Movie couple: Oh, no! The doctor says we can’t have children! Our dreams of a family are gone forever!!! We can never be parents!! If only there was some way to still raise children, but, alas, all hope is gone!! The tragedy!!!! The heartbreak!!!!
Me: Have You Heard Of This Thing Called Adoption
Oh my word, yes. Another pet peeve is when adoption is treated as The Last Resort. You can still adopt if you have biological kids. You can still adopt before you have any clue if you can have biological kids. You can still adopt REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU WANT biological kids. Adopted kids aren’t a consolation prize.
👏Yes👏
The biggest response I’m seeing to this post is exactly that, people planning to adopt without trying for biological kids first. They’re just so excited to give a home and family to kiddos who need one, and it makes me little happier about the world.
