Not really in the mood for long winded pointless posts so I'll stop posting in here.

Yes and no. I mean, is your desire for your child to be of your own DNA really more important than an orphan having a real home?

Well if I say that I'd like to have one child of my own then I guess it is. Just like some people don't want children at all, I don't want to adopt one, it's not for me. If that makes me a heartless bitch, so be it. I've made my decision already.

At least you're not throwing up BS rationalizations. I mean, a lot of the "childless" could be considered heartless for leaving orphans to their misery as well.

I think selfish is more appropriate than heartless, but at least you own it. We all have things we are selfish about.

Honestly I'd rather let other people who cannot have children adopt.

There's more than enough to go around..

That's too bad but I still don't want to adopt. The adoption process in Canada is a long and difficult legal ordeal that I don't care to get involved in.

Yeh, I got that the first time you said it. I'm not trying to talk you into it.

It's a pain here too. Hell, it's a pain to adopt an animal from a pet store. It's unfortunate because I think it probably deters a lot of good people from doing it.

If a couple wants a child bad enough and can't have any of their own they'll put up with the the system until they get a child. I was adopted, my birth mother was adopted, and my brother has two adopted girls (he's gay). I understand it's not for everyone, but honestly, once a child is adopted I think the love just naturally grows. I don't get the insistence some people place on having a kid that looks like them. My brother is ugly as hell, I'm glad his kids have a different look.

Not knocking you BD, I'm just sayin'
