I don't think I could do it. Besides, I'm all about adoption. My parents gave up after an initial consulting appointment with a fertility doctor and decided that there are much better, easier, more natural ways of expanding a family. It took some patience, but that's how we got my brother.

The article said that the couple had one failed adoption attempt that had taken them three years. This doesn't make sense to me. There are plenty of children out there who need good homes. Most are at a disadvantage because they're not infants, not in this country, not white, or all of the above. But if you really want a child that much, you should be willing to look beyond wanting the neigbors to think you've had the baby yourself. My parents had to travel to another continent to adopt. They're unique in our adoption group because they only did it once. Many of these families have children of many different nationalities. One woman jokes that it's addictive. I'd believe it-- just ask Carnation!

Building on what AchtungBaby said, anybody ever want to form a genetic posse? Why is it that you have to have a learner's permit and pass a test to drive a car, when you can just have a kid without even thinking? With the world in its current state of overpopulation, we should do something about all the idiots who are breeding. Hey, you! Out of the gene pool!
