Can you imagine having this fat slob humping and sweating all over you? How disgusting.

Why not adopt from the USA. There are plenty of children in our country that need to be adopted. Keep children in there own country with there own culture. I don’t understand why people do not adopt from USA. Buying a child from another country I will never understand took many black markets. That’s what u are doing is buying a child from another country and bringing them to our country. We need to tighten up the boarders.

What is wrong with you? You sound racist

somebody told me that it is easier to adopt abroad. also, it might be that there is less risk for the biological parents to later come knocking and disturbing the child’s adopted family life. it’s a lot more complicated than your rant suggests, and i doubt tightening boarders to orphans from abroad is something most people want to spend their tax dollars on.

Gary is a great Dad any child would be lucky to have him as their dad! Gosh I wish my dad had been more involved like Gary is. There aren’t many guys out there like him I hope he finds his dream girl and lives happily ever after – he deserves it! He and Leah are lucky to have each other!

I say GO FOR IT!! I’m adopted and I owe so much to my adoptive parents! Now my husband and I are picking up our older (7& 5) adopted children ( siblings) from the Ukraine in two weeks, and they will be great brothers to our daughter (3). We don’t rule out adopting more…I already love my new children and all I have is a few pics and two drawings full of hearts…

Gary is a great dad!!! I think this is a great idea :) if he’s older and married to the right women why not?!?!? You go gary :))

Seems early, but to each his or http own! Children benefit quite a bit from a sibling, so if he has the $ and time, whatever! If he has those Thu ta is the only.question in my mine, otherwise, do u Gary! At least he’s not selfish, tryig to pop out another simply to have his own DNA out there, right?
