Answer 1

Answer 2

There is something odd about your question.  Please take a look at it, and re-examine your words.

"Best bet" -- Adoption is not a game, it is a long and arduous process that takes much time and serious thought.

"Adopt twin girls" -- Please remember that adoption is ideally mostly for the children -- being so specific as to age and s*x and number of children sounds a lot like a special order.

"Quickest amount of time possible" -- Again, this is a long process that takes patience and conviction that you are acting in the best interest of the child.

You may not mean any harm, or you may, or better yet, you may be a plant -- but in any case, my point is made.  I assume you are a grown man/woman, and can take the hit.

Answer 3

What a disgusting question - gimme baybeees and give 'em to me NOW! classic entitlement syndrome yuk

I have young twins in England but they're not for sale, sorry

Answer 4

twins are almost never available :) actually even sibilings are rare. good luck and get an international adoption agency

Answer 5

from what i saw there are a lot of kids that need adopting in guatamala. i would think that a lot of countries in asia and africa would be a pretty good choice. this is the site that i went to www.precious.org/

Answer 6

Okay, I was just about to tell you off, but then I looked at your other questions, and see that you are apparently just finishing high school. So if you adopt, it won't be for probably at least 7 years or so, so you will learn a lot between now and then. So I figure I can afford to cut you some slack.

You're young, there is plenty of time to think about when and how you want to form a family. I see you are heading off to college in the fall, and trying out for cheerleading (good luck -- DON'T break a leg!). After college, I urge you to spend a few years on your own and then (if you choose to marry) a few years married, before you start a family. There are so many things it is harder to do when you are a parent. I especially urge you to travel and see the world, since you are interested in having a connection with another country. Perhaps you would like to live abroad for awhile.  

Once you are ready to settle down and have a family, adoption can be a good option, but it isn't something to do because it seems like a romantic idea. If in a few years, you are serious about adoption, I urge you to consider adopting through foster care. You can do that when you are still single and the age limit would be much lower, though you would still have to have a stable home (could be a rental) and stable income.

I have a daughter from China, and know many other children adopted from China, and even one set of twins. Children adopted from China and other foreign countries have all the same issues as any other children--and in many cases more, because they are adopted, and have lost their first parents, and their birthright culture and language. Many times they have health issues, or developmental issues, or trauma issues. And they will face racism that white parents are often ill-equipped to help them deal with. Parenting adopted children is parenting plus, and you have to be prepared for that.

And you should know that the reason we are all reacting is that your question doesn't make it sound like you are thinking about real children that you would be a parent to, but instead a sort of set of dolls that you could dress up in cute little matching outfits. Adoption should be mainly about providing homes to children, not special orders for potential adoptive families.

Good luck with your life! Don't rush into settling down too early. I'm sure that when you are ready you will have a wonderful family.

Answer 7

Awwww come on Devin.  You make it sound like you are going thru a drive thru.  *sigh*  Why twins?  You might have to lower your standards a tad bit. It should be a little more about the kids who need parents and a little less about what you want in a kid.  Please, please read  the book "twenty things adopted kids wish their parents knew".

I'm not trying to be mean, i'm just trying to educate you. In twenty years what if your kids see this post?  Do you think they'd be happy with your word choices?  Good Luck.

Answer 8

adoption is not about what accessory looks best with you.  it should be about what you can provide and who needs what you can provide.  

if you said you were open to twins, but were interested in adoption in general i think you would get a better response here.   but the way your question is phrased it sounds like you're looking for a new car and which dealership is best.

some things to think about before you care for another living human being.

Answer 9

Probably China, because they have alot of girls there. Any counrty actually could use your help. Girls should be easy to find. There is more older girls there, so that's good, but they can also be troublesome, so maybe you should go very young, so that there won't be as many problems. It depends on how much you can deal with.

Answer 10

include Ethiopia, East Africa in your list. i know a couple who are happy with their adopted daughter. if there is a possibility of changing the requirement of twins to any other sibling, that will also do better. i do understand your fear. if i am not wrong, you like to raise two siblings together. that is a good idea. please keep going.

Answer 11

China routinely separates twins.  Guatemala is closed. India or an African country are both possibilities, but your best bet for twins is to go the surrogate route.

Answer 12

questions like these disturb me.

although i think your motives are innocent, understand that "special ordering" children in "the quickest amount of time [sic] and bringing them home at the youngest age possible" to fit your idea of the perfect parenting experience, is looked upon very critically.

you should be looking to adopt for provide a home for a child (gender inclusive) who needs a home.  i strongly suggest you do a bit more research on adoptee loss and culural issues faced by trans-culturally adopted children.

Answer 13

Um, why so specific?  When adopting we can specify some things, but maybe being so specific seems (not is) but seems kind of, well greedy almost.  Just my thoughts...sorry if it offends....
