Search Results: adopting a child

Adopting is an heroic act in my opinion!

1) It is very unselfish, as you are not considering all the inconvenience that comes with raising a child, but are considering first the welfare of the child.

2) You are rescuing a child from a lifetime of feeling neglected, unwanted and abandoned.

Here is the suggestion...

For a couple that would like a gender mix, like one boy and one girl, for example.

Have your first one by natural birth, it will be a boy or a girl, naturally.

Then adopt one of the opposite gender. Now you are guaranteed one of each gender and you can pick similar ages or whatever age difference you choose, as well as eye color, hair color, etc.

This would also work perfectly if you want 2 of the same gender as your birth child, or if you want more than 2 of the same gender, or mixed genders.

A wonderful idea in my book and one that allows the family to have their own biological child as well as rescuing another, or many!

What do you think?

Would you consider adoption even if you didn’t have trouble conceiving?

I don’t really want children but if I changed my mind later, I’d rather adopt a kid who needs a family.
