Adoption Or Real Children

[struthMate]

In todays age what is the best option? I cant see a benefit of bringing a new human into this already overcrowded and struggling world. But adoption does not provide you with the same bond. I would feel guilty if I brought another life into this world. I would not feel guilty if I adopted. How can I sell this to my wife? She thinks the world and humans are amazing and we will continue to rule the earth for a long time

Having now seen your follow up posts I take it this is a wind-up then.

She thinks the world and humans are amazing and we will continue to rule the earth for a long time


Why on earth did you tell us that?
Have you got a different theory?

[gness]

If struthmate is female and struthmate's "wife" is female....."real children" are not an option.....or am I missing something here?

[Mick-Talbot]

You think . O.G?

He's lost his touch. Jeffrey and the push-up bench was way funnier...

I should learn to read the whole thread and take it all in before replying. But why change the habit of a lifetime ? Find a sentence in the OP one can react to and go for it.

poor effort at trolling struthmate - you are not supposed to obvious!

[boxtops]

So you're in it for the money - you've just said so. All that rubbish about bonding with children - and why should you get Government money for doing so, and giving up work, when your wife wants YOUR children, not someone else's. If I were your wife I wouldn't be happy at all.

I vote for wind-up!
;o)

[tenrec]

I adopted three wind ups and they are just as precious as the two wind ups I already had.

[boxtops]

well, that's it, tenrec - you can still have "real children" then take on more of other people's if you have finance and capacity to do so. Some of the most successful fosterers already have a family of their own, grown up.

[pastafreak]

Good grief...with your attitude towards fostering as a way to make big bucks....there is no way you would qualify to care for any children. The important word is care. You're about as caring as a stone.
I hope this is a windup....it would be too scary otherwise.

[struthMate]

No its so I can give up work to take care of the kids. Not in the game to be rich.

[boxtops]

Really? - that's not what you said earlier:

"Its big bucks I cant wait really"

[FredPuli43]

struthMate, you are female, according to your public profile. Who,then, is your wife who needs to be 'sold' your idea and 'who thinks the world and humans are amazing' ? Are we to read 'husband' and 'he' for 'wife' and 'she' ? If so,why did you write of your 'wife' ?

Or are you in a lesbian relationship, in which case what is the point you are now making about giving up work to look after children? ( And you would, logically, have to do that whether or not they were adopted, would you not?)

[EDDIE51]

Even if you were serious arrests for GBH would permanently rule out any chance of fostering or adoption. A couple were refused adoption recently because the man admitted to smoking 1 cigar at Christmas 2 years previously !
I should have realised earlier that this was a 'scam'.

[hc4361]

Wind up or not, there can be no fostering or adopting because of his/her criminal record.

[struthMate]

Oh year sorry no we are both women in legal unity. I call her my wife. We wanted to have our DNA in a new kiddy and she would give birth. The more I think about it the more I like it.

[gness]

:-) Lovely.

Have you to control your violent temper?
