Is it normal that i want to adopt children instead of having biological ones?

I have no interest in having birthchildren (I find it overrated but I'm not saying that it's a bad thing). I believe that the world is overpopulated and troubled enough as it is and that I shouldn't bring another human into the world when there's so many children out there in need of homes. When I'm older and if the capability ever arises, I'll try becoming an adoptive mother (I would like to adopt 1-3 older children here in the US).

    Then go for it adopt away. I don't think i could love someone elses child as much as i love my own because my own are a part of me.

    I've thought about adopting a child even though I gave birth to one of my own. I really don't see anything wrong with it, plus every child out there wants for feel loved and like they belong, and have a normal family (even if the parents are adopted instead of biological).

    We have children in the orphanage. Why would it be abnormal to want to adopt one. THEY MADE THIS SYSTEM FOR A REASON!

    Good on you. I think more people should consider adoption. Obviously not against people having their own - that's a natural thing and will always happen - circle of life etc. But sometimes when I hear of someone/a couple having their third of fourth child, I do think hmm... perhaps you could have considered adoption. It's a shame that it doesn't even seem to cross most people's minds when there are a lot of kids out there who would love to have a family and a place to call home. Honestly, I'd like to have a biological child too, but I have thought about adopting someday as well since I was about 18 (seven years ago). It wouldn't be exactly the same as having a biological child in some ways - e.g. that bonding process from birth wouldn't be the same. But I have no doubt that it's possible to absolutely love and properly nurture an adopted child. Good luck - I'm sure you will be a great parent some day!
