Would you adopt a child?

[Klandestina]

Me? I would. Not that I'm planning or anything, but I'm okay with it.

Yes

No

[V_Injector]

I picked that I would... but it's not because I like kids or some bullshit answer like that. Kid's didn't choose to be here... and their shitty parents most likely are pieces of shit that shouldn't be allowed to have sex, or they won the Darwin awards and somehow got themselves both killed at the same time.

Not random kids though, fuck that. It's survival of the fittest and if your own extended family won't step in for you, good luck kid. You're most likely a genetic piece of shit. My Mom was a drugged out bag whore of a slut, but at least I had extended family that were normal. I left my great grandparents home at 13 to experience foster homes after a short term of being forced to live with my real Mom (CPS took us away because my Mom is that bad). A lot of adoptive parents are basically running a racket... I was used as slave labor on a farm, they get paid by the state for taking me in. It's a win win for them. Other's like getting paid by the state and doing... sexual things with kids. Some or semi-normal and just hard up financially... you get paid to take kids in, so the woman of the house usually will do that and provide a stable income. Those kids grow up and think of them as parents that just loved them like real parents... real sweet and nice and all that, but I know reality. It was all about those Benjimans baby.

As for me, I hit 16 and got emancipated. Was an adult at 16 that can't work or drive. But I had a roof over my head, just enough food, and could finish highschool. I did school work, jerked off, and lifted weights. Ran a street gang and my boss was a Jewish landlord that payed me and my goons to rob you if you don't pay your rent.

When I'm dead... I just want them to put "fuck you" on my grave stone.

[V_Injector]

I got emotionally heated and forgot to attach a picture. I hope my words described how fucked I think it is when you're just a keep a man baby, that's later used as a source of income and labor until he was set free.

My parents did foster care from 1999 to 2001. We took in three siblings children (2, 4, 3) that were from a 7 siblings family with a mother who got pregnant while in middle school. Kids were good and they treated my parents with respect and thought as me and my younger brother as brothers. Aside from them exhibiting signs of anger when upset and fighting with each other for toys it was alright. My mom even took in the two older sisters (6,8) so it was five siblings. They eventually were removed from our home and moved to another city with their mom and siblings. I do miss them though with five children it was a handful plus the three sisters were very touchy with me which made me lead to believe they were abused when little. I believed my parents would have adopted them though they really wanted to be their brothers and sisters instead of separated.

[serious_miss419]

I would, sure yeah. Makes more sense then growing one in a relationship that goes sour.
Will I in this lifetime? Unlikely. I’m also already a parent of an almost adult child.
Perception comes from life already lived.. be kind to others who may chose differently or similarly. Some of us are more born with instincts to tend and bare children. When we have a child we give birth to, our brains chain and it’s on (in typical cases).
But say a friend or family member had to give theirs up, I’d attempt to adopt that kid to keep it in the family and keep mom and kid or if it’s dad and kid, a bond of life 🙌
I think until you’re that exact individual who’s going to adopt, you can’t really truly say sh*t. There’s many angles 📐 to the initial question 🙋‍♀️

[Account]

I dont want a biological child, never did and most probably never will.
As for adoption there are more chances of that happening, rather than me bringing another life to this rotten world.

I am not sure if I would be good at raising it though, even though I would try my best.

[Kori1236]

I don’t want kids. If that for some reason changed I would consider adoption. Likely through the foster system. And I’d be choosing the older kids that are less likely to be adopted; not to mention already potty trained

[HawkPerception]

I have very mixed feelings about it. I think ideally I would want my own blood. If I find out I can't have kids, I might adopt though. But I would not do both at the same time, because I have a feeling I'll prioritize my own blood which isn't fair to the other kid. I also might not adopt if I found out I couldn't have kids because I feel like a part of me would want to be selfish and live for myself and my blood relatives while I'm alive

[just_a_potato]

This may sound selfish, but there is only one reason I wouldn't adopt a child. I don't want them to use the 'you're not my mom' insult whenever they're upset. I've known a lot of foster/adopted kids and this seems to be like their default or something. Especially when they become teens they might want to just... leave me and find their 'real' parents. A dumb reason I know, but it's how I feel.

[AviatorTom]

At my age now, no, I would not.

However, in my first marriage, my then-wife and I wanted to have a family, but were having problems having kids. We talked about adopting, but never followed through, as things turned for the better and we ended up with three beautiful children, now grown.

So I voted Yes, meaning it's something I might have done.

