is it important to be a biological parent?
nowadays is popular to adopt children. People who do it belive that to be a biological parent is not important, is more important to grow and to be near and share a important moments of life with a child. But in my opinion blood plays a big role. understanding that he(she) your flesh and blood make you a real parent. when you find a similarities in characret and in appereance with your child, it gives a not interchangeable sense of kinship. I belive that to be a biological perent is important!

I think it's true that blood take a big part in relationship between parents and their children. In my point of view to be a biological parent is important. In some cases most of people adopt children just because they can't have the own, it's the reason number one. When people have own child, moreover they adopt one more children it is really good, but i think that parent's behavior a little bit different to those kids. In this situation biological side influence to the relations. I hope that there are somebody who have the real example from life to disagree with me. Side: for

This isn't really a for or against debate as our choices for a side is given... But I don't think it's important for the parents to be biological parents when raising a child. They may even be better than the biological parents, because there's a reason the biological parents aren't raising their own children. Blood has nothing to do with raising a child. It all has to do with love. And adoptive parents give their children just as much love as biological parents. Only they worked harder to get their children. Side: against
I agree that adoptive parents can give as much love as well as biological. but do not forget about the genetics and pedigree. all of us, and especially men want to continue the race. one of the most famous examples is the relationships between Genghis Khan and his eldest son Jochi. He was not quite sure what Jochi his own son, and because of this he always to deprive him Side: for
Do not forget about people who cannot have children by their own and the fact that all adopted children were wished. I mean that non-biological parents adopting child just if they wish it. Therefore such parents never regret about children and their baby raising in love. Nowadays too many women who are giving the birth without any wish.To my mind no one wants to be an illegitimate child and raise without one parent. Side: against

Genghis Khan Look at my avatar, it's nice to see my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great granddad mentioned. Although you would be right in saying he doubted the paternity of Jochi, he wasn't deprived "always". He played a central part in many conquests of central Asia, and although Genghis did choose Ogedei as his successor, it should be noted that Jochi defied Genghis, not the other way round. And Jochi still had an equal share in Genghis' empire. Just thought I'd clear that up. Carry on. Side: for
People who do it belive that to be a biological parent is not important Wait, what? Many people who adopt are doing so either because they cannot reproduce or because they feel that those children who have no parents (or otherwise will not be raised by them) deserve a home. It isn't that they believe biological parents aren't important. But some people, both children and potential parents, won't have that luxury. So it is an alternative. understanding that he(she) your flesh and blood make you a real parent. Does this count people who abuse or abandon their children? Side: against
the question arises, what are more important nature or nurture? in my point of view, nurture has greater influence than nature. there are a lot of examples then adopted children even look like their parents. of course in some cases genes overcome all the other factors, but still being foster parent necessery in our society. one of the best argumet fot it is orphans who are able to have a chance to have parents, so it is not important to be biologically related to the parents Side: against
i did not say that adopted parents are bad than bio, and they can't give a love to a child.i agree whith you. but what about some other situations? one of them is when you (especially men ) is not sure that a child who you raise is not your biological son or dauther? About 30% of men raise not their bio children , and dont know about it Side: for
