I was just on another board where me and a couple 25yr olds were arguing about adoption.
I believe in adoption, and the women were complaining of th costs. They were given a price of $12,000 for the infant and stated that even if they had the money, they would have to wait an eternity on a list.
I suggested adopting an older child, which may cost less and take a lot less time..... and the argument i got was "im young, and want to grow and learn with my child. im inexperienced to deal with a child's baggage". She went on to say that it is like "juggling where you start with one or two balls instead of a bunch".
I was SMH. So i asked if she gave birth to a baby with a heart condition would she put it up for adoption? afterall she is inexperiecned with heart conditions in infants. I tried to explain that it is selfish to want to meet your own needs without wnating to fill the needs of the child. in that case we might as well just euthanize the older children who are too damaged for anyone to love. Damaged was actually a word she used in her argument. She wrote back, "The thread was about the price of adoption... not which child i should get"
I'm glad she doesnt have a freakin kid cause IMO her thinking is sooo twisted.idk.. maybe its just me.
