Don't Want My Parents to Adopt

 

Check these out, too...

  • Does my brother have ADD, or is he just annoying?
  • What to do when your parents are worried about something big
  • Should I set up my sis with her crush?
  • I'm following Mom's no-makeup rule, but sis is sneaking it!
  • My dad is sexually abusing me. How can I tell my mom?

I have a serious problem. My parents want to adopt a Chinese girl. I really don’t want to because I think it will change my life too drastically. I like my life the way it is. Could you give me some advice on how to deal with the new baby if we adopt one.   


-Against Adopting


Dear A.A ,

While adopting a baby is a huge step, you may end up liking life even more as a sister. At first you may feel mad or jealous, as well as excited. But soon you may get a kick out of having a little sister who lights up when you approach and struggles to say your name and reaches for your hand.

 

She’ll annoy you sometimes, but she’ll also add more love to your life. And what a difference you and your parents are making in hers.


SERIOUS STUFF? For serious issues, don’t wait. Visit our HELP! page now.

moderator thanks again so much. you really make me feel a lot better. i think once Christmas break comes, i can just take a break from school and enjoy being with my family and hopefully it will take my mind off of everything. i think it will take awhile but eventually i will forget about it or at least not think about it every second. thanks again so much. everybody makes mistakes and i think because i have felt so guilty and will never do it again then i should just relax! thank you. thank you. thank you. a million times thank you!

 

Hey girl! You're so welcome! You'll feel better soon!

Hey girl! No, you did not. So, no worries. You are still 100% pure. And, just because you're religious, doesn't mean you won't sin every now and then. They're apart of life and you should try to accept them for what they are. Try to not worry so much because you really didn't do anything bad!
