Child Adoption
-
It depends. We have adopted kids in the family, and they are all mental. I can't help but think that the genetic makeup that led to a child in Western society being abandoned, goes on to cause problems. We want another child, and I am all for adopting a baby from the third world, where the reason for adoption is poverty, or death of parents, and not drug addiction or mental breakdown.
...and sometimes a child is still just a child. It is our job to reach their inner-self and re-ignite that passion called childhood that circumstances have conspired to squash. I agree, some children are so broken, so turned inside-out, that no amount of love and effort can save them. That is a shame. The final nail of destruction for the savable child is that a capable adult would withhold their love and efforts because of that adult's fear of failure...It was an adult who broke that child and it will be an adult who will rescue that child from being a broken adult.

Would you consider child adoption if you have no problems making baby?
My aunt and uncle did it. They had two kids of their own then adopted 5 more.

They need a hand on the farm? Just kidding. In the mid to late 19th century in this country that is how many cities handled the "orphan problem".

Sounds similar to the Victorian workhouses as depicted in Charles Dicken's Oliver Twist.

I agree with you, but if you can get over the blood line issue, there are actually many benefits for adoption. Such as the female do not have to carry the baby for 10 months, and because for most adoption, by the time you got the baby, the baby is already 6+ months old, the baby's most troubling and high-risk period had passed. -- modified at 6:34 Sunday 12th November, 2006

You sound like your buying a car. "You know those things loose 10% the moment you drive them off the lot and you never know if your going to get a lemon."

It is similar except that their were trainloads of children shipped to the mid-west to work on farms...a very docile and cheap work force.

[I should have realised someone else would see the same analogy just a post or two down....] Its a bit like buying a young second hand car. Someone else has already dealt with the driving off the forecourt depreciation, and initial [*] mechanical problems... Iain. [*] I almost said 'teething problems', just to prove it's a decent analogy.
