For who? The person adopting? Or the adoptive person?

Year by year the number of abandoned children is increasing,and it's really very terrible. On my mind,people who adopt orphan children are very brave,because they don't afraid of problems which can appear with child. They believe that it is possible to make family relationship with strange cchild,to make him feel being like in his own family.

I think that it's a bad thing if you have your own children.

Good. Some people could be the better parent for those who deserve it even if they already have children.

Bad, as the children would have been lost from their parents. They would have other parents to take care of them, and they would most probably fall into the hands of a bad person.

Good. I think that adoption is a chance for children. Anyway it is better than orphanage. Of course some people may think other children will mistreat adopted child, but nothing is impossible. the only thing that you can create a new family to abandoned child makes no doubt in this decision.

On my mind, adoption is very good for children,because orphanages can't give them everything what adoptive parents can. For example, parents' love and care or a good education. In addition, the atmosphere in orphanages is not unfavorable for children,especially for little babies.

Umm, why bad?? if there is a child who has no family and has to live in some horrible care home, what could possibly be bad about adopting a child. You give them a way better life, and you feel better as a human being!!

In my opinion adoption is really good thing for children who were abandoned by their real parents. They will have a good chance for new life with happy family. Today a lot of young couples haven't got children and unfortunately they can't. So adoption is really good chance for them to have kids. They will look after kids from orphanage like their owns. If parents who adopted boy or girl are really good people, they will give terrific life to this boy/girl in the future like studying in a good university.And I believe that this life will be better than life in orphanage or after leaving orphanage.

As we live in the world, people can face with some problems that connected with family life.(some parents are disable to have a child, and children who do not have a family) Adoption is good! As for parents and children. Both sides will have a chanse and hope to live.

I believe adoption is a great way for people without children but want them to connect with children who don't have parents and want or need them.

I want to be adopted by Bill Gates... or that buffet guy. ;)

Well, it's one of them two-edged swords. A lot of children are put up for adoption because they're in situations where it's the best thing for them. Their parent(s) are either deceased or simply unable to care for them. So, it helps the kid to be in a good home.

And being raised in a group home generally isn't ideal. However, a lot of foster homes aren't that good either.

I have two different friends of mine who were raised by adoptive parents. And they were raised in good homes by good people. Yet they're both scarred emotionally. They were adopted as infants, so there really wasn't any events that they could recall. Still, there's this sense like "if my own mother could walk away from me, who won't walk away?" And even when you point out the obvious, that someone actually chose to have them, it's no solace. They feel like something's wrong with them and they don't fully trust anyone, even as adults.

When parents leave their children they do not understand how strong it can influence on children's psYchology. As it has been said before they won't trust people even if they are adults. But adoption is the way to help them. My grandfather has lived in orphanage and I know what kind of life is there. everybody knows that family is the most important part of our life and without parents you won't feel yourself as a human. It is our source of inspiration.

There are so many lonesome children who want someone to love them. Adoption is good.
