Just my own thoughts. Everyone has different lifestyles and different needs. I have thought of adopting a child and when I do adopt, it will be an older child perhaps 2-3 years old and I very much know deep inside that will be the best for me. Not everybody wants to go through the baby phase and I think it is perfectly acceptable to not want to and there are a lot of older children out there who deserves a home too. I am at that phase where everyone is asking when are you gonna have a child and a lot of my friends already do. Honestly, I love kids for that few hours where I get to play with them but I have no instinct of wanting to be a mother, to have a child of my own. It's hard to explain perhaps I am not at that stage of life where I am the happiest and know that I can provide myself with everything that a child needs and until then, the instinct will not come. My dog do not replace having a human child but I love him dearly as my pet and I do spoil him because he is all mine to love. |
