Jesse66126 4 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 I'm not sure if you guys remember my "Life of Celibacy" post,but ya,I'm still single. I tried a few dating sites and found the weirdest "women"(if you'd even call them that)on the planet. I plan on staying single for a long time. However,I still want kids so,adoption is my best bet. Adoption agencies look for a family with a strong support system. It would be great with my retired parents around to watch the kid while I'm at work. Especially for the first month when it's the hardest. My apartment is pretty small even for just me(one bedroom,one bath,and a kitchen/living/laundry room.) Yeah...the ultimate bachelor pad. They look for adequate living space. They look for good income,which with my folks helping out,I'd have an extra $700/month that didn't vanish into my apartment. Apartments are financial black holes by the way. I do have a house of my own,but it's one of those "fixer uppers". I got it for a modest $25,000. YES! $25,000 that's like the price of just the land it's on!!!!!!!!!!!! (when the average in my area is $175,000!)! ....it needs a TON of repairs,though... Bad plumbing,wiring,the lights/heating/and hot water don't work,rotting floors,two holes in the roof,mice,termite damage,mold,you name it. I think it has ghosts,too...Anyway...It'll cost a ton to fix,but I'm hoping to make a huge profit. ($100,000-ish) I'd probably break even just by tearing it down and building another house. So,any advice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leon 55 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 Get your own house in order, then seek adoption. I do wish you luck, man, but def. get that house done. Hell, for all you know, you may want to live there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hell, for all you know, you may want to live there. It's not in the best neighborhood,though. Certainly not the best place to raise kids. My original plan was to fix it up,sell it,and buy a new house in some nice area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They called houses they rented "sleepers".... that was weird... I wish you luck Jesse! May you raise an awesome kid that makes really cool RPGs. I would fix my house situation first if I were you.
