I agree. I’ve been feeling the same.. and I know its easier to think about adopting when your nowhere near that stage but I really just pray that my intentions only grow stronger with time and that one day, I will adopt. Inshallah.
CB: I really hope things work out for you, i’A. You both would make awesome parents and any child would be blessed to become a part of your home and life..

awww Rainy … .. thanks so much for your very kind words my dear
Re: Child adoption ..
This thread warms my heart :). So many of you want to adopt children. I am so proud of you all! :)
I barely know any people in my life, except for my partner and best friend, who have actually, seriously considered it. So, it feels good to see it here :), in abundance.
It is interesting how on Friday, I was thinking about what adopted kids go through. How they bear the pain of knowing that in some capacity, their biological parents aren't there for them? And how much must that hurt? And then, if the couple has any biological kid of their own, what feelings might that create for the kid?
child adoption is indeed a very responsible and admirable act...
anyway...so far as in my real life what i have seen is dat one family...some aunty in our relatives..she had just one son after several miscarriages and they badly wanted to have a baby girl ...the son himself was very keen about it..anyhow they adopted one girl and ...uss baychari k sath janwaroo jaisa behaviour kia jata tha...itna zayada ussko marti thee aur abuse krti thee..
usska bhai aur uncle to pyar kertay thay ussay...but mashallah the aunty was so greedy...jub koi unki(adopted) baiti ko paisay daita like wehn guests come over to ur place and give children some money..like that to wo ussk paisay tuk rukh laitee .ussko footpath say ya rairee walay say eid pur koi chapal...sunday /tuesday market say koi kupra ly daitee aur kehti wo jo paisay thay tumharay yeh mai unmai say ly kur dia hai aur ub wo paisay khatum hogaye hain...aur baad mai usi k paison say apnay liay achay say acha khareddti thee..yeh to wo upnay muh say suna chuki hain k mai issk paisay rukh laitee hon...unsay baad mai upnay liay kuch na kuch ly laitee hon... khudh 1 say bur kr 1 alla kupray aur jootay aur pata nai kia kia...i still feel so bad about that girl..pata nai unho nay kaha say li hai...some ppl in our family say k jhoolay say uthaaye hai...
ub to khair wo kafi barri ho chuki hai..Allah he ussk haal pur rahem kray...
so plz all those who want to adopt..be very truthful about it...Allah ko jawab daina hai..pata nai log yeh kio bhool jatay hain..
Re: Child adoption ..
^ thats terrible!! why adopt a baby girl only to abuse her?? what is wrong with people??
Re: Child adoption ..
uetian's story just shows that some ppl are just not fit to adopt a kid, and thats why in US the homestudy type programs are in place.
Re: Child adoption ..
CB, we've discussed the idea of adoption and inshallah will be doing so. As for acceptance on both sides, to be honest it ain't an issue on my side, my mum actually wanted to adopt when I was younger and understands the issues surrounding adoption and how honesty is the best policy when it comes to telling a child they are not your biologically but they are more special because you wanted to bring them up because you fall in love with their little face.
On the other hand my OH family ain't like that-my father-in-law is ace, and loves kids but when it comes to the others I cant garentee anything. So here is the plan-inshallah when we start a family of our own, we will Inshallah adopt. We're looking at adopting outside of the UK-Russia to be honest (and that was inspired by a thread of GS). What we will do is wait for our first to be about 7/8 months and then adopt a child of a similar age. Now before I'm hounded by everyone I do have my own personal logic behind this. Two kids growing up together and treated the same will inshallah have a stronger bond which will defo help out adopted child in the long run. Plus, a younger child will find it easier to accept a sibling (rather than say a 6 year old who has been centre of attention for a while).
My personal vote goes to the younger a child is the better the age to adopt. I know that sounds harsh, as a lot of children out there maybe older and require a home too, but I don't think I could bring up a child if they were older. We've also looked at what would happen if we wished to adopt a baby and they had an older sibling-we'd adopt them too (as long as they were under 2) too.
Hope that helps. CB, are you considering his at the mo hun?
