I would want to adopt kids but i will also love to have my own.
I think it's the best thing in the world to provide another child with the blessings that my children will recieve.
No child deserves to suffer.

It's a wonderful thing to help put smiles on the faces of the needy especially children. If one has the time and resources, It won't be a bad idea to adopt a child or two.
I have always wanted to adopt kids to care for apart from my own, but it might not really work that way anymore. Although, I won't hesitate to assit any helpless child that comes my way.

little children in 3rd world countries are suffering while their parents are dying from HIV. Take a look at "FEED THE CHILDREN". You might change your mind. |

I'll love to adopt kids, but it's not just my choice alone.
Y'all need to understand that decisions in marriage needs to be made b/w husband/wife.
So maybe your hubby might want only his own kids or your wife might not want the burden of adopting kids not her own when she still got fresh eggs

Good! I hope you find a man ready to take the kids as his full responsibility. Because good men nowadays are hard to come by I love to make my own decision.
I'm sorry if this sounds offensive, but how old are you? "I love to make my own decisions". . .that does not work all the time in a marriage. You might even have to change your schedule for your kids just because your husband goes to work the time you're at work. Be ready to have 3 kids if you want 5 kids, just because your husband might want 2 kid. If you want to get married, adjust to the system of the "relenting" wife |

u don't have to go all the way to kenya, there are over a million homeless kids in nigeria and about 3 million of children of school age walkin on d streets
charity begins home. and also it is advisable u follow mesmeriza's advise.
It's a different thing adopting a child to escape poverty, but y adopt one that cannot expirience the joy of a family?
put off adoption for now, when u get into a serious rel, talk 2 ur hubby about it. if u feel passionate about it, he will consent.

I don't mind to adopt, I thot about it and might likely do it, whether i have children or not. But i must make sure i'm financially strong so as to give the adopted kid or children a comfortable life.

I am praying that God will send me a man that will accept my decision. My boyfriend right about now love kids but i don't think he wants to adopt. I hope i will change his mind or is " Hit the Road Jack and don't you come back no more". I love to be independent. I hope God will send me a man that will accept my independent decision or if not i will just stick to dating. |

As long as you know that your boyfriend is on the right path of his goals. Not one of those, "I feel like dropping out" kids. Becuz if you want a home of 12 kids, darling, you'll need financial help and support. As you can tell, things are not as easy as it used to be when we were 5 or 6. LOL! That's what I meant, you might want to adopt kids, but if your husband is not into it, I'll suggest you have your own biological children I love to be independent. I hope God will send me a man that will accept my independent decision or if not i will just stick to dating.
Amen! And I hope you're woman enough to take his independent decision. Such as him not wanting to adopt kids or listen to any of your decisions. I am not that older than you to be "lecturing" you, but I do know what am talking about and just giving my 2 cents  |

I already set all my goals and his decisions is not going to change it. |

Me like the spirit! me likey! Then hon, be ready to change your schedule o, delete or cross his name out, if it wnt work out just because of some misunderstandings!

Be ready to feel the same way from him. He is a good person but if my goals and his goals don't match then if we get marry it is not going to workout.

me likey this spirit very much! Let no man change your goals, and try not to change his goals if he's going the right path! That's one of the biggest mistake ever! trying to change a man! If he wnt change for you before you marry him, he wnt change for you after you marry him. So if he doesn't want adoption now, he probably wnt later on! Thread wisely |

It seems like it's the ladies leading the way on this 'adoption' thread. Guys have completely faded out. Well I would love to adopt a kid or two in future and give life to whom it has been denied.I hope that I create a 'circle of friends around this idea'. It will be a dream come true for me. |

Adoption is one of the things I'll have to discuss with my partner when we're courting. If he can't buy the idea then bless his ass.

u know i was really thrilled when i read the topic. used to think am the only one that wants to do that. well i want to have 4kids of my own and two adopted though nigerian kids. but the truth is that it all still depend on how the man sees it. i've actually questioned some of my male friends on that and i found out it's only one of them that share the dream with me so u see it wont be easy with the spouse to agree to it. u know what? i always pray that whoever it becomes will share the same dream with me,"" to give those orphans the priviledge of knowing what it feels like to have a real home""
