I want kids and I'm not in long term relationship nor do I see myself being in one anytime soon. So the chances I will have a biological child at this point in my life are slim. But I don't think I want to wait anymore. There are millions of orphaned children in Africa that need a parent. I'm strongly considering flying over there and applying to adopt one.

What are your thoughts on this?

chaos, now you're just making posts to get reactions. So everything you post is supposed to be some kind of joke, I see?

Publicaccess, I'm not quite sure why you've taken this approach with me. If you want to treat my posts as jokes, that's your prerogative.

Let me ask you something. If you wanted a child and didn't have a significant other, would you consider adoption?

I want to give my child every advantage it can get in life, so I'm going to raise it in a two parent household.

Let me ask you something. How are you going to explain that hole in your hammock to your adopted child?

Let me recommend waiting to adopt until you're mature enough to handle having another human life in your household.

You know what? Many successful human beings were raised in single parent household. Obama for instance. Besides, I have a large extended family around me that would add greatly to the child's quality of life.

And you're just plain naive if you think being concerned with penis size affects how well you raise a child. So why even bring it up?

Yeah, and I think every person raised in a single-parent household would say they would have preferred a two-parent system.

And you don't think the kid's gonna ask you why daddy sleeps on a hammock with a hole cut in the bottom instead of a bed??

Also, when did chaos start believing that Obama was a successful human being? I thought he was responsible for everything wrong with America, etc.

Yah, chaos, you're a joke.

I didn't say Obama was a good human being, just a successful one.

Crob, any thoughts on adoption? Would you ever consider it?

My relationship with my gf isn't exactly what you'd call long term. We've been dating for just over a month and not exclusively.

So jglass, any thoughst on adoption?

Mike, please don't post your b.s. on this thread. It's not a joke.

And Azuzu, we have decided to wait til marriage to have sex, that doesn't mean we are getting married, just that we don't believe in fornication. There's a lot of people who don't believe in having sex until they're married.

But this thread is about adopting an African child. What do you think guys?

Mostly people with deformed genitalia.

Haha. Back in the '70s, Ted Nugent adopted a 17 year old Hawaiian girl he was dating. Is this your plan, Mike?
