Just who are you, what experience do you have, how do you expect me to believe anything you say without warrant and justification? You need evidence.

Ohhh sorry didn't know there was a need for papers and ID check here...
I'm sorry you didn't like my advice in this post or the other one. But you can't call me a troll for posting on the topic you brought up or differences in advice. Its so easy to cry troll when you start feeling challenged.

I have savings, I have a steady job, I have a retirement account, I have no debts. How many mid-twenty year olds can you name that can say the same? I think I can name maybe two of my friends who fall into this category. The vast majority do not.

No, adoption in itself isn't childish at all, but the idea of a Single Parent to go back to his home , have the agency adopt a child to take back to a foreign country on a single income is. Also its harmful to the adopted child itself due to the fact that he or she is being taking to a foreign land at the same time being adopted to trust this new stranger in their life.. Just is not right.

I think my ability to be responsible speaks very well to my ability to be a parent. *shrug* And your opinion, as demonstrated elsewhere, is not relevant. |
Well lets not start calling each other "childish" names now. Well I'm glad you can take that grand title or Very Responsible compared to your high school chums. Pat yourself on the back and look down on all those take government handouts... oh wait... that is the politcs you support.
While the default rate is at average of 18% and has grown slightly due to the American Recession I don't believe that qualifies you as showing a "great degree of responsibility". Nothing wrong with being parents at a young age (22 and up) with a good family base.
Perhaps you would make a good partent.... but the situation you created of being a
-*single* parent *adopting* and moving a kid to Japan, which the people are proven to discriminate against adopted let alone single parents. Its is a bit strange. I would welcome anyone else to join the discussion on this. Then again there is no need because the adoption process would never go through for the situation you have setup.
Thus its a fantasy.

What more immature is that you deny the advice you asked for in the first post of this thread.

You shouldn't be surprised to meet someone whose views go against pissing the USA economy into a socialist anarchy
DNC: When you were 20 or 21... great ... again no big surprise at all. Guess you got all the answers then.
Well you can escape to Japan to avoid the US hard ships for now. I'm so glad you'll consider coming back after public transportation and health care is to you're liking...
(as you said you would only then consider)
geez...

I'm not sure what evidence you would like? I'm mean its a given fact that single parent adoption to a 25-30 y/o and then taking that child into a foreign envionment would fail the best interest of the child...
But of course you are free to try... just giving you fair warning it will never fly...
Which I take solace in...

Big surprise... philosophy major... you'll go far with that in politics perhaps... in fact you'll fit right in with the jokers today...
Enjoy the imaginary ivory tower while your young... when it comes time to move on from teaching English to young kids(my guess is what you do) and move on to a career be sure to put this post on your resume.
Also be sure to apply to a Japanese University Grad program because the US is just not to your liking until more reform has come.
