It is appropriate to adopt a child when you are mentally, financially and emotional ready. Raising a child is no easy task. It takes dedication and a lot of sacrifices. It is one thing to bring a child into this world and it is another to raise them. This is why people who are unfit give them up for adoption. You must be able to give that child all the love you can. Especially when you don't have any kids, loving and caring for a child might seem all new to you but the natural human instinct in you will pick up in no time. Adopting children is awesome. It gives them the hope of a new life and a sense of belonging in society. The best you can do for them is to love them unconditionally. Even now that I can't adopt, I always make an effort to help the orphans.
