People treat adopting kids the same way they treat adopting dogs - they want them when they're cute babies but not when they're older.
ironmandrew
You'll adopt my baby? How about adopting any of the 400k other children in foster care.

How about they get a punch instead?

I shit you not, I once went to a foster parent information session and a woman wanted a foster kid as a friend for her son. She talked about

The foster kid as if it were a pet. Literally like “what do we do with him when my son is at his dads”

Adopt one of the 400000 kids already in the system then...

My nephews are in foster care and have been for over 4 years. Not a single person has attempted to adopt them. I cant due to mental illness.

I so hope that got called out right to their face
pigsoink
There are over 100,000 kids in the US alone that need homes. Babies are not commodities. We do not need a “domestic supply of infants”.
pigsoink
If you truly want a child you’d be willing to live any child you could get. That being said, the adoption process is difficult and expensive
pigsoink
We need to work on making it easier for these children to find a loving forever family.
hollowedskin
It's because they don't want a "damaged" kid from the foster system. Fuck these people.

Dont be so quick to judge. They may have tried/be trying. Adopting through the foster system is a long and rigorous process. Years.

creamyonions
Also gotta be a farm-fresh baby. They don't want one that has been started by someone else.
MCNewYorkLives
What about the kids left motherless bc the mom wasn't allowed an abortion for a nonviable pregnancy that put her life at risk? Them too?
MCNewYorkLives
Gonna also adopt ALL the babies? Because there are about 1M abortions a year...so we got 1, what about the others?
SeanBeanJovi
Well once you deduct all the pregnant people who opt for suicide then the ones who are murdered by their SOs who don't want them pregnant...
GuestChrist
Don't the replacement theory types understand that when you force white women to give birth you're also forcing every demographic you hate?
chewballs
That's a feature not a flaw, as some asshat US politician pointed out "the maternal death rate isn't as bad if you don't count black women"
chewballs
So by forcing poor women that can't afford healthcare to give birth safely you are mostly killing black & other minority groups
newsguycraigevans
The cruelty is the point
GuestChrist
I guess the bastards do know what they're doing then.
chewballs
Yep it's ethnic cleansing without having to admit that's what you are doing... unless you say the quiet part out loud like Bill Cassidy did

Deaths aside, black women are going to be overpoliced and over-sentenced for getting abortions too, and felons can't vote.

Some (wrongly) think the longer a child is in the system the more work they will be. Truth is ALL Children /

makeiteasykeepitsleazy
Absolutely. All children are work and worthy of love. But to pretend that children with trauma/abuse aren’t more likely to require special

care does them and potential adoptive families a disservice. When we were starting the foster process the social workers spent a lot of time

making sure we were aware of, and able and willing to deal with, the potential for special needs and behavioral issues so that we were ready

To be fair. He most likely is quoting the below source.
PolyTheWicked
Note that it mentions “infants” a year or younger. There are thousands of older kids in the system, but these pricks don’t want them.
GoldenBrownApples
I get why, it takes a very special person to take on older kids with way more problems. But I also feel like more people should try.
PolyTheWicked
They should definitely try if they’re going to support an abortion ban.
GoldenBrownApples
I can't shake the ads from my childhood. "You don't have to be perfect to be the perfect parent." Just trying is worth so much.
PirateOne
That phrase made it into the final draft (somewhere around page 40).
szepasszony
It was in the footnotes, not the actual draft, I think it was a quote of a source. Why he used that as a source is another question...
PirateOne
You could be right. I’m not rereading 200 pages to find it.
szepasszony
The draft is 98 pages long, I used the search function to find the phrase. It is a footnote on page 34:

From what I understand adoption is quite a difficult process to go through, takes many years and lots of $$ ?
sjpace76
Took three years and cost my friends $30K. They only have one because they couldn't go through it again.
yallmfsneedjesus
Yes. Which is why so many like this couple turn to private adoptions which are quick if you find someoneand baby can go from hospital home.
makeiteasykeepitsleazy
Private adoptions are expensive ($45kish), foster to adopt us generally free. HOWEVER the goal is always family reunification which can be
makeiteasykeepitsleazy
lengthy and understandably traumatic. There are children ready for immediate adoption but they’re likely older and likely to need special
makeiteasykeepitsleazy
care for history of trauma, abuse and/or neglect, and sometimes other special needs.

FiftyShadesOfArugula

of adopting an actual existing child in need, they'd rather help talk a kid into wrecking her body & having a kid that didn't need to exist.

yallmfsneedjesus
The hoops to jump through are INSANE to adopt through the foster care system. Its waaaay easier to do a private adoption if you findsomeone.
Mentok
Seems like there should be hoops to take possession of another human?
TickerishLicorice
Bc private adoptions are almost entirely unregulated. You just need ~45 k to buy a baby. Did I say buy? I meant fees. Yes, only broker fees.
yallmfsneedjesus
And most kids in foster care are not up for adoption for many, years because parental rights take a long time to terminate.
MoonPieTown
It takes a special person to raise foster kids. I don't blame people that acknowledge it's too much stress for them or if it's not a fit.
