Great story, terribly written though

[Roscoe]

Yep. Lots of victims of circumstance beyond their control need a good home, not just newborns. Me and Dot plan to adopt on the count there's something wrong with my semen.

No healthy white baby. What else you got? They said they had two Koreans and a negro born with his heart on the outside...

Christian & I are right now. After losing the twins last year, we decided it just wasn't in the cards for us. Then my cousin called because a family member's baby had been taken by CPS & they wanted us to take her because they knew our story. So we are adopting through CPS kinship care program because they won't allow her near her bio mom. I love her like she was my own.

I would adopt, and have considered the idea of doing so when I'm a bit older and our natural children have grown and moved on. My Step-Father's brother and his wife did that. They fostered 2 kids after raising 3 of their own, and eventually adopted them.

The only thing, and I know it comes off as selfish to say this, I would be hesitant to adopt any child other than an infant or young toddler. I would be too worried that they may already have behavioral or mental issues that could not be overcome.

I have a lot of respect for those willing to do so though.

BTW, age would be my only hang-up. Race would not matter to me.

She is an awesome little girl too. I can't wait until the adoption is complete, for you guys!

[slow99]

Sure would.

[Chili]

Already did.

How's she doing?

[lowthreeohz]

My dad, aunt, and uncle were all adopted. I have no problems with adoption, especially knowing how my dad feels about his parents vs his biological ones. me and the old lady have talked about it a bit, but selfish as it might be since the blood line reset with my father and i, a part of me does want to carry that on.

Back to normal and acting like a knucklehead. Don't know what was up with her. Neither did the vet, but I still got a nice little bill for $400.

My girlfriend has an 11 year old, so that's an adoption of sorts.

My wallet just took a hit from a pitbull that attacked my oldest great dane. She's fine now though. Glad yours is better too.


I would adopt if I wanted more kids.

Same boat sir. I feel I am too old for an infant anyways. I see it as it is better for ne to pass my knowledge on than it to dissolve with me, even though I know I am far from perfect.
