- the person with a uterus doesn't have to risk death or serious injury from having a baby! good for them!
- no long, boring process of trying to conceive a child! no worrying every time a menstrual cycle continues unabated!
- pre-screen your child for downs! no risks of nonverbal autism (unless you're cool with that)! with adoption, you don't have to worry about any of the various genetic disorders which make raising your child even harder (homosexuality not included)!
- skip the "shit everywhere, cry all night" stage of childrearing! get right to the good part in the beginning by adopting kids who are potty trained! it's a miracle!
- your atrocious DNA is kept from continuing within the species!
- give loving and tender care to a child who might otherwise have missed out on it, rather than creating a new one for little-to-no reason.

okay, y'all keep going. i'm gonna eat some taco bell.

to paraphrase doug stanhope, as i often do, the main reason people don't adopt a child is because if that child hits a home run in the world series you don't want to turn to the person beside you and say "that's my boy - kinda"

if it isn't actually a piece of your own body then you can't take full credit if you completely shock the world by parenting well.

singles are allowed to adopt nowadays. unemployment is not inherently a take you off the list deal, though it might make things more difficult if you're not financially secure.

however, you do have to be at least 21. ageism...

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-11-25/foster-family-in-uk-loses-kids-due-to-political-views/4390846

A British couple who acted as foster parents for three children have had them removed from their care because of their political views.

A local authority in northern England said it took the decision after discovering the foster parents supported the right-wing UK Independence Party (UKIP).

It said it was concerned about the party's policies on immigration and the fact the children were not white.

Speaking to the BBC, Joyce Thacker, strategic director of children and young people's services at the council, said she had to decide whether some foster placements were appropriate for particular children.

"These children are from EU migrant backgrounds and UKIP has very clear statements on ending multiculturalism, not having that going forward, and I have to think about how sensitive am I being to these children," she said.

UKIP's leader Nigel Farage condemned the council's move.

"We are a non-racist, non-sectarian political party... They (the couple) were giving those children love and stability and all the things they need," he said.

"They have been discriminated against.... on the basis that they support a party that says we shouldn't be part of the European Union and we should control our borders and that is the most appalling prejudice."

A British couple that are noted activists against child sexual abuse have just had their children taken away by the state, since their children were the products of the rape of a 14 year old girl.

oh yeah, just remembered another advantage of adoption:
- you get to avoid participating in the gross, unhealthy, unsafe and quite frankly embarassing activity of piv sex. thank god.
