[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Babies start to bond with their mothers in the womb. So no. [/quote]

You don’t support adoption?[/quote]

NP here, and an adoptive parent.

I support adoption as a solution to a problem, which is children who don't have the option of staying with their families (in my child's case his parents died).   I think it can be a wonderful solution in tragic circumstances, and adoptive families can help kids overcome some of the challenges that come from the original tragedy.

But that doesn't mean I think it should be a first choice for any child. [/quote]

So. It’s still true your child bonded with their mother in the womb.[/quote]

Yes, I thought it was obvious I was agreeing with the top poster that babies bond in the womb, and that saying so doesn't mean I don't "support adoption".

My child was 4 when he lost his first parents so he bonded with them outside the womb too.  I'm really glad we were able to adopt him.  I think that permanency is really important for kids, and it helped us bond.  So, I would say I support adoption.  That doesn't negate his powerful bond with his first mom, and we did bond, that doesn't mean I think people should intentionally create situations where 4 year olds need new parents, or deny that there was a bond.
