There are a lot of unfertile couples out there who want babies. The issue is they want healthy, white babies who they can raise in an ideal circumstance. The problem are the kids over 8 years old, male, black and been through a lot of foster homes with a lot of behaviors. No one wants to adopt those kids.
Are you in it for yourself or for the kids who need guidance, a long term family and have parents willing to do the work involved in undoing the damage their druggy parents or incarcerated for life parents and dysfunctional bio families have done to them?
There are about half a million kids like that Scampy in the US alone. Most kids who are in the system are there because the parents are incapable of raising them. Period. You are going to let them age out of the system? Without parents and permanent homes. Becoming another statistic?
When I adopted my son he was older and black and male. They told me those were the kids that no one would adopt. Male, older and black.
They are great kids. A lot of work. A lot of problems. A lot of time and effort. But in the end you do it right? They got a life. They got an education. They become productive and wonderful people. And they avoid the issues that are about parenting that is irresponsible.
But you can't think of yourself and what the ideal situation should be. Everyone wants a beautiful baby to adopt that looks like their own bio family. You got to set that aside and think of the kids first. What can you tolerate? Some people are great with kids with disabilities like deafness, blindness, or learning issues. Others are good with kids with emotional issues or other issues. You go out there and deal with the kids who you can cope with.
But if the society doesn't care about even the kids who are here already? How are they going to tell the women with the pregnancies? Have the kid? But we won't help you at all. You did not get married first. You did not get a college education first. You are not middle class first. It is ridiculous.
Get some sex ed classes and drive the point home. Protect yourself at all times and you have no business having unprotected sex with people you are not willing to start a family with. It is not worth it. Paying child support for 20 years to a person you don't really love or even like.
But the government doesn't spend on teen prevention sex ed stuff. It becomes....don't talk about sex or you might encourage them to have sex. Hell, they are thinking about it if they are a young teen boy about 150 times a day anyway.
