Though I know how pushy some can be. My DH and I were having some infertility issues and a cousin of his in India asked if we wanted to adopt his 10yo and 8 yo seeing as we were having trouble. (!!!!)

A lot of family members chimed in that they thought it was the perfect solution to everything. I was shocked at what they were suggesting.

If they were struggling to raise the kids, its actually a pretty common thing to do.[/quote]

Yes, that's what they were thinking. But the infertility roller coaster was hard enough.

No way were we adopting kids whose parents were still alive and they weren't in an abusive situation.

With private adoption that’s how it works.  Parents alive, kids not abused. [/quote]

You ever had infertility? You have to bury that dream before you think of moving on to adoption. And honestly, we wanted "our baby" not some kids who wanted a chance at better schooling but would still have parents expecting a say in their lives (I know these cousins, they would absolutely expect input.) This would be adoption in name only as I realized at the time.
