Where I live sure doesn't make me feel like the world is overpopulated. I agree with some of the things JadedSaint stated. I do not believe it is selfish for a couple to want to have a biological baby. I think it would be facinating to see what a child of mine and my husband's would look like or be like. I don't think everyone has a calling to adopt. I really do believe it's a calling. How many people wake up in the morning and tell themselves they think it would be a wonderful experience to go through an invasive homestudy, in some cases fork over thousands of dollars, and ride the emotional rollercoaster that adoption can be. Maybe even risk having a failed placement or so on...? I think our hearts are to want to parent but we take one day at a time. It really isn't for everyone. I really don't look at my son like I rescued or saved him from the system. I look at who he is and what a blessing he is in my life. I feel he is a wonderful child with so much to offer.
