</div><div>My friend turned 21 just a few days before her baby was born. Her original plan was to enter into an open adoption with a friend of the family but she changed her mind. We aren't really close anymore, but her mom came to my bridal shower and was telling me about it.

I want to adopt a kid someday. I need to get my H on board with this. 

sarabear23

Thanks! It put me on the waiting list, so I hope you get your points!

LeiselEB

I ate a ridiculous amount of spaghetti for dinner earlier, and now I'm craving it again. Not cool. 

ArynBaker

I never could decide while in college what I would do if I got pregnant. It doesn't matter now because I never did. Now that I'm working full time I know I would keep it. Not that it matters now because I am not sleeping with anyone. 

I definitely want to adopt. I've always known that. The thing I can't decide is if I ever want to be pregnant.

H and I have decided we definitely want to try to wait until I graduate to have babies, but if it happens now, it happens. We'll just learn to deal with it.

I never knew how I would have handled getting pregnant. It would have been very difficult going through pregnancy and raising a baby with H so far away. 

mica178

I just put myself on the waiting list for the glam bag.  I like the idea of full sized stuff.  I always forget to use my samples that I get from Sephora.

<div>Haha, Poke. Would you be offended if I call you a dork? I swear it's a term of endearment. </div><div>
</div><div>I would absolutely adopt if I couldn't have kids on my own. I do worry though that if I did I'd end up with a child like my sister.

<div>Haha, don't worry, I get called dork or nerd by H on almost a daily basis. </div><div>
</div><div>I'm sorry to hear about your sister. It sucks when someone you grew up with is someone you don't like. It is kind of interesting to think about though. Like, had Charles Manson been raised differently - would he have still done all those terrible things? </div>

ArynBaker

Body spray? Is that the stuff we used when we were in middle school and were too young for perfume? I don't think I need that. Lotion, yes, always. 

Leisel, that's interesting. Usually in my CDFR classes we'd agree that it was 50/50 for nature vs. nurture. I sometimes wonder though. I think some temperments will turn out unagreeable no matter how they're brought up.

My sister and I are really different too, Leisel. We're not adopted, but it amazes just how incredibly different we are. H's dad was adopted into an abusive family and it left a bad taste in his mouth for adoption. It's not that he doesn't support it, but he wouldn't ever do it himself. I think it scares him to think about his kids adopting a child. His biological father was not a good guy either.

sarabear23

I'm on the wait list for both now. I figure I'll try out birchbox for a few months, and see how I like it. The glam bag I'll probably keep longer, from the looks of past bags.

angelsong21

Leisel, that is like my dad and his brother.  My dad is such an upstanding guy -- generous, big-hearted, honest, resourceful, hard-working, etc.  My dad's brother is a sociopath, I swear.  Manipulative, he stole thousands upon thousands of dollars from my dad's parents in their old age, took the estate against my granddad's wishes and sold it to investors, and has lied and cheated his way through life.  I believe most of the time we are pretty evenly a product of nature and nuture, but for some people, I think one can definitely win out over the other.

mica178

H's best friend's sister was also adopted.  Whereas C grew up to be this great, successful guy, happily married with four kids, his sister ended up being a very manipulative, selfish person.  There has to be a nature component, because the nuture was very similar.

Although, I daresay, my sister and I couldn't be more different.  The only thing that I can identify as a reason for us to be so different is that she was much younger when my parents separated, so she had more early developmental time with just my mother raising her (and let's just say that my mom was no fun back in those days).  I think my father always spoiled my sister because he felt guilty that he wasn't around for most of her young life.

Nickivegan

Elliot is adopted, and had the best childhood. His parents are wonderful. He has no desire to correspond with his bio parents, they were 16 when he was born. He was born in a city in NJ, but raised by his parents in Fairfield county, CT. As in, wealthy suburb of NYC. We had decided early in our relationship to adopt, especially since I wanted to since I was 12, and because H is!

zizibet

J, I am also adopted. My parents got me from an agency. The only thing I know about my bio mom is that she had a severe case of gestational diabetes and that she had a child three years before I was born, oh, and that she requested I be raised Catholic, though why she didn't then use Catholic Social Services I have no idea. The pediatrician I went to was atttached to the hospital I was born at, and that info was in my medical records. I snooped once.
   I was adopted at one month, but I was a preemie and I was in the hospital for part of it and then with a foster. My parents named me. I am somewhat curious about whether I have siblings, but not really enough to look that hard. I could pay the agency a small fee and they would read me what they're allowed to of my records, but I can't be bothered. My parents were lower middle class.

mica178

I would like to adopt, but H is scared that we'd end up with a kid like his friend's sister or son.  Of course, if we had a kid, it could end up like my sister, also not a treat.

Or I could just adopt animals.  :P

ArynBaker

Zizi, do you know what your foster parents called you? I feel like it would be weird to be foster parents to an infant with no name. I wouldn't want to give the child a name because I'd know it wasn't really their name but at the same time what would you call him/her for those few weeks?
