Would you adopt one or two?

Question

okay so when i get older of course, i am way to young right now, but when I'm older i haven't decided whether to adopt or actually give birth to kids?

i think i'll adopt but i cant decide between one or two. they both have perks and downfalls. help?

Answer 1

It's up to you, but I adopted a large sibling group.  When you adopt just one or two, you might be splitting a sibling group.

And I have no opinion on whether you give birth or not.  That's a personal decision.

Answer 2

Go for two. It will make you feel much better when you know you have helped saved 2 lives.

Answer 3

its best to give birth to your own child, adoption is hard, some kids have a bad history of sickness or abuse life, U don't want that in your family.

Answer 4

I wouldn't adopt.  My time, effort, money, etc... is much better put to use by attempting to address the issues of why families are put into the position of having to relinquish or abandon their children.

Answer 5

I think you should do a LOT of reading and research before you consider adoption. Luckily you have plenty of time. :-)

Often sibling groups in foster care have difficulty finding homes together. If you were open to adopting more than one child at once, I think adopting a sibling pair of foster children would be a good way to go. That would provide a home to children who otherwise might have trouble finding one.

I don't think it's a good idea to adopt two unrelated children at the same time. If the children are not already siblings, I think it's best to space the adoptions out to give the children ample time to adjust.

But yeah, do some research on adoption before making any decisions.

Answer 6
