For some reason I've thought of adoption myself. I'm currently not really ready to be raising a child, but when (if?) I become so, I'll consider adoption.

I think adoption is wonderful. You're doing a huge favor not just to the children, but also to humanity and the world~ Go for it, I would say! If you have the love and compassion to adopt children, I'm sure your adopted child(ren) will be content with the love and care you give them (as opposed to wondering why they might look so physically different from them). I have met many people who were adopted, and they are all wonderful human beings.
Someone I know of recently adopted a 5 year old girl. She is black and the couple who took her in is white. She'll realize that they aren't her birth parents later in life but what's important is that they cared for her when her real parent's couldn't. I felt an extreme happiness for this girl, who I do not even know. I was told that her new mom is in charge of a preschool and I believe that now she has a better chance to flourish.
I have always wanted to be a single mother and have my own adopted kid as my only child to spoil and love to death, but it's hard for that to happen.
I just don't see myself getting married and the thought of me giving birth to a child makes me feel scared and sick to my stomach.
2 of my cousins are adopted, and they have lived good lives for the most part.
I think if you ever decide to adopt a child that is not of your ethnicity or race to make sure to eventually educate them about their background.
If you don't know about their ethnic background well, then maybe take them to some place to learn about it.
Both of my cousins are Colombian, and were adopted by my Mexican American auntie and my mom's brother.
They had my cousins go to Spanish speaking schools their whole life.
Their birth mother is still alive, and they write a letter to her in Spanish once a year to let her know what's going on in their lives, so I think that's why it was important for them to go to the schools they went to.
Their birth mom can't take care of them at all, because of the things that have happened to her and she is diagnosed with clinical depression.
My cousins have inherited the depression, but their lives haven't been bad at all thanks to good parenting and they are on medication, so things haven't gotten bad for them yet.
@Jasanime
Me and my girl were considering the adoption road; thing's come up (medical) that can't be helped. I think it's wonderful that you're considering that; especially your reason behind it. A lot of babies in the world looking for a home; so I think you're part of the greater side of humanity that's looking to put a home for one of these LOVELY babies. Lol; I wish you the best of luck Jas; and hope everything turns out for you. I hope the future looks good for you as well!
No experience with it, but I wish you and your future adopted child all the happiness in the world.
I think you're doing a good job to be honest and I agree on your motive for it.
I'm also pondering on having someone else's child instead of making one myself.
Not right now ofcourse, I'm only 21.
@Aleyna thanks for the insight. Our goal is to visit the country we adopt from and learn the language so we can raise our child with both cultures because I believe it's very important for that child to grow up knowing exactly who they are and where they came from.
@Matty and @Chigumi thank you so much for your kind words, they mean a lot!
Well, I also feel fond to adoption (though I'm only 19 so if I ever do it won't be in the next 5 years at least so taht I finish college) and I wished my parents adopt a child, because I love babies and small kids so much and my younger brother is 17 and is very rude to me, that makes me really said and maybe if we suddenly became 3 it would help...
Anyway, I can't help you more than wishing you good luck for you and your partner! Have confidance and don't give in to difficulties!

There's needed a lot of courage to admit and write what you did, you have my respect man!
Thanks @Uchiha_Luffy . Hoping to start the process in the next 12 months or so.
Thanks! We obviously want the healthiest child possible as adoption is a very expensive process, so medical bills on top of that would really suck! As for age, my partner says baby, but I'm thinking more 2 or 3. We are not that picky though. Gender is also not too important, but I have a preference for a boy. We plan to adopt from China, and learn the basics of that language.
You two are really great! There are a lot of young couples as I assume you are (you have 26 and I assume your partner as not 40 y.o) willing to adopt but not many at all avaliable to adopt children from such a different culture as China and to learn the basics of that language!
You really deserve all the luckiness on that so long and trouble process, I'll be praying for you to suceed and "get" the "perfect" child!
Adoption is a brilliant idea Jasanime
All I shall say is go for what you want to do don't let others say otherwise
Great reasons to adopt a child! Bravo...
If I can't find someone to be with then I will adopt a child at least then I can have some sort of a family
@Jasanime you were right about India. I just cannot tolerate to see the kids on the roads. I will donate as much a possible for the orphanages.
I support you to adopt and love them as if they were your own kids. And if you can pay a visit to the place where you adopted your child and give some treats to the other children. I'm sure that they and you will be happy Good luck

At the end of the day you will be making a child's life more bearable and make them feel wanted
What the heck is with this forum that there are a lot of both fun, honest and kind persons on it?!
