinion.
Adoptions should be first and foremost be within the family. Secondly be in the village of a sorts. That is the essential due diligence needed for adoptions. If you can't get that village connection, i say military of any branch recruiting is the next best bet. A military academy is 100% better place to be then in a random pedophiles foster home that has beem historically been too common.I am adopted, lol. I think itβs a great thing, but it can come with a lot of disconnection of identity for the child, if that makes sense. In my personal experience, I didnβt know who the hell I was, where I came from, or what my history looked like. I was disconnected from my identity because I had no ties/knowledge of biological family.
Yes, I would adopt a child, and I would have my own children too.- https://www.youtube.com/embed/slzLs07t8Wc
Yes because I wouldnβt want to add onto the problem of overpopulation. And a lot of us are just fully blind to the real problem of overpopulation. Some of us literally canβt open our eyes and notice how theyβre billions of people on the roads when taking off on an airplane.
I think adoption is great. Gets children without a home a place where they'll be taken care of and cherished.
Would I ever adopt? Hell no, I don't have the means or mental strength. The time and resources it takes to adopt is basically a vetting process.
I have one that I personally squeezed out, that'll do.If I ever wanted kids, yeah but I don't and want a lot of money so no. For women, just having one child ages you more than 9 years, plus shortens your telomeres accelerating your aging faster than obesity and and or cigarettes, plus its real lame bein a mom.
I really like the ideea of adopting but the process is hard. I would like to adopt a child, even a teenager rather than bring more children to this world honestly
I met my oldest sister when I was 27. My other sister and I both told her (separately) that she was the lucky one. She grew up on a farm, we grew up in public housing moving constantly. No heat in the winter, bare cupboard at the end of every month. Mom crying over bills she can't pay. Can't play a sport or do other extracurricular activities because you simply can't afford the uniform, not eating lunch or breakfast, all our clothes from the salvation army.
Adoption is a great thing.It's a horrible system. Too many kids go into it each year, only a fraction are actually adopted, some of those that do could be sent to abusive homes. Those left behind can easily be abused as well, and left to grow up knowing they're unloved and unwanted. Plus some places shut out good people from being parents just because of religion, racial or sexual identity issues.
No, I won't adopt. I don't want kids.My second wife and I tried to have children for years and never could, she had some issues. We tried to adopt but after dumping 12 grand into it, gave up when Covid hit and shut everything down so it wasted our money.
There is such a huge waiting list to adopt newborns, 2 to 3 years on average. It is why so many adopt from other countries.If I am unable to have children, I would 1000% consider adoption. I really want a family, so if left with no choice, I absolutely adopt.
I adopted my 2 oldest daughters because their dads were dead beats and I didnβt want them to feel unwanted and I love them and raised them all the same if you give me problems Iβll give you problems if someone else gives them problems they get bigger problems
I would love to adopt. I do not see myself getting married or even dating for that matter. Women can be a pain in the ass and why waste time only for things not to work out? My career path simply does not let me have the time to date. I could probably raise a kid with the help of my family.
I was adopted and I love my parents very much. I would be open to adopting a kid
I ββββββ suppose ββββββ I ββββββ think ββββββ adoption ββββββ is ββββββ wicked ββββββ cool. I ββββββ personally ββββββ would ββββββ not ββββββ consider ββββββ an ββββββ adoption ββββββ or ββββββ at ββββββ least ββββββ not ββββββ right ββββββ now. ββββββ ββββββ ββββββ ββββββ ββββββ ββββββ ββββββ ββββββ ββββββ ββββββ ββββββ ββββββ ββββββ ββββββ ββββββ
I wouldnβt want to as a single parent but if I got married I would consider it.
If:
- My ex lost her new man.
- We got the chance to reconcile.
- She and her daughter miraculously secured green cards.
- She was willing to marry me.
Then, I would totally adopt the little girl. But that's a lot of variables.Not with the adoption system we have in sweden. I would just be pissing my money away as a single guy. You basically need to have a family to adopt children. And if I have a family I don't need to adopt.
yes with my fiance. I feel bad when I hear stories she shares of kids who don't have family, no support... they suffer at such a young age... and we have so much. this is not a fair world, I respect those who take on such endeavors.
If it werenβt for adoption I wouldnβt have been given the gift of motherhood.
I don't support same sex couples adopting, and I also don't like these Western couples, especially celebrities adopting foreign children, when there are children in their own country that could use a good home.
But I don't like the idea of adopting. I'd rather have my own, the natural way. Plus especially if someone already has a biological child, I feel the adopted child will never be loved in the same way.
