vicky	If you are still able to have a baby, why not just have one? But some people like adopting because you do not need to go through the pain of pregnancy, or anything like sagging or gaining weight. It's really a personal preference, depending on what you want and what you are willing to do. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Marie C	I think people should be able to choose how they form their families. If people wish to have biological children, that's fine. If they prefer to adopt, that's great, too. Some families do both! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

BabeDoll	Personally, I would adopt because why put another child into this world when there are so many out there that do need a good loving home. If I still wanted a biological child, sure, I'd have one, but I would also love to adopt as well. Kind of the whole Angelina Jolie theory maybe? Haha... but I wouldn't want that many! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

kja63	Personal preference. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

megr_b	I am all for adopting! I want to adopt older children. I will be adopting for various reasons, but the main one is that I want to turn around a kid's life, and by the time they have lived in foster homes/orghanages for 8-10 years, they have pretty much given up on getting adopted. I think that is so sad... I want to change their mindset. Of course, to me honest, there are also more selfish reasons for adopting including: 1.) body/vagina will stay in shape 2.) able to choose sex of baby (i don't want to get stuck with three boys!!) 3.) i know i will be getting a healthy baby... because you just never know when a mutiation in your genes could cause a lifetime of suffering. 4.) I refuse to take time off to have kids. 5.) ...I'm sure there are a lot more, but I cannot think of them right now. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

frameliner	That it is a wonderful thing. My best friend dealt with infertility for years, ectopic pregnancies, hormone treatments...on and on. They adopted thier daughter, and you would swear that she is their biological kid. Whether to keep your figure, or you have that much love...as long as you know that that baby is YOURS, bless you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Debra P	I can't think of any good reason not to adopt! I adopted my one and only beautiful daughter, Olivia, just over 3 years ago. I couldn't be happier or love her any more had she been born to me. She is the joy of my life. There are so many children in need of loving homes. If I were to have any more children, they would be adopted. Not flesh of my flesh Or bone of my bone Still, miraculously my own Never forget Not for a minute You weren't born under my heart But in it Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

NNY	I would think i would rather have my own children. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

SKYE	i always wanted to adopt. i think that it is usch a gift to be able to help another child that is in need. i personally just had a baby but we are considering adopting our second in a couple years. it is an expensive process but its definitely a great think to do for someone else. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

faith	I think it is a wonderful thing. But everyone wants a perfect newborn. Those are harder to come by. But there are tons of deserving children who are a little older, or some with problems. Either way, it is a good thing. Some people do both, adopt and have their own biological children. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Pits4Me	There are so many children in this world who need a home and parents that are going to love them no matter what. I think adoption is a great option. LOL that rhymed. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

KAREN P	I think it is truely beautiful how open to adoption the people who responded to your question are. It is true it doesn't make any difference if your children are adopted or your own natural children. We all have seen an awesome family that may have one troubled child of there own. This can happen to your own or an adopted child as well. I have been a foster parent and I have both natural children and one adopted child. Our child was in our home as a foster baby before we adopted her. Even thought we were told that she may have mental problems at some point; we were devoted and happy to rescue her from a less that perfect situation. The years have been very challenging and rewarding as well. Nothing is perfect in this world but if you are determined to adopt I would suggest that you do it. I thank God that we were there for our child and have brought more joy and love to her than she ever would have know otherwise. Thank you for asking your question. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

REBMA R	I think it is wonderful if the person adopting is satisfied with that. I always wanted my own child and would not have been happy without having a baby but I think anyone who can do this is great and is doing a great thing for a child that they will adopt. It is all about personal feelings toward this!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

4Real	I think either is a great way to go, only if you will fully love either child, and provide a good home. Personally, giving birth to my daughter was one the best experiences in my life, and I wish all could have that experience. But I also think its great to adopt and take in all of these poor unwanted children, its too bad more people couldn't use protection rather than making a mistake of getting pregnant then having to give away their child. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

China	I think its great cause there's alot of kids that need a home.Why have your own when you can get one with out the pain of having one. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ChaseD	I think it's great because there are so many children out there who need families. Blood (or genetics) is not what makes a family... love is. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Dalice Nelson	Honestly? I think it's beautiful. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Stephanie A	I think it is a good way to give love to a child that does not have anyone and you are a good person for wanting to do it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

j	There are so many children who need to be adopted. I think it is great for people to consider this option. Please keep in mind, though, that many children who are waiting to be adopted need more patience and care in order to establish good attachment. They usually have been through a lot in their short lives. If you are willing to put in the effort though, the benefits will be great both to you and the child. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

agarovoy	I think it's a win-win situation. These kids need families. There are too many people in the world anyways. Overpopulation is a huge problem that people don't pay attention to and it's disgusting how it really is going to ruin everything. Adopting a child is one of the best things that people can do to save our planet. (That's deep, I know, but very true). Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

?	it's a wonderful thing to do, and very much a personal decision. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Got00	I believe to adopt is a selfless act something most humans are unable to comprehend. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
