He also pointed out that “adopting avoids unnecessary medical expenses and dangerous pregnancies.”
SINGAPORE: A Singaporean recently took to social media to raise a compelling question about why married couples who are struggling to conceive don’t consider adoption as a viable means to start a family.
One person shared an anecdote about their colleague’s experience adopting a baby, claiming he spent roughly S$50,000 during the process. They worried that the child would inherit negative traits and potentially grow up to engage in criminal or substance abuse behaviours. Apart from behavioural and health worries, they also wanted to have a child that had their own genes. One individual elaborated, “The desire to want children and pass on our genes is built into us thanks to evolution.Without that desire to have children, humans as a species will cease to exist. Passing on one’s genes is literally the most important thing in evolution.”
They also stated that while adoption is a wonderful option, not everyone desires to take in someone else’s baby and dedicate their entire lifetime, immense care, love, and financial resources to nurturing them.Kaspersky: Information shared online becomes one’s reputation and creates an impact in the real world
