'Why Adopt if you can have your own?'

I see this question being asked and answered around blogland and honestly it usually the first question I get when we tell someone about our plans. So lets address it.

~ Why don't you just have more kids of your own? ~

Everyday a baby is born to a set of parent who WANT that baby more than anything in this world. Having two children naturally I can say truthfully that there is no greater experience than bringing life, and a part of you, into the world. Somewhere else in the world a child is losing parents that she NEEDS, LOVES, and  desperately WANTS. It's not the orphan who chooses his or her fate, they can't help what terrible thing has happened to them. I'm a great parent, my husband is a great parent, its our RESPONSIBILITY as great, loving, able parents to step up and take care of these children who did NOT WANT to be orphans. I'm sure that if you gave them the choice, they would choose to have kept there bio parents and family. These children NEED to be loved and cared for, and in a society where we are able to provide a home, a education, a bright future and lots and lots of LOVE ....   why don't YOU adopt? I have alot of love to give and there are alot of needy children out there waiting for a family to give them that love.
