so we have to hear your opinion but you wont hear ours. sure because you “already know” what we’re going to say. life and people are not miserable and hopeless though you might think that. but whatever.This will be an unpopular opinion on this forum but I think people that want children should stop breeding and start adopting the hordes of unwanted children in the world. We need to get population growth under control. ok thnx.
Just a personal opinion. I have no interest in arguing, I already kinda did that in another thread.
Good day.
Then you need to work on laws that make adopting these hordes unwanted children affordable and easier. Many couples would LOVE to adopt but are unable to come up with the tens of thousands of dollars necessary. Others cannot be approved because they are “too old,” “too young,” “too sick,” “not financially secure enough,” have good jobs that are considered “not stable enough” due to frequent moves, and hundreds of other ridiculous rules and hurdles to jump through. The honest truth isn’t that no one wants these children, it is that many governments and their citizens think that these children should not exist at all so they keep them institutionalized and throw them away as adults.This will be an unpopular opinion on this forum but I think people that want children should stop breeding and start adopting the hordes of unwanted children in the world.

It is unfair. It’s unfair to all involved, especially the kids. I know that there are ways to adopt low cost or free, but MOST families are unable to be approved for any of that. I know so many people who want desperately to adopt and have been on lists for years, but their time never comes. Some are unable to have children of their own, other want to add to their families. The requirements of most agencies are so outrageous that military couples are denied because they move too often, a couple in their early 40’s is too old, a marginal income is too poor–but kids are somehow better off in foster care or institutions instead of with a mom and dad that would love them forever.Great reply. I agree with everything you said.
It’s all a racket. It’s sad that a wealthy single celebrity can easily run over to sub-saharan Africa or southeast Asia to buy an ‘exotic’ toddler that she can brandish around in Hollywood like an accessory while the nice, middle-class, midwestern Christian couple have to jump through all kinds of hoops to adopt a child.
Our entire governmental system is corrupted at nearly every level. However there are legitimate reasons for some the restrictive measures put in place for adoption, but yes they are overkill and unfair.
You put me in my place.
haha, well yeah, I know what you’re going to say…this is a catholic forum, duh! It’s just intriguing how religious folks can be so pathologically pro-breeding in such a godless and dangerous world.so we have to hear your opinion but you wont hear ours. sure because you “already know” what we’re going to say. life and people are not miserable and hopeless though you might think that. but whatever.
Yeah, I agree about life being unfair. Honestly though, I don’t have much knowledge on this topic, and you seem to have personal experience on the issue, so I am going to take your word for it. I was just being glib with my previous post.It is unfair. It’s unfair to all involved, especially the kids.

I’m glad that many families are able to adopt for less money, but for a great deal of people, international adoptions are the only way they have a chance. The cost of visas and travel alone eats up thousands of dollars. Then there are the attorney fees and agency fees. All this on top of the other requirements makes adoption a fantasy for many loving couples.
And yes, celebrity couples tend to not be in this for honorable reasons. Just another example of how unfair life really is.
