Adoption
    #12045466 - 02/17/10 08:59 AM (14 years, 1 month ago)

Hmmm, my life is just not complicated enough. I want the burden of paying and caring for a near-helpless human being for 15 years or so. I also want to encourage other would-be parents to  have children irresponsibly. I do this because there is no other way to feel good about myself. If it doesn't work with one child, I will keep adopting until I fill the hole in my psyche.

Amen.

Don't forget those who take responsibility for aging parents that they don't really care about:wink:. That's going from the frying pan into the fire. I mean,  why just waste the first half of your life?:satansmoking:

Are you speaking specifically about "adoption", or just when people do seemingly altruistic acts with selfish ulterior motives?

It isn't isolated to adoption, the scope is pretty broad...I am not sure what your point is.

:confused:

Is it a statement about adoption in general? No, unless you concede to making a huge generalisation.

Is it that some people adopt children for selfish purposes? How is selfish behaviour isolated to adoption?

What exactly are you trying to get at with your post?
