If my fiance ever decided he wanted to adopt, I would.  He was adopted.

I've thought about it....once I'm married of course.  It's expensive, but you're helping a child in need.  Over population, risks of childbirth.....making a difference...thoughts like these come to mind.

No.  I don't want kids natural or adopted.

If I couldn't have children naturally with someone then yes I would consider adopting. I have a number of family members and a couple friends who have approached this direction already.

I would, but not right now.  We're not in a financial position to be approved anyway, so kids of any kind have to wait a few years.

Yes I would b/c every child needs a home.  But most people only adopt babies or very small children and the ones that are a little older gets left behind as though they were not worthy or something.  If I could I would adopt several of them.  I don't think it should matter whether or not you can or can't have children of own.  There are so many children out there that needs a home that are over the age of 7 that rarely get looked at to see if they could have a home.  They are usually sent from group home to home until they hit 18.  Very sad thing.  My neighbor is a foster/adoptive parents they have 9 plus one of there own.  Think about it when you decide to foster a child your able to visit with them to get to know them and if things don't work out then they go back.  My neighbor had one teen that they couldn't keep due to major problems that they couldn't help him with so he is one that went back but it hurt them so bad to have to do it but had to for saftey of other children.  All needs love!!     :cat:

I have children, however, my husband & I discuss adopting another child. We probably would have already, but the lawyers in the US are so darn greedy & ask for an arm & leg for paperwork.

If I could afford and knew I'd have the patience for more children then yes I would consider it.

I would love to adopt kids.  I lost all 3 of my kids, one to drunk driver and 2 to cancer.

I would love to adopt maybe siblings, because they should not be separated.  I always want a bigger family, I only have three kids.    One day I will love to be a parent to more kids.
