Absolutely, provided I thought I was the best alternative, and could give that child the best possible life.
-
Yes...
-
Of course yes!! i wouldnt hesitate to offer to take any of my relatives children.
-
definitely. I would hope they would grant me this honour.
-
Of course I would! I wouldn't want them to go into foster care or anything!
-
I would do it in a heartbeat no hesitation at all.
-
for sure ,its not something I would have to even think about
-
Yes, I would. Of course.
-
I would look after anyone's child and love it forever :)
-
iam the type of person, who would adopt every needy child in the world, if i was able, so yes i would.
-
yes!
-
Absolutely!
-
Yess :D
-
I'd like to, but as this is something that would affect the whole family, it would be a family decision not mine.
-
I would look after his or her best interests, if that is what the parents had asked me to do previously. (Many parents, very wisely, have an legal document naming a guardian for their children in case of death of both parents). If not, the children would be the responsibility of the next of kin...grandparents, etc.I would certainly take in and care for my grandchildren. If it was a neice or nephew, I would do whatever I can to ensure they are looked after well..but, I probably would not be next of kin.
-
Yes. I offered to take care of my sister's two girls if anything happened to her or my brother-in-law. Thankfully, all involved are still alive. The girls are now on their own and doing well...
-
The majority of them, yes without question.. the others, it would depend on the relative/child. There are certain people in my family that have severe behavioral problems that I would be unable to cope with on a long term basis.
-
If there were no one else in the family. That could raise the child better than I. Meaning to give the child the best life possible. YES.... Now if the child's parent's had already chosen me for this. Then I would not have to ask twice about doing it...M.C.S.
-
yes, definately.
-
I definitely would. I will also look after close friends child.
-
Definitely. The kid is family, and needs a relative to keep things as close to normal for them as possible.
-
Without a doubt
-
Yes, if there was not someone more suitable and willing than me.
-
Yes I would because they need family very much to comfort them in their time of need. I wish my family would have wanted me after my parents died when I was a child in need.
-
Yes :)
-
If I was able to financially , emotionally and physically yes. No way would I put into the system needlessly..that could just double their pain and heartache.. cause kids in the system do NOT get taken care of most of the time so yes, I would .
-
Yes, no question about it.
-
I'm not sure what you're asking. Of course I'd look after her/him - but that implies a temporary thing. I would certainly consider adopting the kid(s), if you're asking about a permanent solution.
-
Yeah I would.
-
Yeah, if there was no one else and I had the resources to support the child.
-
No....... I raised one for 14 1/2 years out of the 15 years of her life and now she seems to hate me.
-
Definately!!! We are bringing up our niece who would have otherwise gone in to care not in the situation where her parents have died but other reasons however it would always be a better option where possible for a child to remain in the family more so after the loss of both parents as the child will need familiar people around to help them through their grief
-
Yes, if it where in the child's best interests.
-
Have done so, and would again (unfortunately the child's parents are not dead!!!)
-
Sure! Why not?!?
-
Yes, absolutely. As long as we have discussed it before and they are happy with it. +4
-
It would be difficult physically to accommodate a child because we have a condo only for 3 people and no more additional space. We would not be able to provide a normal physical living. But ... if the situation were desperate and we were chosen to take care of him/her we would probably figure something out.
