There's a clock ticking on the pregnancy thing, but not a clock ticking on adoption.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I say to everybody, 'Adoption is not for the faint of heart.'
It would be a lie to say that people are coming to adoption with joy at all times. Hope, perhaps, but it would be disingenuous to say that every part coming to an adoption isn't seriously grieving.
There are so many kids in this world, and in this country, that need homes. And so we're perfectly content to look into adoption one day, if for some reason we aren't able to have a biological child.
Some women just skip having babies or adopt because they don't want to get fat or they haven't put in the time to find a partner. It's great to adopt, but a lot of adoptions are motivated by vanity and laziness.
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.
The birth mother is placing the baby out of love. I still believe that. Well, the ones we've dealt with who were actually pregnant, anyway.
It's no mistake that the moment of impregnation is called conception: at first, parenthood is nothing more than an idea.
The adoption process was not an easy one. The paperwork took nine months. It's a full-time thing!
A full accounting of adoption as an option would not underestimate its emotional challenges - the grief and loss for birth mothers, the uncertainties for adoptive parents operating under a patchwork of state laws.
I feel sure that unborn babies pick their parents.
