In Reply to: Now he wants to ADOPT a boy.... posted by Sara on July 12, 2003 at 19:48:34:
: Since we have 3 girls and no boys,and I don't want to try again with the fear it might be another girl and disappoint him(Plus 3 now is kind of hard to handle) he wants to adopt a boy.He'd be so happy to finally have a son but then i'd feel like we were taking from those who can't have children for medical reasons or something. What are your thoughts?
In my opinion you should be thinking about the child you will adopt, although there are many couples who are infertile and want a baby for medical reasons, there are probably double of the number of kids without a house. So I don't see you taking a baby away from anyone, but rather giving a needy kid a family. Besides, my dad wanted a boy, my mother tried and tried and had 3 girls - then she tried a 4th time, it was a BOY! They were very happy until the baby died at 5 months old and my mother suffered so many complications, she cannot have any other kids. So somethings are just meant to be and 3 girls is all my dad got.
