Too many people enter into parenthood for all the wrong reasons either because of social pressure, pressure form a spouse or partner, or personal pressure. Having someone to carry on your genes is not a good primary reason to have a child. Anyone who says that is DOOMED as a parent!

Well, that's exactly it. Adopting or having a child should be done out of a genuine desire to have children and do the best possible job that you can raising them.
Many people put no more thought into whether or not they can actually provide for a child and raise a child properly, than they do which toothpaste to buy.
