HOWEVER... I feel that if you have the means, the will, the space, the ability, that you should give a child in need a home, you know?
Not that I think it would be easy; my grandparents took, in a foster boy once and it was really difficult for them. The System is so incredibly twisted that these poor children wind up pretty shaken and disturbed.
I have HUGE amount of respect for anyone (or any couple) who want to adopt or foster a family; it takes a LOT of work and a whole lot of Heart. I think that more people should consider these means.

Yeah especially the ones whom the main reason they adopted was because they physically were infertile to do so. But the only difficult process after they've mustered the strength to do so, is when the child gets older and starts to question about their real parents. The whole: Where are they? Why didn't they want me? Did they love me? Do you really love me? Or did you just adopt me because no one else did? How do I know if you're lying to me and you kept me away from my real family? Or when they get in the teen/adolescent period and they misbehave : I don't have to listen to you, you're not my real mom and dad anyway! I hate you! :mad:
I don't know if I would be exactly prepared to answer all of those questions. It would be very difficult. :confused: |
