You can still do that by adopting kids someone else made. No sense adding to the population when some kids already don't have parents.

yup. there are HEAPS of loving kids needing homes. There's no need to add to an overpopulation already when there are so many kids needing homes already.

What overpopulation are you talking about?

You make a good point but then again, the numbers game would still be tilted in favor of those who multiply the most.

Why not have 1 child and adopt another, preferably of the same age so that both children won't be lonely and have someone to depend on as family when the parents are gone.

there's nothing that says you can only adopt one kid :)
