In summary dnegs says they can't wait 9 months for a child so going to adopt asap while making their own babies....

I haven't watched the latest yet, but I'm guessing it would take 9+ months to actually get a kid adopted.

Nothing wrong with it at all. I was commenting on the fact that Daniel has mentioned many times he wanted to have kids of his own not adopted kids .

It would seem Daniel has not done his homework on this topic. In some cases it may not take 9 months but it takes quite a few months before you're officially a parent in the court's/state's eyes.

No need .Amanda is awesome at research. He says she woke and this morning and said she wants a baby NOW! Like today . So she probably googled adopt a kid and he mentioned Haiti is the place to adopt from .

Aggie, Why don't you take a break from posting in this thread for awhile?

Thanks.

He's talking like he is taking a showroom car home while they are working on building the "real" car but he doesn't want to deal with the delivery time. Must be great for that kid to hear that he was adopted solely for the reason to fill in a 9 month gap of selfishness and that purpose alone.

he said in January He'd like 2 adopted and 2 of his own ideally

Adopting a child generally takes longer than 9 months right? Like you can't just walk into a shop and pick one up.

Sure.

Just note I have 369 posts in 6 years . Granted 365 are horrible

are they in an open relationship?

My uncle-in-law did this a year or two ago. It took 5-6 months iirc. I'm sure this varies by state, though.

Also, I doubt a couple that was just married a month ago is going to the top of the list.

Two people in their first marriages, with no criminal histories and with truck loads of money will definitely be at the top of the list. It will be easy for them.

If I know the timeline correctly, it took my parents about that amount of time before they got the late-night phone call that I was born. This included the full background check, plus everything else that went into the process. My sister's went faster, but she came from Korea in the 1970s... something something supply and demand. Plus, it probably also helped that my parents had already gone through an adoption (i.e. mine) so they were "pre-approved," so to speak.

On the flip side of that, two of my friends each waited more than two years before getting the call - and that's starting the clock AFTER they had gone through the background check, the home study, et al. It probably just depends on when and where the baby comes from, and the child's situation.

I'll be very curious to see how adoption goes for Daniel and Amanda. Daniel mentioned that he would look into Haiti, which will speed things up relatively speaking. There is probably an abundance of children needing homes there. (Again, supply and demand.)

On the other hand, they might score low on some of the factors when demonstrating their capability to an agency. Neither one will be able to demonstrate a steady income (and I mean income, not assets, so the two Teslas in the garage mean little here). Daniel's occupation will officially be "professional gambler" unless he lines up some other form of work. Both live far away from their respective extended families. Daniel does not have a high level of education, and his work sends him out of town quite a bit.

It's important to note: I'm not saying any of these things automatically prevent them from being excellent parents. However, right or wrong, these are the criteria almost every adoption agency considers.

Cool story Wilbrory

Who are these people you speak of?

My sister and my brother-in-law adopted their first child in less than a month, took it home the day after it was born. This was in California 12 years ago. I'm pretty sure economics, job status, education are all factors.

The Negreanu's will have no trouble adopting.

Whether these two should adopt, well, to each their own...

Madonna is single and has a similarly travelling lifestyle, but she has had lots of children, and has adopted without issue, so I am sure the application would be approved, and he will get the Haitian child of his dreams.

Negreanu strikes as very self centred and insensitive to others fragilities, so him learning to put someone in front of him would be good for his development, and most important of all give him someone to watch his damned Rocky films with!

An ultra-liberal vegan rich man used to being able to buy whtvr he wants driving a tesla talking about how great it would be to adopt a child and how convenient it is to do it in Haïti compared to in the US.
A caricature of our sad and fckd up modern world where the accursed power of money makes you think you are on the right side of things.
Not thinking a single minute about the well being of the child but putting the emphasis on their bourgeois will to adopt - because they can and because having a "little adopted brownie boy or girl" is so cool, humanitarian and trendy in their thinking system.
It is actually very disturbing to see how sincere he seems in his approach.
Anyway, that gives Amanda something to occupy her days with. I guess it is part of the process.
