I've always thought about adopting. My mother and her sister (my aunt) were both adopted my my Grandma seperately. I am very close with my family and I am familiar with adoption and the various emotional levels and issues that go with it.
I am now 29 years old and I havent been with my current BF for too long. But I am at the point in my life where I now might someday want kids. And I am the kind of person that needs time to be able to process a solid relationship, etc, before ever considering getting married, let alone having kids with them.
Something in me tells me that even though I adopt, it may not be fair to raise a child at least with the intention of having a male role model - or even a different/additional role model than just myself. But the other argument I have is that there are all these children with not even one parent... I know that most adoption places may not even consider placing a child with a single parent. But Im a good person with a good income...
