Now, pregnant teenagers abort their woulda-been firstborns, and second-borns too. And yeah, a lot are still opting to parent without a husband.

That's why there seemingly aren't any newborns available for adoption except for man-on-man partners... apparently the high bidders.

Amazingly, a lot of subfertility is caused by relatively minor hormonal and even nutritional deficiencies. I hope this couple has checked out NaProTech - Natural Procreative Technology, which addresses underling health issues and results in successfully achieving pregnancy naturally.

It costs a tiny fraction of what IFV costs,it doesn't kill your embryonic offspring, and it addresses women's health in a holistic way. It's the kind of advance that actually respects human beings.

“Now, pregnant teenagers keep their babies and make the their kids’ live miserable.”

While MTV cameras follow them around...

4 years later: “Please help us pay for our children’s needs”
6 years later: “Please help us pay for our children’s education.”
Etc.,etc...

If you’re from New York, you don’t even have to donate to help them out financially. Your turn comes when they’re on welfare.

Granted, he’s working at WalMart but she’s got a job in MANLIUS as an accountant!!!

And they’re begging for money to help with in vitro?

If they managed their finances better, they’d be able to manage that.

I don’t think we would ask for donations, and all of that stuff is expensive. We had a brutal year of medical expenses, and we recovered, but our parents lent us 10k a few months ago. We paid them back last week. My wife is pregnant with twins. Its been a emotionial few years. She had a horrible hernia operation when she was a toddler and corrupted one of her tubes(we found that out together, she was crushed ) When your wife wants a child, you might do anything to give her that expierence of child birth. And we are in the midst of adopting a baby from S. Korea(Mrs. Jrzguy is from S Korean). All I know is we are so excited to have three children in our home within the next 7-15 months. I hope these folks find peace with however the events unfold.

"I'd really like to have a mini-me."

all about me

And I'm sure he'll name the poor unfortunate "Jr." Have you ever noticed that women almost never name their female children after themselves? No, it's a male ego thing, pure and simple.

Yes my thought also, adopt! There are so many children in need. Oh and I want a Ferrari, I wanted one as soon as I got my license but Al Gore had not invented the internet yet, can I still ask other people to buy it for me? And I was thinking maybe I might even put in some money of my own.

Lots of Ignorance on Parade in this thread. Perhaps you simplistic "adopt a kid" posters might want to look up the costs of adopting in the States and Internationally. Wait, I'll spend the extra 30 seconds and do it for you.

According to adoption.com: Agency and private adoptions can range from $5,000 to $40,000 or more depending on a variety of factors including services provided, travel expenses, birthmother expenses, requirements in the state, and other factors. International adoptions can range from $7,000 to $30,000.

Oh, and let's not forget we're dealing with government agencies who often have the best interests of the biological parents (and occasionally the kids) when people try to adopt. You know, the same government agencies that are regularly lambasted on this site.

Spare us your cliched and unhelpful responses. And unfortunately, the racist comments in this thread didn't help either.

My wife and I adopted a child three years ago through the state. He was just turning 3, and it cost us virtually nothing.

Sure, if you want that white new born, it will cost you.
If you just want a child to love, it is a lot easier than you might think.

IVF: murdering 6-10 little babies so you can manufacture one.

Have to disagree with you.

Most reputable clinics will not treat the babies with anything but tender care. Implantation does not always take but that is part of nature.

The days of implanting numerous babies in the hope that one takes is a thing of past for reputable places.

And as someone who is trying to adopt I can tell you that it is expensive and risky. Adopting from overseas is even more expensive and risky.

Wife and I both agree. When we adopt the child will be potty trained.

Call that crazy octomom. She’s probably let a few go about now.

I looked into adoption very seriously when my husband and I were trying to have kids, and found that KosmicKitty is exactly right. It’s quite difficult to adopt these days unless you’re willing to take an older child, usually with issues of some kind, or go out of country. (I admire people who will take a kid with issues but frankly that idea scared me to death.) It’s expensive to adopt, as well. When people told me, “You should ‘just’ adopt!” I knew they had never taken five minutes to find out the realities of adoption these days.
