Are most men not whiling to adopt? (lemmy.zip)

The only way I'll ever have children is through adoption but it seems most guys want biological children.

Most of the guys I met would say that they fear that they wouldn't see an adopted child as theirs which honestly breaks my heart a little.

I did some research and apparently most adoptive parents generally chose that option because the man is infertile, not the other way around.

So it would seem like most men are only contemplating adoption if they're infertile themselves but if their partner is they'll prefer to just get a different girlfriend over adopting kids.

Let me know if you think this is not the case, I want to believe you.

I think that a lot of people think that having a biological child would mean having a "mini me". Which sounds so weird to me... The kid is it's own whole different person, they're the same people who will get disappointed in their own kids because they didn't achieve the success in what they'd imagine they'd succeed. Parents with a lot of frustrated dreams.
