here is an idea: normalise the idea that adopting kids is a valid option even for parents who could conceive a child themselves, and not just an inferior backup option for parents who can’t

[diamondsdroog]

Just coming from an adopted kid, the benefits of adoption: -When your kid asks where they come from you can literally say you pre-ordered them and waited for them to come in. My dad always equated picking me up from the hospital to ordering a sofa at k-mart and it always made me laugh. No need to explain pregnancy till they’re older. -Your child will always know it was wanted and on purpose. My parents waited 5 years for me. They waited. For me to be born. I was wanted, from the moment I came into this world, by the people who raised me. -You don’t have to pay for pregnancy or birth. Just adoption fees. No thirty thousand dollar hospital bill. -You don’t have to give birth, or be pregnant, both of which objectively suck. -The biological parents of that baby will be so happy that there is someone in the world who is willing to watch over their child. The relief that comes with that is overwhelming. -You’re saving a child’s life that would otherwise potentially be stuck in the adoption and foster system for their entire childhood. I’ve always heard arguments about wanting the baby to be ‘yours’ but really. My parents are my parents. Just because I don’t share their DNA doesn’t mean I’m not theirs. When it comes right down to it, blood of the bond is thicker than water of the womb.

As another adopted kid, I second every point made here. When I’m asked if it’s weird having been adopted, the simple answer I always give is, “No, because I know for damned sure my parents love me and I love them to death too.”

Let a child into your life who needs a good life of their own. Consider adoption.

Also stop believing TV, Kids wanna be adopted and most of them aren’t gonna get with their adopted parents and then be like “well it’s been fun having you raise me since before I could talk and loving me for the past 12-15 years but fuck you now I’m going to find my real family and live with them forever and be a “normal teenager/child.”

America needs to stop putting blood relationships above every other type of family.

[thepageofhopes]

Also, as an addition to everything but especially the last point: TELL YOUR KID THEY ARE ADOPTED. The last situation only happens if its kept a secret because it becomes a grass is always greener scenario. If the child knows, it becomes a normal thing.

Coming from another adoptee. Foreign born ( Russian )

- It’s incredibly important to tell your child they’re adopted. Let them live their heritage and their past •I just got a DNA test to know where my unknown father was probably from. Finland!! And my mother Russian born! - Adopted kids are going to have rough spots a couple days a year. Let them have it! Let them be upset for missing parents they never met! It’s a natural thing! -Giving up a child is the hardest bing to do no matter who you’re talking to. Either adoption, orphanage, or foster care, adopted kids are put in others care in hope for a better life! -The “Who are your /real/ parents” thing needs to fucking end - Adopted kids are chosen and not stuck with a family. They are loved from birth to death. If that means at 6 months, 6 years, 6 grades, so be it. Their parents love them the moment they come into their lives. NURTURE OVER NATURE AND BLOOD!!!

- ADOPTION IS A LEGITIMATE OPTION FOR PARENTS BOTH WANTING A CHILD OR WANTING A BETTER LIFE FOR THEIR CHILD!!! DONT FIND THOSE PARENTS (USUALLY SINGLE MOTHERS) DISGUSTING. THEY KNOW WHATS BEST. NOT YOU. LOVE BEFORE BLOOD.

anna nardini is a fucking awful person and I’m so mad at this stupid show for making me hate a character played by sherilyn fenn

who the hell could be selfish enough to keep their kid from meeting their dad for twelve years then when the dad comes into the kid’s life, decide it’s inappropriate for the dad’s fiancée to be anywhere near the kid because “people get engaged all the time” (well in stars hollow they bloody do anyway that’s for sure but not the point)? like? you don’t get to decide that? he’s her dad? he should get to have his daughter in his life? his life includes his partner?

This is the first time I’ve watched gilmore girls but because it was on so long ago/i follow lots of people who have been into it at various points/I have already read all the dirty Luke/Lorelai fanfic I can get my grubby mitts on, I basically know all the main plot points and have a rough idea when they’re gonna be happening.

I’m not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing because I know season seven is going to suck, and I’m midway through season six and I’m sad about it.
