Question

Is it better to have kids or adopt because im thinking about adopting when im older?

Answer 1

Personally

i have decited to adopt in the futer

i am 100% sure of it

ther are many children that need a home and thers not as much pain

so i find it to work out in to ways yes you dont have the bond of him/her growing within you but

love is love.

Adopt.

Answer 2

You can do both. That way you'll have your own flash-and -blood child and you'll feel good cause you helped live a better life an innocent child

Answer 3

It's impossible to say that one is "better" than the other - just two different paths to parenthood. And there's nothing that says you can't do both!

I think if you're still feeling a pull toward adopting when you get older, you should look into it!

Answer 4

both are okay.  i was told that almost nothing beats the feeling of pregnancy. but despite having said that, loving and caring for children, whether biological or adopted, is a beautiful thing.

Answer 5

I have done both and have no regrets at all. I am happy I got to experience being pregnant but couldn't be any more in love with my daughter (adopted) either.

The important thing is if you are going to adopt make sure to educate yourself. Realize that raising a bio child is different than raising a child that you adopted. My bio children have no abandonment or attachment issues. My daughter does and I am sure she will for the rest of her life.

Also make sure you find a good agency who is not only in it for the money. There are older children from  toddlers on up who truly need parents. It isn't all about getting a newborn. If foster care adoption is something you can do then I would check in to it before all other types of adoptions.

WTH?? A thumbs down for what?

Answer 6

There is no right or wrong answer in this.  It really comes down to what  you want to do, or  if your married its decision for you and your spouse. There is no reason one can’t have both adopted and biological children if that’s what they want.  There is also nothing wrong with a couple who just decides they wanted only adopted children regardless if they could conceive a natural child.

Answer 7

Do both. Experience parenthood for all different directions!

be sure to do the research before adopting however, to be prepared - it's a different type of parenting.

Answer 8

do both. have your own and adopt. like that actress Jolie.

also consider foster care. there are many kids who need a home, even if its just for a short time.

Answer 9

Adoption is very complex, especially for the children involved.  The answer to your question is not as simple as "do this ___".  Here are some other q&a's that might define things a bit more for you:

As you can see, adoption is a very complex arrangement.  It can be very negative for children, even if the "result" (i.e., a loving family) is positive.  You've got plenty of time to do your research and learn about adoption from the adoptee's perspective before making your choices.  I wish you luck!

Answer 10

I do not at all like the way your question is worded.

"Have kids"? Because there not your children when you adopt?

This should be a personal thing not somthing you ask strangers. And never should adoption be the "last resort".

Answer 11

Better for whom?
