Is there a difference in the amount of love and care given to children that are born from two parents compared to adopted children? Should it make a difference to the child or the parents? Does it matter if an adopted child is told about their real parents?
My girlfriend and I had a discussion about this actually. I wanted to adopt children because I think it would really help to alleviate the burden being placed on the earth by overpopulation. She wants to have her own child because she sees it as a gift from God. I am only hoping we can come to some sort of compromise and maybe have one of each
*Nods* I really want a big family and I would love to adopt as many children as we can afford after we are finished with bearing our own. I've also considered fostering... though that wouldn't be realistic until after my husband retires and we don't have to move so much.
