Adoption is different than giving birth? People like you annoy me when you separate adoptive parenting from giving birth and thinking the kids are somehow different. 4 kids are 4 kids regardless of how they join your family.


Of course it's different. Adopted kids come from a different vagina and a different set of genes. Often, even when feeling loved by their parents, adoptive kids grow up feeling like they "don't fit" or wanting to discover their heritage to find out who they really are. Sure, my adoptive parents wanted and loved me, but I will still go through life not feeling a sense of identity or connected. It's okay and it's life, but to say biological and adoptive kids are the same just isn't true.

People who think only certain people with a certain set of conditions are *allowed* to complain about anything.

FFS, life is hard. It's harder for some people, no doubt. And some of the difficulty is the result of choices me have made, and some of it is just random. That doesn't mean people aren't allowed to express emotions about it.

I also think it's easy for an outside observer to backseat drive someone else's life, but there are always details you don't know and circumstances of which you aren't aware.

People who make really bad choices and complain about their lifestyle. IE: living paycheck to paycheck but spend money on frivolous things like smoking cigarettes, drinking soda, paying for expensive cable, internet, and expensive cell phone. Then bringing children into the world that they are unable to support emotionally and financially.

I don't separate the kids as "different" but as a PP said, I don't see the point ingoing thru adoption processes if you don't want to give up the basics. It isn't as if you had a surprise pregnancy.

Adopting four children is often more expensive and difficult process than having children naturally, absent need for,fertility treatment. The logical assumption would be that someone had a great desire for children and would be more likely to make sacrifices (such as free time) for the sake of having children
