    Throughout this post I feel rather upset how certain posters have posted about me and and my situation. I did not come on this forum for an argument or to be dictated too either. Neither did I come on here to be called all sorts. I think many people on this thread have decided in their opinion 'I am not ready to be a father' so lets just draw a line under it and agree to disagree !

    I don't know what thread you are reading but no one here has dictated to you or called you all sorts. If you get upset by reading a few (invited) opinions on a forum, then you are certainly not emotionally ready to be a father!

    Forget the adoption, surrogacy, it's obvious from your posts you are extremely immature and far from ready to be a parent and
    everything that comes with it. Im really surprised you cant see this for yourself..

    You will have far more life experience with a few years under your belt.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.

    You may well feel you are ready for a child, but from what you have posted here, if it is indeed true appears to show that you are not ready for a child at all.
    If you post on a public internet forum you will get replies that you do not like i'm afraid, not everyone out there has the same opinion as you and you will not change peoples minds by being annoyed or upset about this fact.

    Sorry cross posted, must not speak if the thread is closed

    17, 18, 19, 21, 25, 'PM me if you would be a surrogate for us', 'we want a baby', 'my partner wants one that is biologically his, he wouldn't adopt'...

    Now this complaining about the age limit for adoption.

    That's why I think you are too young to become a Father.

    It's not llike playing with a dolly you know.

    Yup all this reminds me all too well of sessions with a prospective adopter when they were rejected by me as simply not ready.

    "I want a foreign child as they smile all the time" , "older children are easier to look after, they can run thier own errands"

    OP is a time-waster.
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3185670 surrogacy out of your budget? You have only given yourself 2 weeks to save up.
    I have absolutely no objections to same sex couples adopting, or having children, but I do think you need to think long and hard about bringing up a child, it's bloody hard work, they aren't beautiful babies for very long. You & your oh take your time over this important decision if you really want to do this it will be worth waiting for. Sadly there will still be children that need adopting in 5 years time.
    Do look into fostering they are desperate for carers especially for special needs children.
    Booo!!!

    So sorry you're upset.

    Out of interest, how do you think the lady who had been raped and was worried she might be pregnant as a result felt when you posted on her thread asking if she would sell you her baby?

    I honestly would pity any child who was placed with you if that is indicative of your general behaviour.
