Question

9．When couples get m arried，they usually plan to have childr en．Sometimes，however，a couple can not have a child of their own．In this case，they may decide to adopt a child．In fact，adoption is very common today．There are about 60 thousand adoptions each year in the United States alone．Some people prefer to adopt infants，others adopt older children，some couples adopt children from their own countries，and others adopt children from foreign countries．In any case，they all adopt children for the same reason---they care about children and want to give their adopted child a happy life．
