| Cindy | Posted: Apr 11, 2005 05:53:48 AM This has GOT to be a joke! Why would you want a child if you aren't going to spend time with it? I don't understand. | ||
| Kat | Posted: Oct 13, 2004 02:41:47 PM I don't think you know what you will be missing out on. What is the point of having a child if you won't spend anytime with that child. Having children is NOT a right, it IS a privlage! I am a single mother, and I love my child more than life all I want to do is spend time with her. Being a working mother is one thing, but if you want a child to have somebody ELSE raise them you need to reconcider. | ||

| Anonymous | Posted: Sep 21, 2004 12:24:35 PM WOW!! Is this a ligitimat question or concern? Or just someone mocking adoption in general? Money is not everything. This is a child you are considering, if you are really ligitimately considering adoption that is. A child is important and they need to feel that way. There are so many issues to go with your statement! So many caring families out there would put more time and energy into a child. Go ahead and put these comments on your adoption form. Perhaps someone out there would consider you... See what happens. You would basically adopt through paperwork and your family would have a child to spoil? Is tha what they want? Are they into adopting then, why don't they apply to adopt and give you visitation to your new family member. | ||
| Wilma Fellings | Posted: Sep 20, 2004 01:44:50 PM I am a high profile career person, who spends about 14 hours a day away from home. I would like to adopt a baby...simply because I think I have a right to have a child. Question: Do I need to raise this child. My 85 year old mother said my husband could drop the child off early in the morning (about 6:00am) and that her daugher (60 years old with teenagers) could watch the child. My husband could pick the baby up around 5:00 ish, when he closes up his business. My sister-in-law could bathe the baby and take him/her to the doctor for check ups, whatever. Do you think this arrangment would work? I want so much to have a baby. I have a ton of money, so money is no object. Thanks. Oh, and would really like a white baby, and would go to a state where the mother would be forced to sign over the child irrevocably. | ||
