Donate
how do you feel when someone would rather be without a child than adopt?

i have adopted a beutiful little boy and am about to persue a private adotion for my second child. a girl at work was saying that her brother and sil have been trying to concieve for almost 10 years with no luck. another co-worker asked if they were considering adoption. she said no, then someone else asked why, she got quite and just said they did not want to adopt (i am sure she was trying to be sensitive to me). anyway, i would never want someone to adopt a child that truely did not want to, but for some reason it has been bothering me ever since she said it. have any of you had this experience and what are some reasons couples feel not being a parent would be better than adopting. i guess i can't understand because i think adoption is the best thing to ever happen to me.
