Not in most computer programming languages it ain't. I am using the geek version.
You're going to be one of those guys who does a DNA test to make sure the child is yours, aren't you?Tiassa: I just don't see the point of all the money and toil involved in raising a kid who's eventually just going to run off and find their "real" parents anyway. The child isn't yours, so what's the huge investment for? You will eventually be forgotten or resented. It just seems pointless.

Easy. Every parent I know who adopted that child loves that child dearly and is incredibly grateful they were able to adopt. They would not trade their experiences for 'resources'. They clearly did get something out of it that they found valuable and by definition were not suckers.OK then sowhatifit'sdark, explain to me exactly why it's NOT a complete waste of time and resources to adopt? What you end up with is essentially a very expensive human pet. Yes, it serves a good purpose in that a disadvantaged child ends up in a home with a "mother" and a "father", but that is not the angle either of us is coming from.
But I love riding on the weekends.
You have failed to make me "see the light" although I can see why people do it.

They really sell humans? Little people?
I never intended to make you see the light, especially if this means make you want to adopt. You, clearly, would not get anything from it. If you can see why other people do it, I consider that a success. Mine, yours? Who cares.
Ah..They're still suckers.
