It's funny, I've heard so many people say that they wouldn't want to adopt a child because it wouldn't be a part of them or be anything like them. It's a conversation someone really doesn't want to get into when I'm around because I tend to go up one side of them and down the other, in the nicest of ways, of course. My mum and dad adopted me when ( Read more... )

You know, I've heard that said by surprising sources, and I've never understood why someone would say that. How can any feeling person not fall in love with a child that needs a caring and loving home? I believe quite strongly in adoption, and I rather wish it wasn't quite so difficult for some to adopt. Of course, on the flipside of that, it's always heart breaking to see a parent abuse a child, but that's a whole nother topic. At any rate, this was lovely, your parents did a wonderful job with you.

I've always thought that was kind of bullshit myself; it's like the whole thing where people have kids to be like artifact versions of themselves instead of just to raise a child. I might have adopted if I hadn't had Anna, although I probably wouldn't have because kids were the last thing on my mind at that point, and god knows where or what I'd be doing now if that were the case, but haha I am losing my point. I'm not even sure I had one anyway. But your parents were very nice and it's obvious just from watching you with them how close and how comfortable and easy things are between you and them. That always seems a little like a miracle to me when I see it. Oooh, texts, I am coming up with some doozies as we speak. I will have to come join you in your mood.

Haha, those types of people are probably the ones we want to reproduce the least, in my opinion, anyway! I would adopt if I had kids but I still haven't decided whether I want to or not. They thought you were really great, and told me to tell you that you're welcome back anytime! But yeah, I have a lot of respect and love for my parents; they're much more like friends than family a lot of the time. Haha I cannot wait and I am so glad you did. More, please.

Your parents sound like such interesting people from what you've told me. :[ And text message, expect plenty of abuse.

They are lovely, I adore them. They think you're pretty fantastic too from what I've told them. ;) You better! They will make me smile I'm sure of it.

Aw, you've told them about me? I didn't know that. And watch, I'll end up texting you when I have the urge to nudge you and can't. :-*

I think it's more the joy of having children than passing on the genes that people are really looking for.
