Search Results: adopting a child

Large number of orphaned and foster kids in the USA alone, let alone the world. Some additional number of parents are not useful and detrimental.

Many people have good homes, successful, sufficient land and resources and skills to raise kids. We all have extra space and capacity, most of us... if we opened our minds a bit.

Would you be more likely to take in.. adopt, sponsor, become parents or mentors of young children... who go house to house begging for such support?

Children come with a govt identity card indicating critical information, trust is ensured. Children would be given a list of homes where there are decent, successful people assumably, driven around by volunteer good semaritans, and provided volunteer case working to protect their interests.

Children could choose which parents they feel comfortable with, should the new parents accept them. If doesn't work out, they are returned to go look for new parents.

At minimum... people can provide resources...$, food, clothes, knowledge, good will.

Or would you rather have them hidden out of sight and ignore the reality of these people who lack support and resources, relying on the government to take care of them?

Your job would be to take them on, yes you have to pay for them, maybe the govt helps some. There's no free lunch...

someone is going to argue... adopt? We'll, maybe you want to... but maybe some real life marketing would get you moving...

This was a scenario @T-8900 brought up. I also used it in my third MyTake on this: The OTHER Last Abortion and "Pro-Life is Stupid" Argument I Feel Like Having , along with other questions on here about this stupid issue. I thought this scenario was really was a good test for people who CLAIM they care about "not seeing babies murdered."

So this is the scenario. Your next door neighbor got pregnant even though she used protection. She's going to have triplets, but never wants to be a mother in her entire life and wants an abortion. She's either going to get an abortion, or will consider birthing the triplets if there is a legally-bound contract that someone responsible can raise the children for her.

So, are you willing to raise three triplets, or at least help find a a suitable foster parent, or let her get the abortion? Those are your only options. If you're unwilling to help her, then STFU and stay out of her business.

For the record, this GAG user did say he'd raise the children. So I can respect his argument more than most on the pro-life side. @Stoner710 said something kind of similar.
