Why you should Adopt

Not my image.

If you read my previous posts you know I recently watched a documentary on girls being adopted from China. I happen to think overseas adoption is a great idea. Here are the reasons why.

1. If you adopt from overseas, generally you'll be helping a child who is in need. Most likely they'll be living in impoverished conditions with little hope for a bright future. This is as good a reason to adopt as any. Share your love with someone who will truly appreciate it.

2. You'll help save the planet. "What are you talking about?" you may ask. It's simple... at the rate we're going the population of the world will reach critical mass in no time. Natural resources will be all but depleted, pollution will choke cities, people will starve. Would you actually want to bring another life into a world such as this? It makes no sense at all.

That's it, that's all. Two reasons. Only two. But, two important reasons if I don't say so myself - Share Love, Save the Earth. Why have children of your own when there are so many without families already? Just to continue the family line? Instead of thinking of yourself I'd suggest helping contribute to the greater good of the planet. Adopt a child.
