Happy Adoption


My potential man and I plan happily to adopt several in China. (But honestly for me, one/two is pretty enough.)

For this same mission we can be happy together-apartners:

Why to adopt?

1) There are many abandoned girls to be loved.

2) Not sure abt a by ourselves, especially Macanese . Facts turn out they tend to absorb negative things fm both culture if brought up in Macau tiny island environ. But can choose by adoption.

3) So enriron-friendly. Not adding more pollution to the earth.

I sent an email to my 28-y-o Beijing cousin, she worked in adoption 'business' before.

(I say business is not exaggerated. We saw many many Americans, mostly mid-aged to old or even very old couples, push their adopted babies in trolleys strolling around Shan Mian, the consulates area in Guangzhou. Some parents look in bad shape. We doubt how they could benifit the . )

When she returned a mail saying she has the same thought but just having not a partner, i felt so happy to know that and to know her better.

For Chinese, they want more their own , would we dissappoint our family? Guess they will be half happy and half sad. haha...

Let's see...

Nam, Gaon, DVC,

Excuse me for coming late and just a short note. Lately i worked for a BBC project in Macau.

Well, no. 2. If the child is a mixed, risks are that he/she would be lost in two dif. cultures. Might just absorb negative elements in them. Lota Macanese here (by Asian and Portuguese) present not-good examples. But, still, there are good examples. I am saying risks are there.

No. 3. One more baby, one more human will add burden to the earth. So easy to understand, pls see to China's birth control.

I guess by instinct or nature, our own children is a better selfish choice for ourselves. But...

Er, some control, some explode.

So the no. is counterbalanced, or explosion takes over control.

Seems not much pro. for my happy adoption fm experienced daddies.

Goan,

I like listening to dif. opinions to facilitate my decision. Now i might re-consider this. Hehe...

By any means, a 'blooded' child is more intimate and genes guarantee. See how contraditious i am

pest,

well-rounded info. U must have been a mom yrself.

I know, single life w/b upside down but both families (if i have enough luck to have a bf/hubby to give me a child) would give me great support. Then to add 1 or 2 adopted children sounds great, also good for children to feel not alone.
