"I'm also not a very family oriented person in the sense of creating familial bonds and deeply cherishing them".....You are not family oriented and you still want to raise a child not biologically yours?

In a system where social service truly works and scrutiny is properly done......you will not qualify to adopt a child because you don't have the capacity to, outside money.
I was about to respond when I saw your comment. He is not family oriented yet he wants to bring up a child with that kind of mindset.

Nl folks, pls your opinions are needed.
I'm currently 31, earning reasonably well and with greater prospects for the future.

The pressure to settle down is getting stronger by the day. However, I don't consider myself psychically fit for marriage in the midst of the deterioration that the marriage Institution is experiencing.

Judging by my current perspective and disposition on the subject of marriage, I don't see myself setting down even in the next 5years. I try to carefully look at the pros and cons of contracting a marriage in today's world and I always come to the conclusion that there are more cons than pros.

I'm also not a very family oriented person in the sense of creating familial bonds and deeply cherishing them hence I derive my fulfillment and pleasure in doing the things I love to do, acquiring wealth and giving help wherever I deem necessary.

The thought of opting for an adoption is beginning to occupy the greater part of my consciousness and the reasons are few and in my opinion very valid.

1. Progeny is very important in social arrangements especially in the Igbo society. I'll definitely be needing someone to carry on the family's name and legacy when I'm no more.

2. If my perspective on marriage changes for any reason and I decide to take the step towards contracting one, I may have become a little too old then to handle the perculiates of marriage and family life( parenting, school runs issues etc). But with a child already in picture and almost a teenager by then, that part of the problem would have been kicked out..

Nb:As for raising the adopted child, myself, parents, siblings and a helper will be involved while financial responsibility will be exclusively mine.

Kindly help me with insightful and mature advice that is based on direct or third party experience.

If you're serious and need a surrogate, I can volunteer but not through direct sexual intercourse o. Through insemination and after thorough HIV and other STDs test. I'll carry your baby to full term for you and deliver with CS.

It is amazing what he's thinking of doing for the ego.

He's better off having a baby mama who would be oriented to having ties with a child. But his family seem to be ready to be the carers. 31 year old with worries about the marriage institution, yet he's never been married and has fed off social experiments and pernicious male ideologies until he's far removed from reality. Adopting would create an emotionally unbalanced person.

You are not family oriented and you want to adopt a child.

How do you intend doing that?⁰

Do not adopt any child, do you think adopting is about dropping money for school, clothes and food.

Be careful!

He will join the league of men who wonder why their children don't like them in their old age. And then he would blame his family for brainwashing them.

raising a child is a huge responsibility that should not be taken lightly. when i consider what is in bold font i think you are not ready for the responsibility. particularly towards a child that you actually have no connection with. in addition children in two parent homes fare better. a man who cannot handle a marriage is likely unable to raise a child.

In that case, you need to read up on the process of insemination and surrogacy. You are not breastfeeding any child. You will never be in the picture, in fact, the father can tell any story about you that will ensure that the child never ask about you. Especially with the world being a global village, the guy might japa to another country with "his" baby.

tbvh, all you will get is just the paper, which I feel won't even be much compared to the physical and emotional pain that comes with carrying a baby and giving birth through cs. That paper or money won't last you one year and it is gone for good. Critically think it through before you provide yourself for surrogacy

it is like donating blood for money. The amount of money paid to you will not be enough to replenish what you have lost

That’s not a good idea considering the fact that you’re still young (31). What becomes of the innocent adopted child in the next few years when you get a woman pregnant and have a child from your gene? Trust me, that gap (between the adopted child and ur biological child) will always be there.

You can only do that IF you know (sorry to say) you are proven to be impotent or if you re above 50.

In conclusion: do not rush yourself to adopting any child now. Wait for 1 to 3 years and get a baby mama (if you desperately want a child but not ready to settle down.
