Family Planning

While the article http://www.dailypioneer.com/indexn12.asp?main_variable=OPED&file_name=opd1%2Etxt&counter_img=1 points to women being used a brooding mares speaks the truth of the rural areas, will somebody check the mindset of the people in the urban areas, especially ones who are supposed to be literate and educated?
How many people try to adopt, while not going in for their own children? Why should the well to do not do so? Why should people have only their "blood" as their children? O.K. granted that for emotional needs one may go in for one own child, then why not go in for adoption of the second child? More so when one can afford to do so.
These people like to imitate the actors on screen in their day to day life. They want to think only of the things that happen in movies. So why not pick the right things from these actors' life. Take Sushmita Sen, or Angelina Jolie, or even the much maligned Salman Khan. All of them have adopted in one way or other. Why not follow the right things? Are our people not educated enough to do so?
You may ask me "Have you done so?". Well the reason of my writing this is precisely that. Why can't my spouse and my in-laws see that it is good to adopt. Especially now that we have a child, why can we not adopt the second one? Why should we think of begetting the second one too? There are too many children out there crying out for love and affection. Give one of them a life better than it would have now.
