I love children but I've given up looking for a good woman to be a wife and mother. I just want to raise a child and give my unconditional love to someone. I think I am stable enough to to raise a child. I have experiencing taking care of children of relatives as well, Where do I start to file for Adoption?

Parent here. You have no idea what you're trying to get yourself into. Get a dog and see how well you manage that alone.

I think I'm ready because I come from a culture who close family bonds so I've taken care of relatives' kids.I even changed diapers and wipes kid's ass after they do their business. I know what they are like. I also take care of friends' children, The problem is I cant find someone good enough to procreate with so I'll settle with someone else's kid

Other people's children are not your own children - when you can't just walk away or hand them back to someone else it's a lot more stressful. Why take my word for it though? I'm just a guy who's experienced first-hand the thing you're asking for advice about. Obviously you know better.

Other user is right, get a dog

I want a person. I want to raise someone to adulthood and teach my values

They're not saying never get a kid. They are saying get something else first, so how it is caring for something 24/7, THEN get a kid.

Oh, where did you adopt from? Oh that's right, you didn't. Don't confuse your spoiled shit stain with children who haven't grown up with privileges. Whoever OP picks will be more grateful, respectful, and loyal than your sorry child will ever be.
Brayden Long
Children need both a mother and father figure in their life. Don't just try to adopt one like they're a pet.

narcissism: the post

yeah im sure they will prefer being in the orphanage than having one parent will be a much better enviroment for them and nobody has ever

So in this analogy we're just leaving them at the pound to be put to sleep? How's being retarded working out for you?

I wouldn't trust a single man to raise a child. Somehow, you are unable to love an adult enough to bond with them, but you're able to love a child? No, I think you're a pedo and you're going to destroy a person's life. They'll never fully recover from the damage you cause, you scumbag.
Jace Morgan
Take your current monthly living expenses and multiply that by twenty four. That's what you'll have to have in your bank account at all times, while raising a kid, doing the extra driving, paperwork, cooking etc. If you see yourself ever falling below that number then you will probably lose your mind from the stress and being overworked. This is where people chicken out - giving the kid back to he orphanage because "it's not really mine lmao".
Kids take up your entire life, huge amounts of time, effort and money for at least 18 years, plus the college fund, plus helping them start out in life, often a burden well into their twenties. You'd better at least be really financially stable before doing it because it sounds like the desire is already there.

It's a noble idea wanting to adopt but most adoption agencies won't look twice at a single parent, have you considered foster care? That might be more likely
Ian Russell
I'm not "32" but I feel like you've never met an adopted or foster child, not having a real parental figure for the first part of their life does have an effect on children, despite your beliefs otherwise.
>inb4 just get a toddler
I also think the poster you were responding to was talking about the responsibility of having a child, i.e. cleaning up after them, looking after their health, it's a 24/7 job unless you're a shitty parent
Henry Bell
I doubt growing up with user would be much better than an orphanage. The child will probably be adopted into a family and have a better upbringing without user. I don't they'll let a single dude take a child.

Eat shit mate. Fuckloads of it.

Sorry Henry Darger, not gonna happen.

inb4 you send the kid back after half a year because he doesn't say thank you enough.
