This single chick at work that adopted the baby is a total mess.....the baby would be better off back with it's welfare mother.
At least it would grow up with it's real mom and brother and sister.

This chick offers day-care, health care, and lonliness.....OH BOY!

I think adopting a kid is an even bigger committment than having a kid. You are choosing this child to be a part of your family.

My cousin's kid says she feels no difference towards her 2 kids. Her adopted daughter is adorable and prettier than if she had our family's DNA It is going to be interesting watching these 2 sisters grow up and...

I am pretty sure I would love an adoptive baby as much as my own kids. If I ever win the lottery I would adopt and stay at home. :)

That's a retarded statement that is both naive and uninformed.

The big open end you still have there, sparky, is that everyone has a different idea of how to treat their OWN children. Ergo your statement lends absolutely no constant to the debate.

you should not adopt a kid if you will not love and care for this person as if it were your own biological child.
