:eek3: 45 thousand dollars, whoa! that's too much money. I knew that my husband and I can't afford that much for adopt child.
 
Hi everybody
I am "only" Single Sided Deaf, but I have thought about adoption for many years before discovering that SSD may get worse with pregnancy. This comfort myself and my bf to adopt when we have the legal age.
But how to explain to people why we have chosen to adopt ? Not only because of the deafness, but I am unable to explain the rest :red:


Thanks for your help
 
I am not interested in adopting any babies. I am adopted myself, but rather to have a biological baby. Adoption fees are so expensive plus processing through several red tapes. It is not worth effort for me. :aw:
 
Odd, I feel the way of saying "it doesn't worth the effort" very rude.
First, each case is different, so having a biological kid is no way for me because I risk my hearing, and second last but not leat, be careful because adoptive parents may be shocked by what you say.
I don't judge you, but just be careful.

I am not talking about people in general. I am talking about my own feelings.. just focus on myself. I am sorry if my statement sounds rude to anyone. :shock:
 
No problems, I just wanted to warn you because it really shocked me. :shock:

I think writing makes things more dificult to express our feelings, so that's why I warned you.
 
Cool, I remember one deaf couple adopted two deaf children from Korea. They wanted to have deaf child and went to Korea and adopted two deaf kids but one turned out to have more disabled than they were told by. Be careful when u adopt them, make sure they are only deaf, no hidden problems alike health or mentally challenged.

Yes of course, they are not so cheap. My neice and her husband adopted two sisters from Russia orphanage, wow they costed them alot of money and took more than a year to adopt them.

My classmate in high school is adopted. Her adoptive mother was single at the time she adopted my classmate from Brazil.

Some countries allow that.

What's wrong with adopting a mentally challenged child? They need loving parents, too.

Lucia is right. There are still many mentally challenged children are waiting for new families to adopt them... I hate when people considered those children as 'abnormal' people. :roll:
 
I used to have my dream for adopting four kids from America and other countries but the reality came up and I realized it will not going to happen at all. :(

Personally, I'm sick of being told that adoption is a "bad" choice and told me that I should not have children just because I don't want to have kids of my own... :roll:

People told you that it is a bad choice? That's a mean thing to say cuz there are so many children in a desperate need of loving homes.
 
you know Angelina Jolie? She adopted 3 kids from Africa and Asian. She can afford because she is a richest!

Yes, some of them. When I told them adoptions are not always great choice but it could be wonderful desicion to make, yet they snarled me back that adoptive parents may be 'dangerous' persons. Also, people with no experience of being parent should not to adopt kids. That's what they told me. :roll:

Agreed, indeed. It's just too so mean to say like that... Too bad, some of anti-adoption people are still complaining... Many people, who are against adoption, often take the route of attacking adoption services generally saying something along the lines of 'if you put you child up for adoption they will end up being abused and unwanted. It's better to not have an adoption than for that to happen.' Indeed, this simply and plainly divarts attention from that actual act, which is the rejection of the unwanted children... =/ Adoption is not always a 'lousy' desicion to make... Actually, I think adoption is so wonderful optional to make a desicion.

I would love to adopt but there's too much red tape that prevents us to give loving home to a child who need it most. It's such a shame.

Would love to adopt from cambodia, china.

I have few deaf friends who was adopted by deaf parents.
 
my parents put me up for adoption when i was 2 because it very hard to raise child with disability/deaf! i never get adopted. i live at group home instead. i very sad that i never get adopted. now i live on my own and look for my birth parents! i very excited.
