I'd like to adopt an older child, maybe 5 years old.
There's a lot of people in my family who've adopted children.

Adoption is a global issue these days - it's certainly current - and it's encouraging for a lot of couples whether they're straight or gay.
I'm not adopting a baby.
I'd adopt an older child, not a baby.
If I have kids, I'll adopt.
I always knew I would adopt. Always.

I've started the adoption process... I really want to be a mommy.
We have so many kids in America to be adopted, but it's expensive. All these families that want children aren't able to because of the financial aspect, and that, to me, is just the most disgusting thing ever.
