  What are the pros and cons of adopting (as opposed to birthing) a child?

  @la_chica: i’m not sure you’d be that sympathetic, if you were actually in that situation. esp if you’d had the child for quite some time. i’m not saying i’m advocating that birth parents never have any contact, but i think it is very traumatic for a child to be switched between households in that kind of dispute. in a foreign adoption, the parents can choose to have contact if they wish but reversal of custody is not the huge deal it is here. a foreign adoption can be a very good thing. although there are many problems with the system here, the standards of living are markedly lower in many countries. so by adopting out of the country, you may be giving a child a huge chance for a much better life. their different culture and heritage can still be kept and celebrated, thereby enriching your family’s life.

  What are the pros and cons of adopting (as opposed to birthing) a child?

  have you thought of a foreign adoption? although, they aren’t necessarily “easier” or cheaper, birth parents often have no legal rights afterwards. some do require that you come to their country to process the adoption which may mean more time off than you’d like.

  Do you have any ideas for making fabulous meals on a low budget?

  try looking here: budget recipes. obviously, you may find your ingredients cheaper somewhere besides whole foods. but it is nice that they’ve got a per-serving price for each recipe.
