if you were to have kids when you were older

would you want to adopt or have a child of your own with your wife/husband gf/bf?

 

lalalala

 

well, I'd adopt because the world is over-populated enough as it is, and I'd like to rescue one child from a potentially crappy life.

 

I'd want one(s) of my own, unless of course I was found to be incompetent.


Incompetent is the word, right?

 

Well, that would be contingent on my spouse... or if I was umarried, I may. Depending on my situation. I've been considering moving somewhere further south with a good music scene.

 

Well, I voted my own but after I read your posts acetone, you made a good point about over population and saving a kid's life. I really don't ever plan on having kids. I like to roam too much. I don't think it'd be the ideal way to raise a kid when you roam all over the place and if my plans are correct, I'll be down in South America and I wouldn't want to raise a kid down there.

 

I want one of my own because then you and your spouse/love have something that you made and another adopted because there are alot of kids without families

 

I wouldn't adopt just because I wouldn't like to raise someone that isn't mine

 

I agree with the adopt policy.. but I am unsure in reality which I would choose, maybe a combination of both.. of course it would be largely influenced by the wishes of my partner..

So yet again I cannot vote!

 

Yup ditto that

Incompetent = incapable, useless

So yes perhaps if you were an incompetent parent you wouldn't want children.

Think the word you were looking for is impotent.

 

it would be nice to rescue a kid from a orphanige but i wanna have my own kids to raise and teach them music from the start and watch em' grow

 

i'd want to have a kid of my own with someoen i love. i don't know how to describe what it means to me cause i've never been in love, but i bet it would be a special feeling to me and that girl.

 

thats EXACTLY what I said to someone the other day when I had this conversation. how wierd.
we may not be able to save the whole world but to one person, it means the world to them if they can have parents.
i get sad when thinking about all the kids who are orphaned just waiting to be adopted. waiting for someone to come along and choose them to be their kid. thats so sad ya know? I have a few friends who have been adopted w/in the last 2 years, I was even there when 2 of them were adopted, it was really an emotional yet happy moment. I even cried cuz i was so happy for them. they came from a really awful home and then they were adopted. Thing is you dont have to be a little kid to be adopted either, they were in their teen years when they were adopted. and I dont know so my point is, IF i were to EVER have kids(which I dont really want kids) but if i were, I'd like to adopt at least one.

 

I'd eat them

 

im fairly sure you're not a hamster. try again.

 

HAHA... Not Hamsters/Hampsters/hempsters again!

or maybe infertile?

 

here...just to maybe clear it up


infertile

1. Not fertile; unproductive or barren.
2. Biology.
1. Not capable of initiating, sustaining, or supporting reproduction.
2. Not fertilized and hence incapable of growing and developing: infertile duck eggs.
3. Not capable of sustaining crops or vegetation: infertile land.
4. Unproductive or producing little: a path of research that proved infertile.


im·po·tent

1. Lacking physical strength or vigor; weak.
2. Lacking in power, as to act effectively; helpless: “Technology without morality is barbarous; morality without technology is impotent” (Freeman J. Dyson).
3.
1. Incapable of sexual intercourse, often because of an inability to achieve or sustain an erection.
2. Sterile. Used of males.
4. Obsolete. Lacking self-restraint.


in·com·pe·tent

1. Not qualified in legal terms: a defendant who was incompetent to stand trial.
2. Inadequate for or unsuited to a particular purpose or application.
3. Devoid of those qualities requisite for effective conduct or action.

haha as if anyone really cared to know the difference between these three

 

I basically knew the difference but now I have a far more indepth knowledge .. ha

 

drinking from the fountain of knowledge

 

I want to have 4 of my own children, unless I physically can't have my own children, then I'd adopt from South America.

If I'm financially stable, after my children start to get older I'd like to have Hispanic foster kids and possibly adopt (although only if I have enough money to support them and put them through college without worry). Raising Hispanic children, who (from what I've seen) tend to fall through the cracks the most in the system, would be rewarding to me and my future family because we would learn so much from each other linguistically and culturally.

I want my home to always be full of children- be they my own, adopted, foster children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, exchange students, and all their friends.
