Why You Should Choose Adoption

All you need to know about adoption; is it the right choice for you and your partner, or your

family if you already have children.

For many people unable to have children of their own, adoption is the only answer to their

prayers. It answers all the hopes and dreams of ever having a child they can call their own.

Many people all over the world are not able to have children due to health reasons or who have

tried I.V.F. (In Vitro Fertilization) treatment and been unsuccessful. Some have tried may

fertility treatments and still been unable to conceive. To experience so much disappointment is

heartbreaking when a couple is desperate for a child. To be told by their doctor, that they will be unable to have children naturally is enough to shatter anyone's dreams.

If a couple cannot reproduce adoption is their only alternative and not a decision to be taken

lightly. It takes a lot of time, research and discussions with health professionals for a couple to decide on whether this is the right option for them. For many couples, adoption provides them

with any hope of raising a child they can call their own. Sometimes it is enough to find

happiness in other people's children, related or not. The opportunity of becoming a family is a

privilege and being parents can bring a lot of happiness and joy. Couples usually start by

adopting one child, and then some years later, they may decide to adopt another.

There are other reasons for choosing adoption; some couples can conceive and reproduce, but

opt for the alternative to adopt. Families used to consist of many children, up to five or more

children. These days due to the cost of living and with couples both working, today families

usually consist of one, two or even three children. It is only a few who choose to have larger

families. To be financially secure, having a family and working is usually important. A mother

will usually take maternity leave, then return to work either part-time or full-time, however they feel as there are also childcare fees to consider. By choosing to adopt, a couple are providing a

home for one of millions of children in care around the world; children who are looking for a

loving home and parents to love them. Luckily, for these children, couples who actively seek to

adopt realize this need and choose this path, rather than reproducing their own. It is truly a

selfless act when a couple decide to adopt and a lot of admiration for deciding to take on a child that is not genetically their own.
