How Many of You Legitimately Want To Adopt Kids?

Its been a dream of mine for awhile

 

I wouldn't mind adopting whether I fall in love with a man or a woman. They'd still be my kid no matter what.

 

If the kid I am adopting it's past baby stage, I am fine... lol

 

I know i would not be a good father because I would only use the kid as a benchmark to see how well I could raise a child to my standards. So it is a good thing I do not want kids because I do not feel i would be a good parent.

 

I'd love to adopt a cute little boy one day when my future partner and I settle down. :love: I'm pretty sure I'd make an awesome Dad.

Surrogacy was never appealing to me.

 

The whole question of 'Can I be a good parent?' aside, I would certainly be open to adoption. However, it isn't my preference, which makes me feel like a bad person.

 

I don't think raising a kid is for me, but who knows, ask me in 10 years and I could probably say yes.

 

I have a double feeling where I both want biological kids and I also want to alleviate the problem of unwanted children. But there are more complications. I also have always felt (at least before EC) I should marry interracially if possible just to stick it to my racist parents. And since like 80% of the women in science, and those I would therefore meet, are Asian (let's be honest, I don't want to seem racist, but it's true), I figured I didn't need to adopt. But now I can't have biological kids (well, I can, but you know…), so I'm back to square one.
Don't make fun of my lack of cogency when you read this.

 

I could end up with either sex so I guess having biological children the more common way is not off the table for me. Even before I knew I was attracted to the same sex, I always wanted to adopt a child from foster care. Regardless to if I end up with a male or female, I want to adopt at least one child. I've always wanted (and still want) both biological and adopted children

 

Nope. As I quest, I'd like to make contributions to the world, but none of those involve having children.

 

So far, I have proven that I would be a horrible, horrible parent.
If I can change that, though, I'd like to adopt a kid. The world already has enough people as it is, so I don't really see why I should add to that.

 

I've never been bothered in the slightest about having kids, but I've always, even before I started to think I might not be straight, thought I'd prefer to adopt. There's too many people in the world already so I dont want to make the situation worse. I'd feel extremely guilty and selfish for creating a new person just for myself as they never asked me. There's too much potential pain and suffering in the world so I don't want to inflict that on somebody else, and if there's one lesson from history it's that civilizations don't last forever, and if I don't leave any descendents I don't hold any blame. That's the (possibly depressing) way I see it anyway. But by adopting I'd be helping to solve a problem.

But I still don't have any desire whatsoever for children.

 

I don't know how I feel about having kids if I happen to end up with a guy. Depends on what he thinks I guess. Adopting a child... I really don't know.

 

Even if I end up with a man or woman, I plan on adopting a child. I would also like to have one of my own, but giving unwanted children a good home is more important to me.

 

Ever since I was in 4th grade, I've wanted to adopt a child. I don't know but something about giving a child a home just sounds amazing. I mean I would get married first but I would totally adopt.

 

I'm not sure if I want children. But if I did I'd adopt an orphan instead of some sort of surrogate arrangement.

 

i think not having kids has made me a popular uncle .but yea i would love to adopt .

 

I'm pretty sure I don't want to have kids. If I did, I'd much prefer having them myself. My mother died when I was a toddler, so I think that connection with a child would be really important to me.

 

I'd like to adopt one or more kids.
