I Agree with you
I'm new on this site too, and I didn't introduce myself or explain my situation. I don't know why, are we supposed to?
Anyway, I completely agree with you. I know you didn't mean that no one should have biological children. I feel that there are few people that actually want to adopt if they can have bio children. So, if you are open to it, why bring more into the world when there are so many out there that just need someone to give them a chance? I feel that the world is overpopulated and if anyone disagrees with that I can give some exact numbers of people around the world and have fast they are multiplying. And no matter what age you adopt, someone has to do it so it does help. I've always wanted to adopt a child and luckily enough my husband agreed.
Now that we are beginning the process I have been overwhelmed with peoples responses to it. "Why would any one want to adopt if you can have them on your own?" and "They will grow up just like their bio parents who neglected or abandoned them" And then they go on with the grape vine stories of their "boss's cousin's friend's nephew" that adopted and the child got on drugs or something. (you know those kind of stories where they don't know any names of these people in this so called true story) Anyway, I always thought that adopting would be seen as a good thing, not that I want to do it to be a hero or anything. But I was very surprised at the reactions to it. I have just decided that they are not the ones that have to accept it and love it, there are always going to be people that disagree with whatever you do.
Some people seemed to have a problem with calling a bio child your own child, well people shouldn't take that personally, I knew what you were talking about.
