I would like to answer your question, but need some clarification: What exactly do you mean by "your kind"? Without the clarification I'm not quite sure how to answer. I want to make sure I answer not only for myself, but also for all of the "my kind" to which you were referring.
Thanks.
Yeah I agree with you. A home is better than none at all. I just think her attitude about marriage sucks.
BRAVO!!! I applaud you P, as well as the women who choose to give loving homes to these babies.
"Wouldn't want to ruin your precious figures birthing your own babies now, would you girls?"
OMGosh! I can't believe you said that. Do you have an issue with adopted children? I think it's wonderful when a healthy young woman who CAN bear children of her own chooses to adopt a child who needs a home. Yea, she could have her "own", but if it wasn't for people who were willing to adopt, what would happen to these homeless children.
By kind I mean those who believe we have plenty of room left in America to keep bringing people into this country.
It's called love, pure, unconditional love for a child.
"I can imagine the routine: wake up, drop the baby off at daycare, go to work. Yeah, that's raising a child."
Plenty of TWO parent families are doing that very thing.
Bump To The Top.
Kind of an apples and oranges argument if you are trying to bring immigration questions into play. The baby girls adopted from China are being brought into the US by their adoptive parents. They have a home and they have financial security. Equating this situation with illegals entering the country makes no sense...
"This is soooo selfish.
"Can't find someone to marry them so adopts a little girl and cheats her out of a Daddy.
Study after study after study is clear - a little girl needs a Daddy too!"
You said, "cheats her out of a daddy"! Why is this unwanted child up for adoption in the first place? I'd rather be a child of a loving mother with no daddy, than live in an orphanage with no mommy OR daddy. sheesh! The unwanted, "up for adoption", child already doesn't have ANYBODY!
"Wow, I am surprised at the responses here. Maybe there should just be more abortions in China, so these baby girls wouldn't be adopted by the selfish Feminazis of the US.
I get it.
/disgust ""
I came into this thread late and am also DISGUSTED BIG TIME with some of the responses I'm reading. From what some of them are saying, they would prefer to have a child, already born, and unwanted to live in an orphanage, or worse, UNLESS, they can be provided with BOTH a mommy and daddy....I could go on, but now I'm just to upset with selfish mindsets...... forgive the rant....sorry
"The children are getting a parent to love them and as a bonus, they are getting out of China."
I agree. Love for a child, any child, born anywhere in the world, is a good thing.
Okay, do you include procreation as one of the things to which you object?
I've read some of your issues with immigration, but your concerns don't automatically fit with international adoption. International adoption has more to do with population growth by procreation. Many parents adopt as an alternative to procreation, choosing to adopt a child already born rather than birthing one. Choosing between those two options has the same impact on the US population.
I don't think there's much room for you to critique these adoptions unless you're also willing to step up and say it should also be illegal to procreate.
"As a single woman who wants children, this same scenario has played itself over and over again. But I just can't do it. Why? Because I want my children to have what I didn't- a father and a family."
In other words, because of your past, you would deny a homeless child your love? Sorry, I just don't get it. We'd all like to live in a perfect world, but sometimes a child is lucky to get just ONE person in the world who will love and cherish them.
"Cart before the horse idiocy. In the dating pool she'll be very attractive...to pedophiles"
"Mind in the gutter" talk IMO.
Maybe I misinterpreted her attitude then... you are right about not going to the sperm banks (which I think are evil anyway).
