    No, like I've said I need to repopulate Montenegro with Albanians as majority even tough we are only 5% now . Adopting a child won't be enough.

    Despite being somewhat emotionally detached yours is a healthier approach to parenthood than those who have children to "bear their seed" not to mention those who simply "want one" or "feel like it".

    Id have no problem in adopting a child. But in these cases, the most important thing is always the welfare of the child. I do not know if I could give a suitable environment. So I dont know if Id adopt one

    Firstly, you open up about race and ethnicity and secondly, you propose that you would lie to an adopted child about his or her origins, which would be a horrible thing to do.

    ...

    Would I?

    If the child were a blood relation, and it was clearly my duty to adopt then I would feel duty-bound so to do, but otherwise, I would certainly not.

    No, mostly because I don't want to have kids anytime soon. I may adopt a pet though.

    If I had my life to do over again, yes I would. We tried to have kids but lost three in various stages of pregnancy. It left an odd emptiness that I can't describe and we tried to make sense of it all but it left us kinda stunned psychologically, mentally and spiritually . In the end we figured it was the way it was supposed to be with other family members having children with assorted problems including Downs Syndrome, etc.

    its not lying its not telling. Kids should grow up until they are ready for the truth, everything else is psychological damage for them which is also abusing. Thats why i am against interracial adoption.

    Who told you that? You have not thought this through. Allowing adopted children to assume that their adoptive parents are their birth parents causes psychologically damage when the truth comes out, whether from the adoptive parents or from someone else who knows and tells them the truth.

    How is misleading adopted children about their origins going to cause less psychological damage than their growing up knowing the truth that they were adopted because they were dearly wanted and chosen by their adoptive parents?
