Yes / No

notyochic	yes i would! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tracey d	yes i would as there are loads of babies and older ones that need a mum and dad,id be the same as you though it would have to be a new born then you can bond with it straight away and it with you Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lovemy_3_babies	yess forsure! 100% Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

BPD Wife	Absolutely. And we did. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Doodlestuff	I would and in fact, may do so if my medical problems are not resolved. I would be adopting from the former USSR as I'm already known to the specific orphanage. I'd be willing to take a child as old as 3. I'm concerned that an older child would not transition as well due to language barrier. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

\Nico/	I would never push myself to conceive, and I don't believe in stupid methods to try to. I would definitely adopt. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Adoptionissadnsick	Never. If I couldn't concieve, I'd accept it with grace and find others ways to nurture others. I'd never want to be the one to take a newborn away from his mother. I shudder to think of doing so, separating mothers and babies is evil. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

spike	I would, I think it's a great thing to welcome a homeless child into your home. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Possum	No. I'd perhaps foster kids - help kids that really need the help. I've lived adopted for 38 years - and I'd never take part in separating another child from their bio family. I know how much that hurts. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Crucio	I hope to even if I can one day have a bio child. I wouldn’t necessarily have to have a new born though. I’d have no problem adopting an older child. The age might depend on how old I was at that time. I know some places require the adoptive parents to be so many years older. If it was in the next 10 years I’d probably go for a newborn to 4 ½ year old. In fact I might even consider adopting a small siblings group with the oldest child preferable no older then 7 or 8. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

maxi-mum	I would have in a heartbeat although I was fortunate to have my own. My daughter has fertility problems though and she has discussed adoption...if she did the baby would be as loved by us all as if it were her own flesh and blood. It wouldn't have to be a new born or 'perfect' either...just a child who wanted a home. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kika	Absolutely, without question. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

MikeyG	Of course!!! Look, it's supposed to be about what is best for the child, right? So whether you are able to conceive or not is insignificant. As for me, there is no freakin' way I could deny any child the chance to have a loving family and a place to call home. I'm saddened by many of the responses from people who are completely unwilling to raise a child that they didn't bring into the world themselves - it’s as if they have no capacity to love unless they have to.... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

laura E	I would definitly adopt. Just think of all the children that really need homes. You could be a great person and give them a good life. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Tmarie99	Yes. I would adopt an older child. A baby would be ok, too, but I wouldn't refuse and older child. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

magoojess	For sure! I am adopted myself and although I have just made contact with my biological Father I couldn't have wished more than to be placed with my Dad. He brought me up, taught me manners and respect and I feel genuinely lucky to have had such a love. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Rolyn R	No, I don't want children. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

coco	yes, I really want to have kids/family, and these children need parents...so if I couldn't concieve, I guess I would feel it was meant to be that that child would end up with us as its parents. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ashj_1218	Absolutely! There was speculation before I got pregnant of whether I could become pregnant or not...I had not had a consistant period in the past two years and for seven years before that, I had none at all (even though I had gotten it for several years as a teenager). I would have definately adopted or done foster care, had I not been able to have my own. I might still do so. It is something that really interests me. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Sambo	Definitely. I was adopted. It went through when I was four but I was in the family from the age of about 2. I know how it feels to know that that is where I came from and I would have real experiences to share with my new son / daughter. Although, part of me, being in that situation, would love to have my own family, my own identity. But why not help those who can't help themselves! And why a newborn? You could be on the list forever! If you have the love to give, why not an older child? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

sam	Yes i would. In fact when my own children get a little bit older, this is something which i would like to do anyway. I would like to open my heart and home to a child between the ages of 2-6years ideally, but would not rule out ANY age. Lillie - I don't really understand what you are trying to say? How can it NOT be about the adult who wants to adopt? What do you think would happen if these adults did not want to. It would not matter one bit about the needs of the child then. Nobody would want it, not its mother, father, immediate family it would grow up being shunted around from 1 foster carer to another or in a care home! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

BUTTERFLY FAIRY	YES I WILL ADOPT, BUT NOT A NEWBORN. MAYBE 6 OR 7 YRS OLD. I HAVE A 10 YR OLD AND I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ANOTHER CHILD AT HOME CLOSER TO HIS AGE Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Stryker	i did.It is such a joy Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

MUSH	Yep but I would take an older child aswell there's so many that get thrown away!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

red&sassy	Yes, an older child, that is in foster care. Adopting babies is quickly becoming a thing of the past. In the future, I believe that people will not want to be associated with the stigma of getting a baby through coercion. I believe that any agency, doctor, nurse, social worker, pastor, or lawyer that in any way, shape, or form approaches a pregnant woman and even broaches the subject of adoption will suffer serious consequences legally and finacially. I believe that adoption as it is practiced in our country today,will become a thing of the past. One day, our children will read about it in horror and disbelief. I believe that with all the information coming out about how detrimental separating a baby from it's mother is, that it will become "politically incorrect". I believe the pressure is mounting to the point where foster care will be the only place one can go to get a child and there may be some babies. I think that the screening process for the AP's will become more stringent and their mental health will be paramount in deciding if they are eligible, as opposed to the size of their purse. I would like to see children matched to parents based on personalities, not age. When the agency calls, you either take the match they've made, be it a baby, toddler, or teenager and if you pass, then that's it. I think older children need to have first consideration for placement. I believe we will see over time that mothers giving their newborn babies will no longer have to happen because they're going through hard times. Now, if there's any type of abuse, yes, take the baby. We are headed towards a new age where we actually consider the best interest of the child, which will include that the first families are not a secret and in all cases except abuse, they will remain part of the child's life.

hawkins	I myself am adopted and if i couldnt have children then yes i would go down that route. Would it have to be a newborn, no i can see why people would want a newborn i was handed over to my parents when i was 6 weeks old, My mother left me at the hospital straight away and i was looked after by nurses till i could be given to my parents. I am lucky i had a fab upbringing do i think of my naturel parents, no i dont, which is where i feel it differs when the child is older. I would consider an older child though for sure. Sarah Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

I love my babies	If I wouldn't have the three that I have now I would absolutely adopt. My husband and I are actually thinking that it would be nice to adopt anyway. We want to give another child a chance to have a good family and brothers and sisters. We wouldn't necessarily want a newborn, we would like to adopt an older child maybe around the age of four or five. Besides they need family too! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

LaurieDB	I cannot conceive. It was heartbreaking when I realized that I was never going to be pregnant and have a child. I had to really work through that one. I considered adopting. It would have been a foster-adoption. I actually never even considered adopting any other way. I was adopted from foster care. I was a ward of the state so unless I'd been adopted I would have had no family. I didn't end up adopting a child, as my husband and I divorced. I did not want to be a single parent. I remarried at 36 and am now 43. My husband and I are both beyond the ages at which we feel comfortable with it now. He has 2 children (grown) from his first marriage and I have a good relationship with my stepsons. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mommyto3rugrats	I would adopt, However, I dont believe I would require it to be a newborn. There are more children that need adopted other than just newborns. Plus, I could skip the wake up every 2-3hrs the first few months! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

FauxClaud	Nope, absolutly never ever ever in a million years would I participate in separating a child from thier family of origin. If i could not concieve, I would just accept the hand delt to me and adapt. Just because I want a child would not mean that I was entitled to have one. I could never contribute to the pain and grief from separation. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
