Would you ever adopt a child?

WillyH19 · November 2013

Absolutely! H and I talk about adopting all the time. We are seriously considering one bio child and at least one adopted.

ramstein1027 · November 2013

Yes! So many children need good homes. I'd love to adopt as well as have our own biological kids.

consciousdear88 · November 2013

Absolutely! We've already decided that if for some reason I was unable to have kids, adopting would be the next option.

This.

Yes, we talk about it often. We will definitely adopt if I am unable to have a bio child.

aro1589 · November 2013

Absolutely! If we can't have bio kids, we would definitely adopt. Even if we can have bio kids, I wouldn't be opposed to adopting a child too.

goatlady12 · November 2013

Absolutely! If DH and I can't have them we'll definitely go this route.

My sister is in the process right now of adopting. She has and almost 4 year old that took her forever to get, she's had several miscarriages since her daughter and just doesn't have it in her to keep losing babies. So they are going to adopt for baby #2! I'm really excited for her.

MrsH1027 · November 2013

Yes! At a young age, I even thought I would probably adopt even if I could have my own biological children. So many children need good homes, and I know I could love any child the same whether they were my biological child or not. I have a SD and I know with every ounce of me that I will not love a biological child more than I already love her.

brainybrunette · November 2013

I agree with PPs. If DH and I couldn't have biological children, we would definitely consider adoption.

DanaOcNy · November 2013

Absolutely! We have also discussed becoming foster parents at some point in the future after we have children.

LDubHawksFan · November 2013

Absolutely! If we can't have kids then I'm sure we will go down that road. I've actually thought a lot about fostering down the line too. Probably not when our kids are really young and we are learning how to be parents ourselves! Ha. After volunteering with CASA, it breaks my heart to know there are so many kids (most adolescents and teens) out there without a home and that are deemed "unadoptable" by the system.

snuff9861 · November 2013

I love the idea of adoption. However, H isn't really on board with adoption. I think if we had to seriously consider it as a possibility he may be more open to it.

islandmonkey8 · November 2013

I don't know. DH and I have always said yes but the emotional toll TTC is having on us, we don't know. Maybe.

xxjen015 · November 2013

If we couldn't conceive, absolutely. I have said I want one of each bad enough that if I end up with two of one gender, we'd adopt a 3rd of the opposite...I want both, but I desperately want a little girl, so it'd be more likely if we had 2 boys. I know too many people with 3 boys that I would want to continue with a 3rd bio.

sjs1013 · November 2013

Yes, but after we had at least 1 biological child. There's a girl in my class now that I would kill to take. She is wonderful and no one at home cares about her

I sat in a meeting where my principal was asking the father about the girl's personality traits. He was getting them all wrong and I just wanted to answer, "you're wrong!" for all of his responses.

ramstein1027 · November 2013

@sjs1013 That's so sad. My cousin who teaches 4th grade at one of the city schools has so many kids in that boat. One kid's parent sent a note explaining she didn't get her homework done because they were busy buying new clothes for school....Drrrrrr. The kid is dressed to the nines every day but is basically failing the 4th grade. 8-|
