Great topic.
I believe that the adoption should be about the best interests of the child, first and foremost. I don't think that the aparents needs are unimportant, but that they come secondary to the adoptee.
I am adopting because I want to parent. I don't want to save the world or even save a child, I want to prent a child. When friends or family tell me how unselfish I am, I'm quick to correct them. I remind them that I'll be getting something out of this as well. I have limitations and am not open to any child who's waiting. I would not be adopting if I wasn't going to get something out of it. I can't wait to be her MOM .
