I just want to let you all know, that I was not expecting to find people who would understand where I am coming from or even my point of view. If there were, I would not have even posted this at all. I do appreciate the feed back but I noticed you all replied to tell me how wrong I am to have my own opinion, when my intent for the post was actually just to find others who are as frustrated as me. I have found a few and I guess you could say, what we hold is an extreme view. However, just because many do not agree with it, does not mean that I am wrong for stating things the way I see them. That is how I see things and that is why I choose to adopt over having my own (by that I mean biological) children. While you see me as being out of line, I see it from the opposite spectrum. Just because there are far less people that agree with me than that agree with you does not mean that our view is not valid. If it offends you, all I can say is maybe you do not think this veiw is valid...but I am entitled to my opinion. Also, I know the adoption process is long and tidious. I am not stupid, I just did not include this information in my first post. My plan, not that any of you care to hear it, is that I am going to adopt as many children as my life and the state and my money supply allow. I wish to dedicate my life to children to an extreme degree in the workplace and at home. These children will be of high needs, some in siblings sets, and no preference on their age or race. That is how I feel and I expected that many would not. Thank you for your opinion, I respect it, but cannot agree with it as I currently and probably will always feel on the issue. I should hope that even though my veiw is different, you are able to see where I am coming from and not to take it to heart for it is only my opinion. And this is a free country!
