"Why do you want to adopt?"
"Why do you need to know?"
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Because books.
Happy, happy birthday, Tom! (It is the big day, right?) I'm following you into forty on Friday myself.

Trust my rage
I always find the analogous, "Why did you want children?" to be nearly impossible to answer.
Joe asks me this sometimes because my desire for more children is definitely stronger than his, but I can't ever provide a really satisfying answer. I just do. A blog I follow dealt with this question a while back and it was very interesting to me how many people felt the same way.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Allyson better make enough money as a famous writer to keep us all once we've lost our jobs due to being on line all day!
And this is why I use a pseudonym. Although I'm beyond busted if they monitor internet usage closely.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I keep (arrogantly) thinking that I may want to switch to a pseud for a little while when the book first comes out. To avoid crazies coming here to take a hit in case I used some wrong word choice about BtVS or Firefly.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
I wanted children because I'm selfish. And because there was too much sleep and not enough bodily fluids in my life. I mean those are the cocktail party answer.
