Seriously - It honestly breaks my heart to think of the hundreds/thousands of children in this country alone who need a strong parental figure. :(
The concept of bearing my own child is amazing; I think it's INCREDIBLE that I (we, WOMEN) can actually create life - that is so incredibly... amazing.
HOWEVER... I feel that if you have the means, the will, the space, the ability, that you should give a child in need a home, you know?
Not that I think it would be easy; my grandparents took, in a foster boy once and it was really difficult for them. The System is so incredibly twisted that these poor children wind up pretty shaken and disturbed.
I have HUGE amount of respect for anyone (or any
couple) who want to adopt or foster a family; it takes a LOT of work and a whole lot of Heart. I think that more people should consider these means.
