There are plenty of people who have kids when they aren't ready and make it work good. It could have been a good spin off too.
shareHow? He was a college student without his own place to live and no way to support Tommy financially. The fact that the agency even gave him the option is unbelievable even for this show.
shareIt wouldn't have been a good idea for Tommy to end up with Eric, knowing that he would turn into a complete moron next season. Tommy would've had to raise Eric. Unless the Eric's character would've been written a different way as a responsible father. I'm just glad that Tommy came back to thank Eric on Girl Meets World.
shareEric, had no job, no wife, and was a college student. I think he did look into it, but he didn't have the means to support a child. He could barely support himself.
shareUh... no??? A little kid isn't the same thing as a pet.
shareIt's a shame that it's pretty much the norm nowadays for people in their early 20s, who have no money and aren't responsible at all, to have kids (and a lot of the time, on purpose, which is even dumber).
So, no, Eric definitely should NOT have adopted Tommy. As difficult of a decision as I'm sure it was for him to make, there are way too many people having kids nowadays (though I understand that in this case, it would have been adoption) who absolutely shouldn't be. Eric at 21 (or whatever age he was) would definitely fall into that category.
farting out a kid [or more than one] is vastly different then adopting a child. There are forms to fill out, money to give over ... checkpoints by officials to get through.
people fart out kids because for some bizarre reason, they are fertile. We have ten year old girls getting their periods, meaning their bodies are apparently ready to carry children. It is insane.
and if you are a lazy ass, farting out kid after kid after kid isn't dumb ... how else can these aholes afford plasma TV's and cocaine?
Reading the paper can really be depressing. Mr. Dithers fired Dagwood again.

And often, people enable and even encourage these sorts to have children. My mom's friend's daughter got married at 18 despite not having finished high school (and never did), having a dead-end job, and still living at home. She and her husband have had three kids by now, and they all share the same room, which has been that daughter's bedroom since childhood. Yet everyone seems to congratulate them, and support their family. It's very messed up, and it seems a lot of people in our society are following that path in life. I doubt it's healthy for kids to be raised like that.
I know. that is most of my school's population. I just have a problem with how these people are allowed to not participate in their adult lives.
if you are physically unable to work [which for most things is a joke: even Chris Reeve worked after his accident!] you should not be able to:
have more than 2 kids.
have a dog that is a pit bull/anything aggressive.
get weaves in their hair and look like Beyoncé.
dress to the nines while their kids smell of literal shi7.
get to school on time only to yell at teachers when otherwise you don't come to collect your kids until 6pm.
drop your kids off at school, hungry, dirty and exhausted while you go back and smoke doobie.
own a tv larger than 30 inches. no matter the room size.
a wii or xbox or whatever the kids are playing with nowadays.
all the rated M games for said whatevers they are playing with.
buy three carts worth of crap at BJ's and then try to haggle the bill. [I kid you not this really happened]
among many other things they take for granted.

So people who can't work through no fault of their own don't deserve to have a few luxuries? That's asinine. I don't know how you think things like food stamps work but it's not like that.
shareWhy do you keep saying these days? When was it less likely to have kids at a younger age?

Consider the daffodil. And while you're doing that I'll be over here looking through your stuff.
it's not about having kids ant a chronological age, but emotional age.
i see this all the time at my school. parents who are not 30 with 10 kids and their eldest is 15. do the math. then, guess what... fifteen year old ends up preggers. and soon to be grandma has not only no problem with it but is actually HAPPY about it! yeh. actually happens. not a moment of truth movie screenplay. this happens.
i see too many parents still act the age they were before they were pregnant/knocked up a girl ten+ years after the kid is born. ...
my last [in his eyes] almost boyfriend was a 43 year old grandfather. his parenting started 27 years ago when he had a daughter at the age of 16. then she had a kid at 16.
but when I had health problems and needed a colonoscopy at 38 years old he was indifferent. i told him what was going on and when i was having the procedure and what the procedure consisted of well beforehand. he calls the day before the procedure [liquid diet of light colored foods/liquids only] wanting to go out right now! AND THEN the day OF THE PROCEDURE... 'i feel like shi7' 'so we can't go out????
asswhole.
Oh God. Fortune vomits on my eiderdown once more. Edmund Blackadder.
After watching the episode of GMW when Tommy comes back it is clear that it was overall the best decision that he was not adopted by Eric.
All you need is love!

I'm with everyone else on this. I have an 18 year old friend that had unprotected sex and got pregnant. She's barely 3 months and already freaking out because she's realizing that life isn't easy anymore and it's kicking her ass. Eric did the Very best thing he could do for Tommy by not keeping him. Tommy even said so when they ran into each other on Girl Meets World.
