Quote From: chefnataschai am %100 in favor of adoption. our planet is hugely overpopulated and it is criminal the way some people reproduce these days. we could save this beautiful planet if we would just have/not have children in a responsible manner. my husband and i are not going to have any biological children, we decided that before we got married because we are both aware of the grave damage overpopulation has done. if we ever decide we would like/can afford children we will adopt. we should not keep adding so many polluting, consuming humans to our planet, she can't take much more of this. smaller human populations mean fewer cruelties to the planet and all her animals.
Americans have far fewer babies than many other societies. You are thinking with your head, which is right for you.
Some of us think with BOTH our heads and our hearts. God had a plan for us (and to anyone who believes and doesn't pick and choose which of His teachings to follow). That plan involves procreation.
The greatest gift my husband and I gave to eachother is our precious children! And our children are giving back to this world by being great citizens and volunteering their time to feed the poor, etc.
So there are OTHER ways to save this planet and one of them is to procreate and send our children out to help save others and this planet!
