Adopt a child!

Here's a thought I've held for a long time because I really feel it has merit:

There are many many children in orphanages/foster-homes awaiting adoption by a good family. Some who might have lost their parents, some perhaps abandoned.

Maybe we are too caught up with the notion of "bearing our own children", maybe we can consider adopting a child instead. For what or who is one's own child but someone you love and raise?

For those who wish to have children, this completes your dream as well as gives a child a home and parents and loved ones he/she will call their own.

And those who don't want to have children: See if you can locate a well meaning orphanage/foster-home and help them with improving their facilities and amenities and spend time with the children there.

Think about it.
