I would like to adopt a Rohingya child. Are there any links you can share?

For those who think adoption is easy and there are gobs of kids sitting there waiting, it simply isn’t so. Not only are there few healthy babies (fewer still if you are Caucasian and would also a Caucasian baby or have other specific requests). There are many restrictions as well not to mention fees and studies snd all sorts of barriers. It’s much easier to go other routes like IVF to try to have kids.

+1 I don't think OP means it this way but the wording is like one would use if you wanted to buy a dress or purse.

OP doesn't sound that way at all. You're projecting.

Sorry, she does to me too. There's a clear Savior Complex mentality shining through here.

Is that a bad thing?

It is not a healthy dynamic to adopt children for charitable reasons. You are having another child, just by a different means. You should adopt for the same reasons you give birth (because you want to expand the size of your family).

A child is not a cause (not chastising OP, just trying to educate people who don’t understand why offense might be taken),

C'mon. If you have been on this board for any length of time you recognize the anti-adoption freaks on here. Same writing style.

You are very ignorant.
Adoption is not slavery.

As an adoptive parent, I too am all-too-aware of the same anti-adoption idiots on this board.

Some of us have children old enough to also read these posts.

As above, don't be ignorant.
