yea i know...to be honest, i'd rather just adopt anyway, if i ever get that ticking clock thing....
anyway, those kids need homes just as bad. i wouldn't mind adopting a teenager or small kid. |

what's wrong with planned parenthood? i don't condone people abusing such resources, but i feel they are a necessary, even if sometimes evil, institution.
my ex and i had to use it once. lemme explain the situation so that i'm not an ass hehehe. its new years eve...we're romping around and the condom breaks. just to be safe we went to the clinic and she got the day after pill because we both no that is not a responsibility we can take on. is that not a situation which using such resources would be ok? we were trying to be responsible...but sometimes that isn't enough. |

nothing's wrong with Planned Parenthood, what's wrong is making people who don't believe in abortion pay for abortions |

Wouldn't you want to have an infant? I would think there would be more of a parent-child relationship developed between the two if the adopted parent was all that was known? Not as much chance for development if the child has already grown up a bit.. In my opinion it would be more of a 'guardian friend' kind of thing that developed in that case.. |

Haha, the ticking clock. :p ...:nervous:
Yes I most definitely agree... those kids need loving homes. I have a lot of experience with adoption, Ive seen so many kids that need families... 50,000+ children in Ohio ALONE are without permanent homes. :( I guess I dont know what else to say besides seriously consider it later on in life. |

Maybe if its a teenager that youre dealing with, but children younger than that need families and familial support. |

i wanna have my own kids. this might sound a little insensitive or mean, but i don't know if i would be able to love someone else's kid the same way as i would my own. i really don't know because i've never been in that position, but i think it would always be something in the back of my mind.
if it was an infant, i think that would be easier of course, but even if i met a woman who had a kid already...i dunno if i could really have that ultimate connection between father and son. i mean of course i could love and take care of the kid, but i just don't know if it would be MY kid ya know.
ok women...go on...tell me i'm horrible :( |

When you adopt a child, it becomes YOUR child. Especially infants. Blood doesnt make family. |

well i don't know...perhaps i just still have a young perspective on it, but that's how i kinda feel at the moment. |

you would be surprised at what i am capable of. i make a strong impression on people...especially kids..they are always drawn to me. i should probably do something w/ psychology and children, but too depressing and not enough money to put up w/ the stress. i will volunteer though when i have time...guardian ad litem is a cool program.
seriously though, kids are the last thing on my mind right now...if i ever decide to have one, it'll be when i'm in my mid 30's. i have a lot i want to accomplish before then. who knows if i'll want to have my own or adopt, or both, or neither:p
*see my answer to thread titled "one word to describe yourself"...yea i put "wishy-washy". |

What if you can't have children? Or what if your wife can't? |
