Answer 1

this is the funniest thing I have read all day. You have no clue on the cost or process of adoption. Besides the baby is not a toy go get your self a doll or find some more friends

Answer 2

Wow. Ok ive gotta say, My son just got adopted at 2 weeks old. I would NEVER have let you or your mom adopt him just because of the fact that you posted this.  You obviously have no idea how much work a baby is.  You have to realize that by adopting a baby you are taking someone else's baby.  Its not a fun process.  Not to mention, I highly doubt you are old enough to care for a baby, even if you think you can.

Answer 3

I think you need a talk with your Grandmother, please. <}:-})

Answer 4

This is silly you should not pressure/convince your mother into adopting. She either wants to or does not. Why don’t you start babysitting or adopt a puppy or kitten. Then when your older if you still want to adopt then you can.

Answer 5

Why is it that everyone wants to adopt a "CUTE" little baby?

What about the ugly babies? Do they ever get adopted?

Adoption is a life changing event not to be taken lightly.

How about mentoring a foster child or look into the Big Brother/ Big Sister's Program.

Answer 6

Um, if you "know everything there is to know about adoption' clearly you wouldn't post this question.

"cute little newborn babies' grow up to be whiny toddlers and angry teens....Your mom is not going to want to care for a child that she never wanted once you get over the excitement of a newborn and have to deal with the everyday realities of raising a child. If you want a newborn baby, get a degree, get a job, marry a nice guy, and procreate. Have fun!

Answer 7

Sorry, but you've got to be kidding me.  This isn't a doll or a new puppy you're talking about--it's a living, breathing human being, who your parents would be signing on to take care of forever.  And you expect them to go along because you want a baby sister to cuddle?

A baby is a huge responsibility, and it is up to your parents, not you, to decide if they want to take on that kind of commitment.

Answer 8

Dear Mika,

Adoption should be about the children.  It should be about finding the right parents for the child and NOT about finding the right child for the parents, or big sister in your case.

I'm sure you would make a great sister.  I bet you would make a great violinist, great soccer player, great mathematician and many other great things too.  You sound caring, you could babysit and start saving money for college.  Good Luck to you:)

Answer 9

You are right.  A baby -- someone else's baby -- is not a present.  Remember that this baby would have to lose his or her first family to be your playmate.  Remember that this baby is a human being.  Human beings aren't gifts.

If your mother wants to have more children, that's up to her.  In the meantime, you may want to focus on taking care of yourself, your schoolwork, a pet or two.  The day will come when you'll be ready for a family of your own.

Answer 10

Buy a life size doll. I have 6 children and a possible 15 grandchildren and they ALL USED to be or will be cute little babies, but the buggars grow up. I used to have 2 sisters too but one doesnt like me and one died, dont push your luck and accept what and who you are, leave your poor mum alone and just be the best daughter a Mum could have.  

Answer 11

If, as you say, you all ready know everything there is to know about adopting, why are you asking this question?

You must be well aware that you cannot just order up a baby.  There are no babystores like there are petstores.

You also must be aware that your question, asking for a "cute little newborn baby" is really offensive to a lot of people, adoptees included.  

You should get a puppy if you want something to love.  Children ARE NOT TOYS.  Please try to remember this.  If you are lonely, I am sorry, get some friends.  Join a club.  Do not ask your mom to adopt a baby.  A living human being, while being "cute" and "little" is not something to fix the emptiness you feel because some guy didn't ask you out.

I seriously think, if you need something cute and little to love, that you should get a puppy.  A puppy will wake you up in the middle of the night, a puppy will be completely dependent on you.  Except, with a puppy, the baby stage doesn't last years, but rather months.  Then, in order to keep you busy, take the puppy to classes.  Obedience, agility, anything to get you out of the house and active.  Also, for the rest of its life, if you treat the puppy well (and in most cases even if you don't, but please treat it well) the puppy will love you unconditionally.  You cannot say that about ANY human being, even a sibling.

Trust me, take this advice, when you are older you will thank me.

Answer 12

Your question is very offensive and immature to me. Babies are not puppies, they are human beings!  

Answer 13

How old are you? It sounds like your natural mothering instinct is starting to kick in. There's nothing wrong with that...it can start at a very young age, but expecting your mom to add a new family member to the fold to placate your budding maternal needs is a bit much. Best bet is to wait it out until you are really ready to have kids of your own.
