Search Results: adopting a child

Please explain why. #Kids #FamilyPlanning #Family

1. How many children are too many, and why? Let's say it's a couple - e. g. a mom and a dad.
2. Is it wrong to have too many children, and why/why not?
3. Does the same thing apply to both biological and adoptive children?

My Opinion:
I thinks people should be allowed to decide how many children they wants to have, but I wouldn't recommend people having more than three children because of a child require a lot of energy, time, love and is expensive. A child also needs health insurance, college saving, space (big enough house), food, clothing, recreational activities etc. Healthy, able-bodied, well behaved and good economy aren't guaranteed for anyone.

If you're rich, you may afford having five children although it's higher than my general recommendation. But if you're poor, you may not be able to afford one child. Yet many poor people decides to have many like 5 - 10. I've even heard about people having 20 children.

Often the oldest siblings have to take care of the younger ones because of the parents doesn't always have enough time and capacity to take care of everyone. In addition the oldest siblings also often are expected to make money to the family, take care of their old parents etc. I think it's worse if you've many biological than adoptive ones, because of then you're putting people into the world without them asking to be born and if you fails as a parent it would do a bigger impact. If you adopts, it's someone else that may have get pregnant with an accident and therefor not your fault for their birth. It's better with a big family than none.
