Pink Prefers Adoption

I have been saying the SAME THING since I was in the 2nd grade literally. Good for her, I wish more people were selfless and saw the bigger picture. I too rescue dogs thats where it all starts lol. And please stop referencing Angelina Jolie EVERYTIME you post about adoption its so annoying and just kind of ingorant sounding. Big deal she adopted 3 kids, she also had 3 so her true motivations are too be questioned.

DEFINITELY right!!!!! I am the parent of an adopted child. That child is loved every bit as much as a biological one. What would have been the point of becoming a Mother any other way? There are children in this world starving.....such a shame. This wouldn't be happening if people exercised birth control. And now, illegals are coming into our country, having kids like rabbits (that we are supporting via school, etc.). Enough is enough. The human race is NOT going to die anytime soon!!!!

Being a parent is rather pesonal. Why do they want to discuss something so personal in public? It's like Jessica Simpson stating that Tony Romo is her Future Baby's Daddy (gag). Who cares? And in today's society, that changes as fast as the weather. This gal is flakey.

To the first post: I don't think having my own kids is being selfish As long as Pink is talking about her own feelings and views I'm fine. It's what's right for her. There are too many kids out there that need homes and that is a very sad thing. I'm not in a place to adopt or to have more kids at the moment. However, I do feel that loving someone so much and wanting to have their child and then carrying and preparing for that child is a wonderful, bonding, magical, natural thing that is not selfish. You can't tell people not to procreate because too many people are irresponsible with it.

Wait hang on, becoming a parent is not about rescuing someone whatever you become a parent through adoption or not.

anon 11:27...i agree...dogs love you no matter what, you cant embarass them, and they never get mad at you or tell you that they hate you. animals really are the best. and as for riviera.....dogs and kids arent the same thing...your right. because kids dont get gassed when there are too many of them..animals do. you wanna save a life. adopt an ANIMAL.

I think being a parent means different things to different people. I don't see anything wrong with her use of the word 'rescue' when referring to adoption. If 'rescuing a child' through adoption means providing that child with a stable environment with all needs met and unconditional love, then that's great! As packed as our planet is right now, imagine, forty or fifty years from now. There'll be even more people then. I think it's wonderful that some people are more interested in adopting than having their own children. That being said, I also don't think it's selfish to have biological children. What I think is selfish is people who are having five, six, or more children these days. You gotta think about how your need to mass reproduce is going to impact others and the environment. A few decades ago it was OK having large biological families. My mom has five siblings. But the people who are starting to have kids RIGHT NOW should be responsible about the number of people they are putting into the world. You might think you have the right to have a million biological children if you want, but grow up already and think about something bigger than your own wants. I'd hope to have a biological child, and adopt.

Adoption isn't that easy if you want a newborn. International adoption isn't that easy either. I'm sure it helps if you're loaded with cash but I've watched many women struggle with infertility and try that route just to end up with empty arms. It's very frustrating, these children need good homes, I wish they'd make it easier for loving couples/people to give those children the love they need.
