Adoptive nor biological! :Q

My roommate came up with a grand idea: you have to pass an IQ test before you can have or produce kids. This means that both the boys and girls will have an operation when young to make them sterile. When you're 'ready' to have kids, a comprehensive IQ test will be required. If you pass, you get your vasectomy or tubal ligation reversed. ;)

Quite honestly, I have lesser and lesser faith each year as I see kids of various ages and the way they act...but it all comes together when I meet their parents!

So 2 smart parents won't necessarily create a smart child & vice versa. This test doesn't really work.

But I agree with the general statement: parenting is not a right. Irresponsible/stupid/incapable people should not be allowed to have children.

I believe "babby" is the word you are looking for.

You misspelled "babby" and "formed".
