Question Would you consider adopting?

If a newborn baby is offered to you for adoption, would you consider adopting? If the mother is single, and she has no way of giving the baby a "better life" would you accept it?

Oh maybe your life will change if you accepted that baby. I've seen a celebrity here who adopted a baby girl which was left in the front of her house. And that baby give her more job offers like more commercials and tv appearances.

When a friend of mine had turned 16, her mother had shared that she was not her biological mother - someone had rang the doorbell, and when she answered the door, there was that baby girl left on the doorstep. She took her and raised her. Now my friend is a very talented writer. She loves the mother who raised her and does not care that she is not her "real" daughter.

i would definitely consider adopting a baby if i am capable of raising her and supporting her not only financially but also emotionally. i have been an adopted child myself, and i saw it as an opportunity that was given to me to have a better life --- i was brought up quite well, with a good education and a loving and supportive family. so i think that adoption is a good option rather than opting for an abortion which is a sin.

I would love to adopt a child. My husband says he doesn't want to adopt, but if a baby was offered to us, I think he would take it in a heartbeat. He's a big softie when it comes to babies!

Certainly, I would adopt the child. I would be happy to share the blessings that I have received. If it is a way of helping the mother then, I would do it. Or else, I could adopt them both. What do you think?

If I couldn't have any kids through natural conception and I really wanted to have a child, I would certainly consider it - but it would depend on the parents' background. Otherwise, I don't think I would be able to...

I would consider adoption is i was unable to have a baby myself (i.e. health reasons). It wouldn't matter to me who the baby was or what the background would be, as a baby is a baby unknown of anything. It would be like what you teach it.

I would adopt the child. Even if I have kids, I wouldn't hesitate to have another one through adopting. If that could help the mother then, why should I decline? A baby is a blessing and they deserve to live.

I can't picture myself ever having a child. I think the only way I would have one would be if it were adopted. I've seen a few births and it's not pretty. It grossed me out pretty bad. But, who knows, I'm only 20.

I just think it's better to save people who are already on this earth than create new ones. I feel bad for the kids who need homes! I would love to be the one to give them the life they deserve!!

Hi!
Here, you are right. Its a noble act to adopt a child.Why people want their own child? They should understand the need of hour. Its a good solution to have a control over increasing population.Isn't it?

Although adopting is a noble act to do, but people want their own child, because its their own, a part of them!

I dont know whether I would be able to take up adoption or not, as it would take a lot of guts and courage, especially taking into consideration that I would like to have kids of my own in future. I wouldn't want to adopt a child then when having my own, make the adopted one feel left out one way or the other.

Yes! this feeling is obvious.I appreciate that you don't want to differentiate between the two.Taking care of the child is full of responsibility.

If i could have a baby of my own i wont consider adopting because i would want to raise my own kids... Adopting a child calls for a lot of responsibility and courage.. I dont think i could live up to that when i have my own..
