Yay or nay?

Also, do you know anyone who was adopted.

Yay. I used to had a friend in Junior High who was adopted.

Yay. Def. yay. And I know a set of twins (Anne + Mary) a girl (Erin) and a guy (Pat) that are adopted. (Not to the same family. Lol.)

yay- my cousins just adopted a girl from china.

also several of my friends are adopted.

yay, my great aunt was adopted.

I think Adoptions great for both parties invovled for the Parents especially if they could never have kids on thier own and for the Kids because they finally get the family they wanted and I just gotta point out thats one of the reasons I MAJORILY look up to Nicole Kidman BOTH of her kids are adopted

Yay for adoption. My godmother is adopted and and one of my friends, her parents have 3 kids and they are all adopted from different families.

I don't understand why you would ask "yay or nay". Why would anyone be against adoption?

I used to have a friend who got adopted when she was a week old.
It must be quite hard for someone adopted to always to have a lot of questions that you would want to know the answers to.

I guess it is because I don't understand why the majority of people see adoption as a positive thing, yet they abort a baby. I mean, have the child and put them up for adoption...

We were talking about this entire thing a few days ago at school so it's just on my mind now.

One of my ex boyfriends is adopted but he has no idea who his natural parents are because it was a closed adoption. He was interested in finding out what his nationalities are and his medical history but was having a hard time doing it. I agree with adoption 100% but I feel that the adopted child should have full access to their biological family info when he/she becomes an adult.

I agree with exactly what you said. My mom's old neighbor adopted a girl from Guatemala(sp?).

I am totally for adoption! There are so many loving couples out there who would love to have a child, but can't have one biologically. I wish women with unwanted pregnancies would do the selfless thing of giving their baby a loving home instead of being selfish and killing it.

I totally agree. :) There's no reason why any baby should have to be aborted if it's not wanted. It's not fair to the child. And, with the exception of rape, all women should accept the responsibility that goes along with getting pregnant and having a baby, since they were the ones who chose to get pregnant, anyway. I think adoption is a great thing to do, as well. I've even been thinking of adopting kids, when I am an adult, from some poor country like Africa or something, because I believe poor kids should get a chance, too.

You all make it sound so trouble free. Some young girls who become pregnant don't live in a loving home. Telling their parents about becoming pregnant gets them beaten or put out into the street. How are they supposed to live in a household like that while they're waiting to put their baby for adoption? And, please, don't lean on that 'they shouldn't have gotten pregnant in the first place' line. It happens, and one of the reasons why it happens is because of a lack of understanding and full and open sex education.

I asked myself the same question when I first started reading this.

I agree.. but there are people who aren't adopted who don't know their history. I hardly know any of my family or background.

Yes, adoption starts out pretty good. It's just when you get older that it might start getting difficult. If I was adopted and I reached 18, I might want to seek out my birth parents. What if I tracked them down and they didn't want anything to do with me? I can't imagine how horrible that must be if that happens to a person. You always have your adoptive parents to love you, but it would still hurt to know that your parents don't want you in their life at all.

Yeah, I agree with you.

Yea, I agree with you there Jenny, but you can also look at it from another perspective. I mean if you thought about it, you can say something like "My parents chose to keep me alive and have my own life instead of possibly being an abortion. If they had decided to go through with an abortion (If it was the other choice) I wouldn't be here right now." No trying to disagree with you or anything, but just adding my own thoughts.

One of my sister's friends were adopted! But, she still looks like her adoptive mother! Which is weird! She's really sweet!:lol:

Yay--There are 2 kids in my chorus who are adopted...and then there was a girl who went to my elementary school who was adopted.

Yay. I know two people that are adopted.

I wouldn't call that "both ways". Either way you have a young girl who is, according to the religious right and anti-choice people, supposed to confide in her parents for help. I wouldn't call forcing an abortiion on the young girl, help. I'd call it child abuse. Just as I'd call beating her or tossing her onto the street, child abuse.
