Would you adopt a child?

Star's picture

No one knows for sure how many orphans there are in China. Some estimates have put the number well over 600,000 and some sources suggest that the number of orphans in China has actually increased by almost 25% in the past five years. No matter what the exact number, it is clear that there are many children in China who lack a home. Many of these children are growing up in orphanages while others are simply living on the street. These statistics are heartbreaking-every child deserves a good home.

So what about you? Could you ever see yourself adopting a child? Is this something that you have ever thought about doing? Or is adoption an option for you only if you can't have children of your own?

And what about your parents? How would they feel if you decided to adopt a child? Could they accept this?

I look forward to reading your comments.

I'm sure that I won't adopt a child. To be honest, I hate children, I think the children are abominable no matter how cute they are... Maybe it's the character reason. All in all, I try my best to keep far away from the chidren. So no adoption, even that I can't promise whether I will give birth to a child or not. I prefer the lovely animals.

I don't think i would.My aunt have adopted a babygirl several years ago. Now the girl is a junior middle school student and she has a happy family. But what my aunt worries about is that whether she should tell the girl the truth when the girl is old enough. If the girl leaves my aunt and seek for her real mother,what should my aunt do. Adopting a child has too many many problems after they grow up.

I once thought of adopt a child several years ago but I did not have futher imagination about it.
Howere,when the question raise again into my mind,I think I will consider it when I grow up.Children are cute and sweet friends and adults will be absorbed by their little brains and babyish pure questions.Haha~I would immerse in it~
I feel sorry to say that my parents would not adopt a child because they both think that only one Me is enough~~as I was a headache who have enough things to make them busy.

In my point of view,adopting a child is meaningful,cuz you can help the homeless children.If I have the ability to adopt a child, I would do it.

I think when I am economic independence,I will try to adopt a child.I told this to my roommate,and she said you are afraid that you can not be good mother if you have your own child, how can you adopt a child? Actually, I don't plan to have my own child,just because I think I can't be a good mother.But those orphans,they want families.Maybe I am not good enough, but it's better for them to have a family and live in love

firstly,i am sorry to hear that there are 600,000 orphanages in our country;secondly,if i can't have my own child,i would adopt one of them.for there to be full sympathy in my deep heart,i'd like to help some of them,try my best.my parents also like kids,and i believe them will agree with me to adopt an orphanage or two or maybe more,if i have the ability to do this charity .

if my money is limited,sure i will adopt a child。i think the infants are poor and lonely,they need love and concern,if i have this ability to give love to them ,why not? they are the people who deserve love

I remember that after Wenchuan earthqueck my father decided to adopt a child but my mom disagreed .Because my family is too poor to raise a child .If you adopted the child you would have responsibility for him.That is not a easy thing.

When I become adult,I think I would adopt a child if I doesn't have my own children.Or if I have just one child,I Would adopt another child whose sex is different from my own child.Actually I think my parents can accept it and support what I do.

Yes,i will.I want to give birth to a baby,my own child.But if i have enough money and time to bring them up,i will adopt one or more.One requiement,the kid i want to adopt must looks ok and healthy,i can give money to the disable children,but i can't take care of them.

i can not imagine parents adopt their child ,i always feel that parents always love their children no one accept i cloud not find any reason they will adopt
their child .i don't have any strength adopt my child,i will never do this thing

I think I will. Don't you think they are the most unfortunate person in the world? They are not deserve it . Athough to raise a child is very expensive, I will try my best to help them. But I want to ask the parents who abandoned their child, why you abandoned your child. Whatever reason should not be your excuses to abandon your own child. If no parents abandon their child, where do we have child to adopt?

If I don`t have a child,I would adopt a child.I think it is a good thing to adopt a child who is homeless.I will never tell the child the truth.I will treat my adopt child like my own child.And I believe my family will give all their love to my child.If my husband love me.He will agree with me.

I'd like to adopt a child ,if I can't have a baby by my own. But there is still something I would worry about. For example,what if the kid is reclutant to live with me after he or she know that I was not he or she mother and something like that .It would hurt my feeling when he or she left me and I haven't already been live without he or she.
But I think it would be ok for my parents if I adopt a child.

I like kids and before a long time i have thought of adopting a child one day.Provided i have enough ability,definitely,i will do it.As for my parents,i think,they will respect my decision!

if i have no child,maybe i will consider to adopt one.
however,adopting a child is not an easy thing,you have responsibility to foster the child and give a good grown-up environment,so that you can be a good parent.

Why not? To be honest,I want to adopt a child. For one thing, I don't need to suffer from delivering a baby. For another, we can help others.

minis's picture

First,I think I must have enough money.Nurture a child needs much money.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

The child is the gift that god gave every mother's .The child is the symbol of life.

Children are very pure and innocent, and together with them will give you a warm feeling.

But adopting a child needs a lot of factors, have the economic base, when I have time, I will go to adopt a child.

SHT's picture

I think I will.

Michelle's picture

I will.It doesn't depend on whether I could have children of my own.I think if you have the ability and you want to give the orphan love.You will do so.
