Good thing about adoption?

Question

Good thing about adoption?

Answer 1

I think there are many good things about adoption.  Most of all, it gives a child a loving home.  It also teaches everyone that we are all one.  We must learn to love the whole world of beings, and giving total love and acceptance to a child who was not born to you is a good start.  Many people have a hard time loving the whole of humanity.

Answer 2

My son is now 7 months old, and we had arranged for private adoption before he was born.  In order to have him faster (didn't work, but he tested positive for drug use because she did a dose of meth), she did the drug, and had done them before she found out she was pregnant, and possibly since (I've heard yes and no on that), so it is a very good thing that he is not around stuff like that.   She also went back to her abusive husband (not his dad), even though we have offered her help, contact, and we gave her my car so she'd have a way to and from pre-natal care.  My son is very happy.

Also, we are trying to adopt a little girl whose mother (father unknown) has died, and she is truly an orphan.  We are praying for her right now, and trying although we aren't sure we'll be the ones chosen for her.  We want to adopt again.

Answer 3

When there is total openness and honesty and no secrets and lies

Answer 4

Not being raised by a natural father that has an unnatural desire to rape young woman. Oh yeah and she got a mother and father that thinks she is the most amazingly talented, beautiful, funny, intelligent and loving little girl in the world.

She didn't get affluent parents but she did get educated ones who have went to great lengths to understand how she may feel later in life and who have encouraged and nurtured her

thirst for knowledge.

Answer 5

when you surrender your child for adoption - please do come back and let me know the good thing about adoption because all it has led to for me is pain and grief.

Answer 6

There are lots of good things about adoption! Like, giving love to a child who otherwise would never have it, taking in a child who has no home, helping NOT overpopulate the planet, giving a child opportunities s/he normally would not have had, saving a child from abuse/neglect...

I could go on and on. There's no end to the good things about adoption. The only bad thing I can think of is sometimes it can be expensive. Don't believe you won't love an adopted child as much as a biological one. That simply just isn't true!

Answer 7

Everything about adoption is good. How can there be anything bad about it? An unwanted child is given to a loving family that wants it.

My brother and sister were adopted and it was the best thing that happened to them, my parents, me, and my whole family.

Answer 8

Everything I could say about adoption is good...I just don't know where to begin.  I've adopted two already and plan on one more by the end of the year.

Answer 9

Are you asking as a woman thinking about adopting or thinking about placing a child. There are good things on both sides.

If you are thinking of adopting the obvious answer about the joys of raising a child.

If you are placing a child. The good thing about adoption is you are making a choice not to kill your child. However lets not miss the third (and best) option of raising him/her yourself.

If you are thinking about placing a child don't make up your mind to early. There are lots of services to help you raise your child in almost every situation. Give yourself time to feel those kicks and give your best shot at staying a mommy.

If you choose adoption, it can be a wonderful thing when done right. You get to choose the family you would like to see your child raised in. Decide how much contact you want with the child (more is best IMO) and you can know you did the best you could for him/her. I always say adoption is the decision everyone can live with. Be careful out there though. There are some unethical people. Even if you decide adoption and change your mind after the birth...SPEAK UP!!Don't sign anything until you are ready and positive.

Answer 10

Everything! A child is given to a family who genuinely wants them and possible could not have had children of their own.

Answer 11

When its done in the correct and moral way then its not as bad as people make out!

It can benefit the child a great deal, if the adoptive parents are open and honest with them.

It can give the child a chance in life that they may not have been able to have.

Being an "adoptee" does not stop you from living life to the full, your emotions do. Depending on how the adoptee deals with them.

I personally think that adoption is a good thing. But I do think that it has just as many down sides as good.

Answer 12

What is bad about adoption?  It gives lots of people a new chance at family.  It gives couples who can not have children the chance to raise a family.  It gives children the chance to have a family who wants and cares about them.  Adoption also keeps another baby from being aborted.  What is bad about adoption?

Answer 13

I gave a daughter up for adoption. I knew from the beginning she didnt belong to me. To this day I feel that I did the right thing as I gave her to beautiful people who could not have children. She was a blessing to them, and they were a blessing to me. I dont have any contact with her now, but I know she's well and I know that I did the right thing.

Answer 14

I was taken from a woman who loved me and given to other people who grew to love me.  

Hmmmm....
