When I owned my own business I payed more than I made. (when you look at everything paid combined, Payroll tax, business tax, personal tax etc... I wrote more in taxes than I wrote in personal pay)

Like a teen is going to do something for the parentsyou got to get them early and train them, otherwise they are pretty much just a big sucking sound on your bank account.

I have four. Until recently, all were teens. None of them felt it a "requirement". They will raise children who do not think it's a "requirement".How about this, come to work with me for a few days and listen to these kids now.
We can also discuss some of your posts here.

I was hoping instinctively they'd have the cooking skill. But you might be on to something. Good looking out!

Okay, so what's this lumpia? Never had it.I bet if you threaten to send them back they'll cook.
no matter how well you train your own children, they end up doing what they want anyway; call it peer pressure; maybe with an adopted child, and they know you brought them in and gave them a loving home, it wouldn't be taken for granted. The adopted child would be more appreciative of what they got...

take an ethnic child and threaten to send them back, ACLU will be knocking your door down to steal your lumpia and serve you papers referencing your court date for violation of civil rights.I bet if you threaten to send them back they'll cook.
(you have to take them out of the country and then threaten to leave them there if they dont straighten up. that way the crime was not committed on U.S soil.)

Emily's on Great Mills Road has some pretty good lumpia. It is a very small restaurant/shack heading towards Rt 5.

You hear all the time about waiting lists and such. Being that waiting lists exist, I wouldn't call it a stretch to say that there is a "demand" for adoptive children?
Hm... I was unaware that adopting children and making your own were mutually exclusive conditions.
I can say, with 100% certainty based on first hand experience that I would.
On the other hand, if I wanted the child, it would be inaccurate to continue using the term "unwanted baby".
