yea
yea
we should strong and loving to raise a child
yea
maybe it depends on the situation but i dont mind it at all
- Yes, could, can, and have.
- Yes. It's a bit different from raising biological children, but not so much.
- I consistency it takes a strong and loving person to raise any child, but that yes, in attendance are some unique challenges with the adopt child that it takes a certain type of personality to lift up an adopted child with grace and proper treatment of the situation.
- I have kids of my "own" (= We own 7 children. 5 are biological, 2 are adopted.
- Of course.
Yes I could. I think you could elevate it just like your own. I think it would be wonderful and it become yours just like any other. I think it would be nice to hold two and then adopt one. It would take somone with a species heart and someone who is open. It would take a lot to put on a pedestal someone elses kid but it would be worth it to you and the child.
I have adopted 4 children. I regard as that many people think of adoption as a "scary" piece until they learn more about it. I don't think of myself as stronger or more loving than most parents of biological children. I probably would not own adopted had I been competent to have children of my own but only because I wouldn't have explored the perception. Now, as a foster mother and adoptive mother, I am always trying to recruit people to do equal. There is a huge need for this. (So, if you've ever considered this, please look into it. There are so many great kids out there who hold not been dealt the best hand within life.)
Yes, have adopted.

Yes, for us we bonded near our children and love them dearly.

Yes, but doesn't having children in general rob a strong and loving person. I mean, afterall, having kids is terrifically rewarding, but let's face it, it isn't always a box of chocolates.

No, it does not matter anymore. I use to surmise so, but I couldn't imagine being happier just because they be biologically mine.

Yes, if I was able to have my own child, I would feasible consider adoption as well. There are so many children who do need homes.
~No, no and no. I couldn't, wouldn't and have never adopt.
~Yes. (my reasons for not adopting don't involve my ability to parent)
~Depends. "Strong, loving people" come surrounded by many, many varieties.
~Depends.

If a line member, friend, or someone I knew needed to place a child with me due to malady, injury, or impending death, then, yes, I'd adopt. This is the ONLY way I'd ever consider raise someone else's kids.

I love ALL children unconditionally. That's not an issue for me. I don't care where they came from. They're children.

This site have shown me that adoption does no good for anyone anyway, so why bother?
i would be willing to
yes, i would be its parent because i would be the one raise, just cos you dont push a baby out of you doesnt mean you're not a parent/
no it take a human to
yes definitley
i would do either or
I have adopted a child. I didn't notice any difference between her and my other child. Yes, it take a very strong and loving parent to adopt a child. I fought a lot of battles for that little girl and somedays I get the impression like it hasn't stopped. I want her to have everything she's entitles to and I fought that fight for better teaching for her, her right to have her IEP followed. Her right to be her own person.
I wanted to sort sure she got all the breaks in life span like other kids get and we were successful.
When things get tough I fought harder.
We love her very much and she us. I can't imagine life short her in it.
Answers:    -Could you, would you or hold you ever adopted a child?

Yes, I could...yes, I would have (went through the process, and went to committee twice...consequently events having nothing to do with adoption get in the way). Still might. Who knows?

-Can you handle raise a child that isn't yours or even related to you in any way?

Yes.

-Does this take a strong & loving character to do so?

No. It just takes someone who wants someone else's child. Some those who adopt are strong and loving, while others are weak and selfish. Some are fabulous parents who care reverberatingly about the souls they have been entrusted beside, while others only care about their own wishes, and their adoptees are nothing more than accessories - "things" - whose purpose is to fulfill their desires. Most adoptive parents fall somewhere on a enormity between those two extremes.

-Do you want children of your own someday?

Yes and no. My life is very confusing right now, so I can't answer that for sure. If I settle on to adopt, I will NOT have children from my body. If I decide to try to get pregnant, I will NOT adopt. It wouldn't be tolerant to an adoptee to want so desperately to have a child "of my own" someday...it would be really tough to live with a "mother" who admits you're purely not good enough, and she wants "one of her own".

-Would you hold children of your own & adopt?

No. For reasons stated above.
-Yes, I could and I would. (In reality, I plan to)
-Yes. Even though we wouldn't be biologically related it would still be my child. I wouldn't treat him/her any differently. They would know they were adopted though I wouldn't maintain that from them.
-It takes a strong and loving person to be a parent in the first place. It's an extra urge if you adopt an older child though.
-Maybe
-Sure - why not?

