It because people will tag you barren or impotent. Moreover, adoption is expensive in Nigeria. The NGOs lacked adequate supervision. So what happens there is actually selling of children 1 Like |

our way of life is different. Not many people are keen at introducing a 'blood' they know nothing about into a family. |

Because inherently in our African culture....It takes a village to raise a child....Why adopt something you already own? We need to remain true to our culture and not try to inherit a foreign culture that is alien to the fabric of our existence. 1 Like |

There is this tendency for Nigerian women no to treat children that aren't biologically theirs with love and equity. That fact that they would rather remain without a child than to adopt is no surprise. 2 Likes |

Nigerians prefer to go to the mountains for 1000 days and Nights to pray to the being they believe in just to have a child of their own rather than deceiving themselves taking care of children which deep within them, is not theirs. We too hate ourselves for Africa., that's why it is not common. simple!! 1 Like |

Stigma. Culture. These are some of the reasons why Child adoption is not done openly in Nigeria. People resort now to literally feigning pregnancy and adopting or buying kids (from baby factories) secretly to pass them on to the public as their biological own. As for the cultural aspect of this, people see having kids as investment. So adopting and raising someone's else kid ,when there is likelihood that the parents may claim back the kid sometime in the future doesn't look like a good investment to many. 1 Like 1 Share |

God gave woman womb to bring forth children and multiply. A woman somewhere is encouraging giving birth to 1 child and adopting 2-3 children from outside. Please, what happens to your womb after giving birth to 1 child? This issue is what most European and American people are passing through... low birth rate which leads to decreasing population. Who knows, tomorrow, you will come out and encourage Nigerians to stop giving birth but rather adopt dogs and cats as children (which is currently practised in most European countries). People should learn to accept the fact that, just as the world is divided into continents, so are the cultures and traditions different among us all. STOP TRYING TO PUSH AMERICAN CULTURE DOWN OUR THROAT. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

I have always wanted to have 1 or 2 kids and adopt. if you truly love children why not adopt especially when you can't have your own. i think most of the so called love people claim to have for children is selfish if not you would nurture many homeless children that need that love 5 Likes 1 Share |

Cos Some Nigerians are myopic and hypocrites when it comes to love. The narrative is : The baby won't like or love u as your biological child would. They also say; there's nothing like carrying your own child. Its crappy and lame excuses borne out of their hatreds for the next guy. Some Nigerians are very bitter and toxic. I see white women with black children here in my city. And they call this white woman, mama! As far as I'm concerned, children or babies doesn't know whether you are the biological parent or not. They will adopt you as theirs too if you love them and raise them. I have three adopted and one biological baby. I don't care what anybody says. They love me and I love them... PrimadonnaO: 7 Likes |

The way we do adoption in Nigeria is quite different from that of the westerners. Adoption is popular but is not documented. Parent will willingly give his / her child to relative without any document or agreement. 1 Like |
