re: Would any of you ever raise and support another man's kids?

I did. My wife got screwed with only 50.00 a kid child support. Although they did get a house also. But still not enough for three girls. The youngest was in the second grade when I started to date her mom. Greatest move in my life. So yea.

Of all the shite in the world, I just think it’s odd that someone would let a kid prevent them from finding what might be real happiness

I mean.... A kid is a pretty big fricking deal. They cost hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Time. Effort. Etc. Not to mention the added heart ache If the relationship goes downhill. It's just absolutely not worth it to me.

You're acting likenot dating someone bc they have a kid is equivalent to someone saying they don't date red heads.

One is superficial. The other is a MASSIVE lifestyle change. And I honestly don't see how you're shocked that a kid is a pretty big and common deal breaker.

frick off. He’s a grown man capable of speaking for himself. If he wants to adopt a Chinese baby, so be it. He also should spend time in the worst orphanages here in America. He may have a personal experience there that changes his mind, or leads him to adopt another child. Too many progressive types go out of country for no other reason than to flaunt their adopted children as accessories to impress their friends. He is obviously not that type. I’m simply encouraging him to look right here in America before he makes his decision. If the words I used were too strong for your weak sensibilities, go and post in the Disney thread.

How many have you adopted?

Just to think, this entire dumb thread is based on someone's life philosophy they adopted in 2016 as a result of Reddit and 4chan memes

I haven’t walked back anything. If you’re done white knighting, you can kindly frick off now. Thanks.

One and my wife and I are very involved in foster care. I encourage everyone to at least consider adoption and/or foster care. Preferably stateside.

Good to hear. I would hope someone with such strong opinions on who other people should adopt would have a few adopted critters of his own.

Well, as the son of an adopted father and the father of an adopted daughter I appreciate what you're doing. I don't have the patience or the temperament to take in foster kids.

Nope. I can afford to raise his kid.
