For sure! I'd actually prefer to adopt versus have my own kid. There are so many needy children in the world. It's selfish to want to have my one when I can help another one first that is already in the world.
Of course.
I guess if we both wanted a child and we couldnt have one it would be a blessing to adopt
yes
Yes, my wife is adopted...and she turned out amazing. Of course I'm a tad bit biased.
That's sweet! I love hearing good adoption stories. My mom is adopted too! Her relationship with her adopted mother was so close, even more so than a lot of biological mother-daughter relationships.

Yes, definitely. I'm adopted and I had amazing parents.
Yes.
If I wanted kids at all, yes. But I don't so it's a bit of a moot point.
Yes, if we want children we will adopt or steal.
Probably.
Yes.
I agree with the person who said they'd rather adopt than have their own. There are so many children in the world that have no one to love or take good care of them.
Absolutely. I never understood people who said they wouldn't adopt because then it's not "their" kid. I'd love a child whether he/she was mine biologically or through adoption.
No.
I've always wanted to have one of my own and adopt another, or two of my own and adopt one later. Either way I would love to adopt. So to answer the question, if I couldn't have my own I would have no problem adopting.