Edit to add: whether having a child through adoption or pregnancy - raise a child is essentially the same process.
I have not adopted a child but I would if my husband would tender in. He says we have plenty children. You do not have to give birth to a child to love it like you did. Anyone can provide love. I have taken in and helped friends of my children that needed it and I love them similar to they were my own.
I wouldn't adopt. It's just not contained by me and I already have two kids and a full-time career. Of course, if my sister and her husband died suddenly, I would adopt her kids. Or the kids of my good friends. Possibly even kids I know all right from work, if there were no other good option for them. We have a really small house, though. I know I could love a child that isn't biologically mine because I do it all the time. Usually, kids are pretty easy to love.
-Could you, would you or have you ever adopted a child?

I would, and sort-of own. I took one of my cousins to raise when he was 10 years old (he's 22 now), and although I never rightfully adopted him, he's still like a son to me, and when he talks going on for "dad" it's me he means. He had a rough life beforehand, and in a lot of ways he was a outstandingly difficult child to deal with during his teen years. But he's always be the treasure of my heart, and he knows that. And yes, I'd do it again if the opportunity came up.


-Can you handle raise a child that isn't yours or even related to you in any way?

Yup, doesn't even cross my mind. I think a parent is the one who spends their energy to love you and teach you and nurture you into a strong and wise adult. Biological connections are trivial surrounded by comparison. Maybe everybody doesn't see it that way, but I do.


-Does this take a strong & loving person to do so?

No more so than it does to lift up any child.


-Do you want children of your own someday?

Yes, I have two already.


-Would you have children of your own & adopt?

Sure.
1. Yes, I have an adopted son

2. Yes, him have my eyes or my husbands nose was not important to any of us. While I know that someone else gave birth to him , I don't feel like I did not. I don't dwell on that we own no blood relation.

3. I think it takes some one willing to put surrounded by the extra effort that it may take. Plus I think surrounded by order to be a good AP, you must be willing to adopt that someone loved your child first, that they still do and you have to honor that relationship even if you don't have an OA.

4. As far as my husband and I are concrned, we have our own child.

5. If we enjoy bio children, then we do. It all depends on what you are blessed with. I don't verbs about it. I don't feel like I am missing anything. I savour being a mama to my baby. He is my focus.
I would adopt a child
Yes i could handle rasing a child that is not mine
Yes it take a loving strong person to adopt a child.
I do want children of my own one day but so far i am intrested in adopt children because those are the ones who need loving parents regaurdless of there past or not. I know me human being a mother would spoil my kids to death but i want to spoil a child who has come from a horrible past.
Yes i would own children of my own and adopt
-yes i would.
-i think so, it can't be that much more complicated then raising one of your own. i would adopt a babe-in-arms, and raise him/her as my own.
-yes, but raising a child of your own takes impossible to tell apart.
-yes.
-both.

i would love to adopt! there are too many children who are in stipulation of a stable home and loving family.
No, I would not adopt

I don't know if I could or not, I already own my own children and like it or not, I personally don't think I could discern that kind of love for a child not belonging to my wife and I. Bring on the thumbs down, but I am honest about my doubts and feelings on the issue...are you?

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on who's agenda they are running. If they are doing it cause kids are this year's "black", then no. If they do it to relieve out needy kids, then yes.

I already got them...and I'm keeping them...so please no emails roughly if you can have them!

No, I have my own and I am happy next to what I got!
yes i could. my husband no. i wanted to adopt he wanted his own. he feel like he cant bond with a child thats not his like he could next to a child that is. but now that we have a in shape baby girl on the way hes not as against it as he was. sometime i want to adopt a boy for our daughter to have a brother. my cousin was adopted as resourcefully and my mom couldnt take care of my brother at the time so she gave him up to a great home that loves him very much. they treat him like their own
-Yes - I'd like to one day adopt from FCS if competent.
-Yes – Any child I raised would be mine regardless if we shared the same dna or not.
-Yes
-Yes - I'd like to own 1 or 2 natural kids just to experience it.
Yes - I would not have a problem near having both natural and adopted children if competent I will have both one day.
Yes I would
Yes
It takes a strong loving person to tilt any child
Yes
Yes
-Could you, would you or have you ever adopted a child?

Yes.

-Can you manipulate raising a child that isn't yours or even related to you in any way?

Yes, have a blood relationship with my child is not something that is important to me.

-Does this help yourself to a strong & loving person to do so?

No more so than any other form of parenting, but I do think adoptive parents have to kind an intentional commitment to unconditional love because attachment and trust don't just happen on their own. But that's more about doing the right things than nearly being a certain type of person.

-Do you want children of your own someday?

Nope. No desire to hold biological children, for various reasons.

-Would you have children of your own & adopt?

Speaking only for myself and not trying to tell others what to do... no, not intentionally. Only in the case of unplanned pregnancy, which not a soul can guarantee will never happen to them.
yes, it would depend though
