Adoption

[Schrammbledeggs]

This entry is going to be about adoption and some people may not agree with my views but then again that's always been the case. I was discussing adoption with my friends last night and I told them that I would NEVER under any circumstances (unless it saved them from death I suppose) EVER adopt a child. This is because I don't want any child that I didn't help create. I just feel that I wouldn't be able to love some random child from the orphanage as much as I would my own flesh and blood. And I owe the child more than just to think of him as "the last resort." Because that IS how I would view the child. I realize it isn't their fault they're in an orphanage but I've spent a TON of my life thinking about how the best thing I can do with my life is being a dad and how much I love children. And I love and have too much respect for children to go down to the Children Store and pick one out like they were a cantaloupe at the produce stand. To me, having children has been a dream and it's an all or nothing deal for me. Meaning I'd either have my own kids or I wouldn't have any at all. That's just how I roll with the whole adoption issue. I would do en vitro fertilization which is just when you take your sperm and the woman takes her egg and they fertilize and the doctor puts it in some other surrogate mother's womb and she has the baby. I would do this because it's still my sperm...it's still my kid. I just don't want to have somebody else's kid.
