    My older sister was adopted the day she was born. We may not be biologically related, but she’s still my sister no matter what and I love her!

    Once I am financially able and have traveled a bit, I want to adopt older kids out of foster care. This is such a beautiful story.

    Much respect and admiration for couples who adopt. Considering there are thousands of children IN THE U.S. AND CANADA NOW who want loving homes, I will never understand this "need to breed." Why get pregnant when you can give love to a child now living?

      Do you know how much it cost to adopt and how long the process takes? It can cost up to 30k-50k just to adopt a child and the process can take 2-5 years. If it was cheaper and the process was a lot shorter people would adopt more. I knew a lot of people who turned away from adoption because it was too time consuming and didn't make sense financially.

      Maybe people want to have kids with their DNA in them? Do you know the feeling of having a child with yours and your love’s blood in it, mixed perfectly? That can’t be replaced by anything. Also carrying a baby in your tummy is an amazing experience.

    • @pettifoggingpharisee

      @@anyaseidel easy now. That's a bit uncalled for. Technically concieving a child or adopting one is in itself a selfish act as it is derived from a want to have a child. Adoption is not for everyone and it doesn't take away the pain of not being able to concieve a child for those who can't do so. Where it really matters is that a child born into a family is given the love and care so that child will never know the pain of ever being unwanted.
      For those of us who can't concieve, we have an opportunity to make a difference in another human being that will last a lifetime.

      I'm a year late and I'm not sure if you're in the USA. But have you considered foster to adopt? Private adoptions are expensive, but there are resources and programs available to licensed foster parents.
      The main drawback is it can be a lengthy process. Also, termination of parental rights is not immediate which means priority is always focused on re-unification. You could potentially have quite a bit of kids coming into and leaving your care before adoption is on the table. But, you will impact these kids for a lifetime.
