Why do adoptive parents want a baby that looks like them?

Question by cowboy_fan: Why do adoptive parents want a baby that looks like them?

I asked in a previous post about people only wanting white babies. One of the prevailing answers is that people want a baby who looks like them. Why do adoptive parents want their baby to look like them? To be honest, I think this is a stupid answer. Other than that I really can’t come up with anything else. I think this makes no difference at all in the parent adoptee relationship. What are your thoughts? For some reason I can’t gather my thoughts around this so if somebody could help it would be great.

So they can tell the baby they are its biological parents.

Q&A: Is there building code on where the central AC compressors should be installed?

Question by TfC_137: Is there building code on where the central AC compressors should be installed?

Our new construction home is scheduled to close next month., but the location of the AC compressors is really annoying. The compressors were right on one edge of our extented patio at first. I think that is a design flaw I had not expected. Other houses don’t have our issues since our house is flipped. I expressed my concern to the builder on the safety (kids will play on the patio)and noise issues. They said it was impossible to move to the other side at the current stage. However they did move a little bit to allow a seperation (one foot, with some plants put there). I really appreciate their gesture. But is that really what can be done? Is is possible that the current location violates some building code? How to find out if that is the case?

With the pipes and electrical box, I would bet it is very expensive to move at this stage. Building code is different in every city. Your city might have something about this but I can’t imagine that they would.

Question by Corey D: How can i remove scratches on the outer part of my black Nintendo DS?

I want to remove the scratches. I made the mistake of leaving it in my bookbag with no case and now it is totally scratched up.I just want to make them less noticable, because i know they wont totally come out. I am also going to buy another cover for it, like the ones they sell in gamestop with designs on it.
