Why did you decide to have children?

[Ponyup]

I know that I could love someone else's child as my own. I would actually want to adopt a slightly older child like 1-2 yrs old. Ever since I was little (like 10) I have always taken young girls under my wing. I had 3 girls over the course of the years from when I was 10-18 that latched on to me. They were always shy little girls & I would usually befriend then at 2-3 years of age & then when they started school & made their own friends that would forget about me. The last girl I befriended however, came from a pretty hard homelife. Her & I stayed friends until she was near 10. Her parents were having there own issues & I'm sure she felt ignored & unloved. I remember I came over to babysit her one night & when I got ready to leave she told her mom she wanted to go with me & her mom said why don't you just go live with her then. Had she been serious I would of taken her in a heart beat. But since then her parents have gotten a divorce & things have been much better. Sorry I kinda went off topic.
