I'm not opposed to adoption. It's not in my immediate future because I'm on the move a lot and if I were going to be father I would like to be more grounded.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If it gets to the point where I actually physically cannot have a child, there's plenty of children in the world that need a stable home and loving parent. I'm so down for adoption.
I may adopt. I love children and I do feel the need to take the legacy forward. I am open to it, but emotionally you have to be ready for it. Raising a child is really a huge responsibility. And I should have that time and emotional energy to give to child. How and when is a decision my mother and I will take a few years from now.
Adoption has been a part of my life and a part of my family, so it was how I wanted to start. It felt natural and right to me.
The journey into adoption started for my parents, as it does with so many families: my mother and father desperately wanted to have kids, but they couldn't.
When I have a family someday, I'll probably adopt. Adoption has always been something close to my heart. There are so many kids out there who really need a family.
I really have always wanted to be a parent, and when I hit 36 and had just ended a relationship, I remember thinking how much I still wanted it. But I thought I'd adopt.
When I was growing up, I wanted to adopt, because I was aware there were kids that didn't have parents.
When I'm ready, I plan to adopt. I still believe in family.
I say to everybody, 'Adoption is not for the faint of heart.'
I don't want to raise a child by myself. I could do it. But I definitely don't want to. I want to be a mother who has the original father there.
