I have many family members and friends who have gone through the process of adoption--from ages ranging from newborn to teenager. This can be a very difficult relationship as time goes on and, depending on the age and the home life of the child being adopted, can come with many other challenges. I don't agree that it is simply a choice. To adopt a child is a choice that should be carefully considered. With that said, my choice to have my own biological child is not shelfish. It is just as much of a serious decision as adopting and should not be taken lightly.
