Using MySpace to adopt a child

[warbeak2099sgf]

It's not that I'm against using myspace to adopt a child, I think that it is a good way to meet someone who wants to put their child up for adoption but I do believe that a family should go through some sort of adoption agency or like that. Personally I glad that myspace wasn't around in 1988 when I was adopted. I don't think that I would want to find out that my parents found me on the internet. It would just seem like they didn't put in a large amount of effort to adopting a child. I hope that warbeak2099 would agree with me when I say that if I were ever to adopt a child I would never want to find a child on the internet but rather through an agency.

I think we should buy a couple off the black market and sell the ones we don't want for a 10% profit.

my cousin was put up for adoption when he was 9 years old.

he's all messed up now, the doctor that adopted him, him and his wife got a divorce and neither one of them wanted him.... he's way way messed up.

So you think that because it was easy for tyhem to adopt that they love you less? You think it should be hard and very expensive to adopt? Your logic sounds very dumb, and yes that is a flaim.

In all actuality, adoption should work exactly like a dog pound: children kept in small cages, euthanized if nobody buys them within two months. Its a system that has proven to be efficient and effective with the 4 legged critters and logically would then be twice as effective with the two legged ones. That in combination with a Bob Barker/Price is Right campaign to spay or neuter your children would solve many of our societies problems.

In highschool I had a friend write a paper very similar to that.

It included homeless people too.

[kosmo]

Orphans and homeless people are the same thing, really. Orphans are just a little younger. Thats exactly why euthanasia is necessary. If we let them grow old and homeless, they could get rabies and become a public danger.

I certainly think it's reasonable for adopted kids to have unique feelings about their family. I also expect orphans to have unique feelings about how they grew up. Now that I think about it, I bet children from divorced families probably had unique experiences. And, geez, perish the thought, but what about families that experienced untimely death? I mean, wow, that would totally cause a unique experience. Or what if you were unpopular? That would shape your childhood into, I don't know, unique?

Jeez.

No I don't think that it should be expensive, like I said before I think that it is a good way to meet a mother who is pregnant and want's to put her child up for adoption, but I think that a lawyer should be involved no matter how an adoption is conducted.

I totally agree. Everyone has a unique childhood, but those who are a minority of sorts do have a very different childhood. I know that I have, and I have never ever been popular so that i guess plays into my childhood experience in a way.

On another note, this is a subject that I feel very strongly about and I will defend myself to all ends becasue of how I feel and what I have experienced.(if you don't believe me just ask warbeak2099, he knows)...but there are some things that I do agree upon, like that adoption is extremely expensive and tedious, but at the same time it is a very joyful and amazing experience for a family.

And these are uh...

Oh, those are Mr. Lebowski's children

Different mothers.

No...

So racially, he's pretty cool?

[SCpoloRicker]

[laughs] They're not literally his children. They're the Little Lebowski Urban Achievers - inner city children of promise but without the necessary means for a - necessary means for a higher education. So Mr Lebowski is committed to sending all of them to college.

Well you do have to have a lawer involved for it to be legal. It's hard to care for a child if they are not legally yours...to many legal issues would come up with child services. Especially if the child is from another country and he does not get a green card. Kind of a requirement to go through the legal process.

[warbeak2099]

She just wants to make sure that myspace isn't being used as a substitute for the proper and legal process. You know, kind of like how it's used as a substitute for the process of social interaction lol.

What I see being possible is the degeneration of this into people trying to find a quick and easy way to "buy" a kid online. The same people who might want a quick and easy way to raise a child... doesn't exist. Myspace isn't exactly the haven of maturity or security.
