"I could never love a kid that I didn't actually give birth to." Ask them if they love their dog/cat/pet. Most pet owners would say they do, and it's pretty likely they didn't birth that creature.

Ditto. I may not want kids, but if I ever did decide to be a parent, I would adopt an older child. Shame on those who think there's something wrong with that.
