I do believe that John’s comment was tongue in cheek based upon other comments he has posted. John has adopted older children out of foster care and helped them heal from their abusive pasts.

You raise some good points that I will blog about.

Take care,

Adopting a child is a serious life-long commitment of unconditional love. I often wonder if parents ever consider that they may not be the quality of parents that the child would choose for him/herself if the child had the opportunity to choose. Too often, I see parents choosing a child because they are cute and as young as possible and parents who want a child who will be highly intelligent with no medical, developmental, or behavioral needs. However, what parent can say that he/she meets the same standards of "perfection" they want in the child they adopt? As a parent who has both a birth child and three daughters adopted as teens through the foster care system, I have experienced problems with all of my children bio and adopted. I had to make my commitment to my children I adopted knowing there are no guarantees and knowing that as the adult, it was my commitment of unconditional love and that this love must be unconditional or I should not adopt. <br /> <br /> Erin I sincerely hope John that your comment is a joke.

The first says that the product must be of standard quality, the second that the seller promises that it is the right product for the buyer. Wouldn't it be nice if the kids did come with those promises.
