Adoption has always, since I was young, always been the one thing that made sense. There are people who want to be parents. There are children who need parents. Why not bring them together?
I don't want children, my husband respects that. However, he's got mad mentorship skillz, and he really should be working with Boys/Girls club or Scouts. I prefer helping older kids -- I work at a college because I like the transition from adolescent to young adult. Anything younger just confuses me.
If I eventually want kids -- I know they're out there.
