THIS OKAY
You want to get kids out of foster care and into good, loving homes? I’ve got a simple solution to your problem.
Did you know LGBT couples are more likely to adopt older, children of color and disable children than straight couples? LGBT couples tend to adopt ‘undesired’ children more (basically kids no one else wants.)
This is so important because I remember being in the system and being so scared that I would never be adopted or loved or whatever and seriously just fucking let them, take the fear out of finding a family
Exactly. I reblog this every time I see it. EVERY time.
Can we also normalize adoption more? I know not everyone can afford it/do it, but if you can, please don’t be afraid to make this your first option, not the “back-up“.
also adoption should NOT be expensive and should be an easy process for qualified prospective parents. find these kids fucking homes for fuck’s sake
Religious organizations shouldn’t be the primary agencies arranging adoptions and foster care. I found out years ago that states outsource the work to Catholic Charities and other Christian non-profits.
We had a royal commission into that. The results were not comforting.
Before people get too pro-adoption, please be aware of the racism in the adoption industry - and yes, there absolutely is an adoption industry. A lot of the kids adopted from abroad aren’t orphans. They have families who would be willing to take care of them, if it weren’t for poverty. Instead, they’re sold to white/western families.
Foster care in the US has its own history of racism, often tied in with religious ideas of “saving” children from their Native American families.
As for the cost of adoption — adopting from foster care isn’t expensive. It can be nearly free if you get a grant. The “adoption is expensive” story is all about people adopting from abroad or people trying to adopt infants. Which, think about why a woman might carry a pregnancy to term and then give that child up for adoption to a non-family member. The abuse involved in infant adoptions is horrifying.
That’s not to say that adoption is bad or that these kids don’t genuinely need safe, loving homes — we certainly shouldn’t ignore the homophobia — but the issue is more complicated than just “kids need homes.”

Can we also talk about how horrible the foster system is? Kids are abused horribly in the system by people just looking to collect a check from the government.....let more people adopt not just straight couples....
