somewhere out there in king’s cross today, harry potter will tell albus severus potter that it’s okay to be a slytherin if that’s what the hat sorts him as

later today, albus will bump into a kid in an empty compartment that he’ll end up sharing his hogwarts life with, and his life after that

teddy lupin and victorie weasley will kiss on the station platform and be interrupted by james potter. hugo granger-weasley and lily luna potter will chat about what will happen when they get to go to hogwarts. rose granger-weasley is starting her first year too, ready to beat albus in every subject

it’s been nineteen years (and a bit) since the battle of hogwarts

the next generation is going to hogwarts to make their own stories

Mexican bakers in Texas were trapped inside for two days, so they made pan dulce for hundreds of Harvey victims

Four bakers who became trapped in their bakery for two days in the wake of Hurricane Harvey made hundreds of loaves of bread to give to flood victims. The workers from the El Bolillo Bakery in Houston, Texas, used up nearly 2,000kg of flour to bake bread and pan dulce, Mexican sweet bread, throughout the night and day after they were left stranded by the floods over the weekend.

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. 

[guactactical-deactivated2017040]

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.

[eronthebender]

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.

[betternutterbutter]

As a child who was adopted when I was 12, I was totally in support of my adoption. Actually the final hearing was postponed a short while so I could turn 12 & submit my own statement to the judge. I went through so many years of abuse, neglect, and abandonment. I *wanted* someone who *wanted* me. I love my Mama Bear with all my heart. She’s my world. She saved my life.

Consider adopting. There are so many children in the foster & adoption systems that are desperate for a loving home. I’ve also been through the foster system, and it is hell. Straight up. There is no money, too many kids for the system to handle, and social workers who have been so beaten down by the bureaucracy that they don’t try anything. And that is the Canadian system. I cannot imagine what kind of fresh hell the U.S. system is like. Save a child from that. And not only babies are options. Consider it. Please.

[halffizzbin]

The way people dismiss non-genetic familial bonds is honestly such pervasive and insidious bullshit!! Literally the number one response to telling people I was adopted (particularly when I was young) was always, “oh, ooooooh, SORRY, I didn’t KNOW” — like I had been forced to admit something uncouth and embarrassing?? — followed by “so do you know who your REAL parents are?”

People are always asking if growing up adopted made me feel inferior, or insecure, or somehow bad. No, it never did! But you know what does?? This: “I don’t think I could ever adopt. I want a REAL kid. Oh, you know what I mean…. who’s really MINE, you know?”

[somewhatstacey]

I’m going through a lot of uterus-related medical fuckery right now and EVERY TIME I bring up the subject of a hysterectomy people (including doctors) get that pinched look, all, “but KIDS!” 

It doesn’t go away when I say, “I don’t want kids, and if I change my mind, I can adopt.” If anything it just gets weirdly condescending, like I don’t understand how “inferior” that option is. FUCK. OFF. 

[zizzani]

I have this same argument with my mum a lot.

For me, it’s not so much that I don’t want children, it’s that I never want to put my body through pregnancy. I have always stood firmly that if I get older and decide that I do want kids, I’m adopting them. It frustrates me so much that people give me this pitying look and say something along the lines of “but what if they’re damaged”. As if it’s a child’s own fault that they are in foster or adoption systems.

Adopting children through out all ages, not just from birth, is such a wonderful thing to do, and honestly I would adopt as many kids as I would be allowed.

[withatemperofqueens]

Plus, on a more environmentally friendly note, adopting kids is a great option. The world is so overpopulated and we’re not helping by having MORE kids, so instead of contributing to that you can have a child who’s already been born. You decrease rate of population explosion, AND you have kid! Everyone is happy.
