If you can't afford 10-40k to adopt a child how do you expect to put your own child through college or university? or feed them? or cloth them?
You seem to try and think of it in different ways. In cases of adoption, that money is more upfront than being saved gradually over time. Besides, do you Have fourty thousand dollars to adopt a child, and another twenty thousand to put the child through college, plus perhaps another twenty thousand through the course of eighteen, sometimes more years of raising them?
I highly doubt you do. If you have your child, you have eighteen years to save up enough to help them through college. And that sum for your own children is OVERALL, not right up front. It doesn't cost you twenty thousand dollars at the beginning of your child's life and have it all payed for all the time.
Not at all. You're gradually saving. Not to mention when college time rolls around there's such things called grants, etc, which help take the load off of you and your children to get financial means of going to college.
But seriously. I wont be ashamed of having my own child, and you're a little condescending to those who would have their own children and make wonderful lives for them and try their best.
What would you rather them do? Have everyone adopt children and be miserable at having nothing of their -own-? Adopted children can be seen as your children, that much is sure. But sometimes, you just want something that's solely created from you and the person you're wanting to be with for the rest of your life.
In a sense, a replica of you to continue your family's legacy. But I wouldn't expect you to understand. You seem the type blinded by your woe for the children who're in orphaneges, etc...to see the good and things to be proud of with your own flesh and blood child too.
#1 Yeah I can afford it.
#2 I've seen parents today. They can't even raise or cloth their own children. They think discipline is 'sorry jr no Cradle of Filth cd.' I dunno about you but I wouldn't even LET my kid listen to cd's like that at a young age.
#3 My own flesh and blood? How mammilian. Continuing my family's 'legacy'? Family is a last name on your birthcertificate. We made up the word 'family.' Every ape on the face of the Earth can squeeze a baby from between their legs. It's nature not, parenting. You wanna give osmething a life? how about giving someone's life a second chance, or a better chance?
