Recently, New York Times reported there is a growing number of retirees that have decided instead of relaxing during retirement to become parents. More specifically, retired people have turned to adoption. For some retirees this is their second go around at parenting, but for others this is their first time. Some of the retired individuals reason they will be successful parents because of their life experiences and accumulated knowledge. The adoptions are not only for infants,but also include adults.
