SEE RESPONSES....Would you adopt a child if you remained childless after years of marriage?

hehehehe...Child adoption is not totally embraced in some parts of the country due to different religious and traditional beliefs. However, with new awareness, some Nigerians have seen it as a means of bringing succour to barren couples and motherless children. If they had no child after several years in marriage, Fidelis Chidi blog asked some Nigerians whether they could opt for adoption

With adoption, no woman is barren again – Olasanoye Mercy

Adoption gives a childless couple an opportunity to normalise their relationship. With this, the couple should no more consider themselves barren as they now have a child to show love and care for. Adoption erases a woman’s sorrow and makes her to stop worrying about not having a child. Ditto for the man. Sometimes when couples adopt a child, God might give a yes to their long-term prayer and bless the marriage with their own child.

Yes, I would- Jolaoso Eniola

Yes, I would adopt a child. It is better than not having any child at home to disturb me. My belief is that if I adopt a child, it does not mean that I wouldn’t have mine later in life. All it requires is patience.

I’d wait till I get mine – Iniobona Ukpe

I don’t subscribe to adoption because I strongly believe in God. I have seen miracles happen to people. Why adopt a child when God will do it for me at His perfect time? I believe all things work perfectly for those who wait on God. So I will wait for His time, which is always the best.

I would adopt – Ogunsan Maryjane

Of course, I would accept it. A child is a child, whether they are given birth to by one or another person. Every child deserves love and care. Sometimes, one can’t tell if it’s the adopted child that would bring good fortune to one’s home. I also see adoption as a means of helping the motherless babies and giving them a future.

No adoption, I’d wait on God – Kunle Arowosade

As Christians, my wife and I would wait on God’s time to give us our own child. We would keep waiting until the day finally comes. If we are not dead, there is hope. What if one adopted a child and one later had his own child? However, maybe after we’ve prayed and done everything we could and there’s still no child, we might consider adoption.

Adoption isn’t that easy – Fawehinmi Tolulope

Before one could think of adoption, it must have got to the extent where one couldn’t wait anymore. Adoption is not that easy to opt for, considering the society we are in. People could start making mockery of one. But in a situation where a couple have waited for long, then adoption could be the best thing to do.

If you truly love your spouse, adopt – Ojeniyi Solomon

Some couples divorce themselves due to childlessness, but it’s a bad idea. If a childless couple truly love themselves, the best thing is to go for adoption. The adopted child could even bring more blessings to the family and they could have their own child in the future.

All children are from God – Oyeneyin Emmanuel

Even if I had my own children, I would still go for adoption. All children are from God. Whether one gave birth to them or not, one should take good care of all of them. I believe a childless couple could live a happy life by going for adoption rather than weep all the day of their lives.

Adoption is not a bad idea – Olamide Abiodun

I think adoption is not a bad idea, even couples with children still adopt. The children in the orphanage homes too need love and care, if they are adopted, the childless couples will have hope for carrying their own children soon. But it depends on both couples.
