How many babies would you adopt.?

Question

How many babies would you adopt.?

Answer 1

I can handle two babies, so I would adopt two. However, I can sponsor many more. They live with their parents, but organizations like Save the Children and Salvation Army spend my donations on taking care of the kids' educational and health needs.

Answer 2

As many as l could handle!  l'm becoming a foster parent, becuase the costs to adopt are so expensive, plus so many children need foster parents who really care about them.  But l would adopt any of those kids if l could (Australia doesn't really allow adoption of children in foster care), but l have nominated to take guardianship of any children who need it.  l hope l get the chance to save a child from returning to a life of abuse.

Answer 3

We adopted our son a year ago...but its only now I'm begining to understand the complexities involved. I love my son dearly and truyly think this was meant to be in more ways than one. But I would now like to spend time in encouraging women to not put up their children for adoption- it is better to educate, support and nurture a young mother to be to hld onto her baby...really its ideal, natural for a child to be brought up by its birth parents. Adoption should be an act of rescue for a child in need not for the mother to be..

Answer 4

I had 4 kids, plus 2 step kids I raised and now have 2 foster kids I am adopting.  I  would love more but hubby not in agreement. I love kids and would love more.

Answer 5

We adopted both of our children, and plan to adopt at least two more. My husband has always said he wants eight children. We will happily adopt as many children as we have the means and time to care for.

Answer 6

We are building our family through adoption rather then have any biological children.

I think we will stop at adopting two, but who knows, we may adopt one more after that.

Answer 7

i would like to adopt two babies and have two so then i would have my family of four

Answer 8

I'd love to adopt at least one more child.  But if I had an unending amount of money, I would adopt as many as the state would allow me to.  I love children and feel that ALL children deserve a loving home and loving family.  The more people to love a child, the better the child will be.  :)

Answer 9

Probably none.  If I adopted, (and this is a big if) it would be a child who really did need a home and not be taken from a woman in a crisis pregnancy.

I'd much rather put that time and effort in encouraging families to stick together instead of encouraging abandonment and loss.

Answer 10

Four! I would love to help a child in need and if giving them a warm home and clothing to put on their back and parents who loves them is the least i can do.

Answer 11

Maybe it's just me, but this is kind of an odd question!  That is such an individual decision, based on too many factors to possibly know or list.

Would you ask on the Pregnancy Board, "How many babies would you have?"    

People (hopefully) parent as many children as they believe they can appropriately parent!  That is one for some, more for others.  Just depends on time, resources, circumstances, support, etc.

Being a singleton has its advantages, though!

People also adopt children and teenagers, too, not just babies!  : )

Answer 12

Do you mean how many babies at one time, or how many children altogether?  Personally, my husband and l choose to have/adopt/foster as many children as we feel we have the physical, emotional and financial resources for.  lt's a difficult question, it all depends on how many children people want, what stage of their lives they're in, and what their existing children are like l guess.  You can't really pick a number!

Answer 13

I have a Gigantic family. I have 5 kids that I've adopted Plus I usually have around 3 foster kids at a time. i don't think I'll adopt anymore but I'll continue to foster and when my kids start moving out of the house I'll start foster even more kids at a time. I love the way my life is and me and my husband wouldn't trade it for anything!

Answer 14

as many as i could care for and handle

Answer 15

My wife and I adopted 2 children in Dec. Then funny thing got pregnant 4 days later. The 2 children we adopted are brother and sister. If you can adopt from within your communityIt actually did not cost us a cent. the state paid the adoption fee

Answer 16

Unless I was presented with a baby to adopt, that wouldn't be my first choice....so zero.  I would much rather adopt and older child.  There are so many reasons for that.  I guess my answer would also be based on my monetary situation.

Answer 17

At first a few, like 3

until i get more money...but only continue if you can handle it and if you have the resources to raise them and have time and patience for so many children... the impirtant thing is giving them the love and nurturing they need not just adopting them for the sake of it

Answer 18

We are ready for two!  Although we would happily take toddlers, too.

Answer 19

I would adopt however many I could handle, of course starting with one.  I won't be adopting though, I'm having kids on my own.  Kudos for all who do adopt though, it's a really kind and special thing.  I wish that teenagers would stop with their selfishness and quit getting abortions when there are so many couples out there, unable to conceive, and on a 10 year waiting list to adopt.  It's just so sad that a life has to be ended. :(
