Couples seek adoption for several good reasons.
Adopting a baby is a very serious matter, and one which must be given careful consideration and understanding. Sadly, many couples seek to adopt a baby for the wrong reasons, including: to have a companion, to take care of them when they are old or to pass on the family name. Still, there are many couples who adopt babies because of noble reasons and a sincere desire to care for someone as their own.
To have a baby
When either one of the couple is faced with infertility or other issues that make them unable to conceive a child of their own, but their desire to parent a baby remains strong, they should seriously consider adoption. Many couples unable to bear a child still sense a strong calling to parenthood, therefore they may want to adopt a child or children to raise as their own.
To provide a baby with a better home
Many couples, with or without children of their own, adopt babies born in poor countries, who are either orphaned or abandoned by their parents, so as to provide them with a loving family, a nurturing home and the chance for a better future. Out of the goodness of their hearts, they do their best to provide the child with opportunities which he/she may not necessarily have access to in the previous situation.
To provide care for a baby with special needs
A few couples have an even more unique calling of adopting babies with birth defects or other mental and/or physical disabilities or issues. With careful consideration and serious understanding of this special condition, they decide to give the child a chance for a loving and nurturing home and a better quality of life, knowing full well that they have a much lower chance at adoption than other children without such concerns.
