How would you measure adoption to raising your own flesh and blood?
Could adoption ever measure up to actually giving birth and/or raising your own child that is made up of your and your significant others genetics?
Do you think a parent could ever have as strong of a bond with an adopted child as their own newborn child; this question would especially apply to women, considering giving birth is hard work with such a priceless reward. I also imagine how proud a father feels that he made a contribution to creating something as special as continuing his own bloodline and watching the child grow up with his own genetics and develop similar characteristics as his.
Art, it sounds like you've made your mind up on the issue, and that is fine, but I think you might want to spend a little time with an adoptive father and ask him.
A couple of famous folks who adopted their children: John McCain, Bob Hope, George Burns, Joseph (father to Jesus), John Denver, Walt Disney, Nicole Kidman ...
A couple of famous adopted kids: Faith Hill, Bill Clinton, Gerald Ford, Jesse Jackson, Eric Dickerson, Nat King Cole ...
Now, you may not think every person listed above is the cat's pj's, but each one of them have made a direct impact on our society.
We would be diminished as a people if those folks had not been adopted or adopted a little child. Seriously, before you close the door totally, call the local agency and ask to talk to an adoptive dad.
You owe that to a child you haven't met yet.
