BCAM1984 03/08/18 10:10:21 AM #1:	Is it wrong to tell a couple who can't have kids they should consider adoption? Yes, Absolutely - it's not my business at all - even if they are close friends. Yes, but I still believe someone should say it - especially if they complain often. No, there are plenty of children who need to be adopted, if they want kids they should look into it. Maybe, but depends on how well you know the couple Don't care either way.

TheBiggerWiggle 03/08/18 10:21:41 AM #12:	Yes it's wrong, and it's really rude to do it. You may not know why one of them can't conceive, and it might be a very sensitive subject to them. (For example a woman has a miscarriage and rips her uterus preventing her from getting pregnant again). Everyone knows there are kids out there needing adopted, so the suggestion itself is useless. --- I have trouble concentrating because I have 80HD. <cite>TheBiggerWiggle posted [p:897392188] in Is it wron...

s0nicfan 03/08/18 10:25:28 AM #13:	I said maybe. It's not wrong but it's certainly insensitive because it implies the couple is too stupid to have considered it themselves. To your poll, though, if they're always bringing up that they can't have kids because they like to complain and/or want the pity than at that point it seems fair to point out they have options. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

LinksLiege 03/08/18 12:47:09 PM #29:	A lot of people are aware of adoption but don't ever consider it because they're so devoted to the idea of making a kid. If someone's just mentioning its existence, I don't see why anyone should get pissy over that. Frankly if someone did get mad at me over suggesting it, I'd probably follow it up with, "On second thought, don't have kids. You're still clearly a child yourself." At that point it's no longer about how "right" or "wrong" it is - it's about what a whiny little shit they're being. --- This is LinksLiege's signature.
