Why does my brain do this to me?

[trickykitty]

I find it peculiar that a person like me (little income, unstable, student) would be laughed at if I attempted to adopt a child (and no I'm not even considering it - just the princple I'm mentioning popping into my head), yet nothing prevents me from finding some guy on the street and creating a child of my own, thereby adding to the "population explosion".