[kmg9150]

For ten years a boy that was not mine knew me as dad, I never saw him anything other than my son. But she broke it off and each new man is his new dad. But yea if I had the means to do so I would. I wasn't adopted but I know how it feel like you dont have parents.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

If I were to choose to have a child, I would likely adopt one. Birth sounds like a horrible experience and I would very much like to avoid it, same with pregnancy

[Berethor]

I don't think so, caring for biological child is not easy, so to do that for someone else child?

[Apple1996]

I've thought about it. My bro recently adopted a child he was doing foster care for. It is definitely not a easy process

[Nikki1989]

I would have to change so much in my life to look after a child, so I can't see it ever happening.

[serious_miss419]

And that’s a responsible parent right there!

[Alice18]

I think this is normal and very noble. But first of all I want to give birth to my children

[katiesmuff]

Yes we would, but it's not something we are planning on doing!

[itsannalee]

I’m okay with it.
But i need to know who are the parents and their medical records.

[hanabunny]

I would be open to it but I would love to have kids of my own!

[lorenzomichael]

Absolutely I would do it and think about it after. I hope all the kids in foster homes right now find a place that they really feel at home that hats what they call it..
Home.

[buzzword]

Only if it was one of my brother's kids and the parents died in some sort of horrific accident or whatever leaving the kids in a situation were they would be put into foster care or a group home.

[Kaamraj]

Outside the western world this is an alien concept. A man has very little biologically at stake in childbirth but everything financially. So why would I want to invest my time, energy and money into genes which aren't even mine?

[thegreenyogi]

If that was my only option for having a child or if I had the possibility to adopt a child after having had babies of my own of course I would. All children deserve love and if you have plenty to give why not?

[DeeDeeDeVour]

We seriously considered it but backed out later on.

[elizamichale1]

No not really... the twins i have already r enough for me

[andreasderjuengere]

I kind of adopted a step grandson... if that counts.

[lightbulb27]

Yes we have extra to give at this time. I've considered. It can be a lot to take on but i know others have and worked out well for both. A lot of kids out there need help.

[FreyaRed]

No. From biological point it's like bird couple who raises chicks from other bird species that never cares for their progeny by themselves.

[Kelly6]

@Klandestina yes I would easily adopt a child

[LiamJHayden]

If something happened to one of my friends who has kids, I'd think about it.

[CB-Raido-Time]

It doesn't matter if I would or wouldn't because the deck was stacked against me the game was rigged against men. I would also be afraid of losing children due to that shot that was given to nearly all the children and that's worldwide.

[ManInChains]

Yes, I would rather adopt as opposed to have a biological child with a woman

[Serkee]

If I were sterile I would, but I want to have my own kids.

[Agape93]

Fuck no. It would have to be a very dire circumstance for that to happen.

[bolverk]

If I were younger and my career was based in the UK not as it is at the moment, then I would seriously consider adoption.

[genericname85]

nope. sucks for them but i'm egoistic enough to want my own children. and i'm not at all sorry about it.

[exitseven]

I say no but you never know what might happen.

[clampfan101]

I would like one of my children to be adopted.

[andreasderjuengere]

which one do you want to get rid of? :D

[clampfan101]

@andreasderjuengere Haha. No, not like that.

[andreasderjuengere]

heh heh

[Klandestina]

@clampfan101 I shouldn't be laughing but can't help 😂 why?

[Slim57]

Maybe, I've never wanted kids of my own but if I ever felt like I did I think I'd rather give a kid with no family a chance

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I plan on it one day

[Ladsin2]

No, if it turns out my seed is wonky then maybe, but not likely.

[Monalisa77]

Yes if i had a partner, job and was well enough

[luvstoned4him]

I wouldn't mind. I love kids

[redskulldangerzone64]

I would but I'm not stable enough in my life to care for a child

[coxoabean]

Yes I would it's my dream to

[12karen]

I'm okay with it, if needed I'd adopt a child

[Caroline91]

We wouldn't be opposed to it.

[NathanDavis]

I would adopt two...

[Purpleronnie]

I don’t want a child…. Period , so no !

[BadApple69]

Yes I would.

[rparks]

Not at my age

[worldscolide]

It depends on several factors

[KostasKouvalis]

I could not. It's just not the same

[beefcakebradybatson]

At SEVENTY-ONE?

[Crazzyyworld]

Is that a part of American dream?

[eagle1951]

not now

[paledreams]

No, no, no

[TacosRAwesome]

Possibly.

[Dongie]

Yep.

[scott04sa22]

Nope

[jahaims]

Nope

[Kingofkings1992]

Fuck no
