If an adoptee marries a adoptee?

Question

do they give birth to an adoptee?

Answer 1

Umm.. no.. they ADOPT an adoptee.

{I'm an adoptee, married to a second generation adoptee(his dad was adopted, and so is he), with an adopted son.}

Answer 2

Dear Surf,

I never know how to answer your questions! You intrigue me. I can never tell if you are kidding!

Marriage alone doesn't make babies. They have to... um, you know, to get pregnant. Only the mother will give birth to their child. If everything is done the "old fashioned way", then no, the baby is not an adoptee.

If it is an AI pregnancy using donor materials (egg, sperm or embryo), and requires one or both parents to adopt after the child is born, then yes, the baby will be an adoptee.

ETA: Great answer, Julie!!

ETA2: Um, not sure I understand the thumbs down. This is how it works, folks!

Answer 3

Not sure. I wonder what a Guatemalan child placed up for US adoption would be considered if their mother was the 12 yr.old daughter of their father.

Answer 4

Guess what- my husband and I are both adopted- and we just had our first child! SHE'S COMPLETELY, LEGITIMATELY, BIOLOGICALLY OURS! (ps- she's wonderfully made!)

Answer 5

Why are you planning on marrying an adoptee?

Answer 6

roflol so nice to tune into Y!A's today and see you still here :)

I'd say they definitely bring someone into the world who will absolutely be effected by adoption, and most likely the damage of sealed records :)

Answer 7

Did your Mom unground you from the computer Surf?

Answer 8

Nope.  But you could unwittingly marry your blood relative!  Thanks sealed records :)

Answer 9

I don't know I'll ask my sister and her husband. They are both adoptees.

They actually have not been able to conceive and are considering adoption.

Answer 10

Answer 11

I do not know.

My husband and I were both adoptees, but we actually have adopted two children ourselves!

Answer 12

I.Q. points are dropping at an alarming rate.

Answer 13

this is a joke right?

Answer 14

Hi Surfy,

Even if you meant to just entertain with your question, I will give you a real answer to it.  If both adoptees were from sealed record states, then the child of 2 adoptees will not know his heritage from both sides of his family.  That part is essentially the same predicament most adoptees end up in, except this child would at least be able to know their mother & father's personal history.  Fortunately they would still maintain the mother-child bond too.

If a child has one adopted parent, then 50% of his heritage & medical info is missing.  If it's one adopted grandparent, then 25% is missing, etc.  Adoption affects not only the child adopted, but also his descendants forever.

The adoptees also run the risk of unknowingly being biologically related to each other and of producing children who are at risk for genetic birth defects.  There was a recent case in the news of a brother-sister adoptee pair who didn't know they were related until after they were married.  It was a tragic and preventable story.  Apparently, it seems acceptable to expose adoptees & their children to these types of risks in exchange for the AP's presumably getting a child with a "blank slate."  You make the call if that seems fair.

Legally, the child is not adopted.  The effects would be similar to adoptees.  All of these points are valid reasons for returning adoptees' birth information to them upon adulthood so they can make informed decisions for themselves.  

Thanks for bringing this up.

Answer 15

i don't think there is such phenomenon happening however if they give birth to their own child they are called their legitimate and biological child not an 'an adoptee' unless if they want to adopt!

Answer 16

hey you got a pair then a full house!!!! two adoptees make a full bio, aint that cool!!!!

Answer 17

if they give birth and relinquish the child for adoption, I guess they would have given birth to an adoptee.

Answer 18

What do you think?  Of course not.

Answer 19

Sort of.

They give birth to a person with a completely obscured history.  No roots.

Answer 20

Reej much?
