it's a good thing adoption exists. look at the benefits:

1) the woman doesn't have to go through birth! 

2) No more fighting over abortions and other nonsense

3) You get to save a kid from being homeless the rest of his life (or dying if he/she is from a poor country)

 

Sounds neat, doesn't it? I honestly wouldn't mind adopting all my future kids. I'd happily ignore judgemental people and prefer to take care of one of the several billion kids already alive. My kids don't need to be made from me just to deserve love.

That's an amazing statement to make and it's inspirational if I'm honest. You have just cut through that superstition thing about blood / adoption.

It's made me think a bit about that. I think this is something we are taught in society subtly that adoption is a kind of thing you only do if you can't have kids yourself. But the way you put it just cuts that idea into the superstition it unknowingly is.

Thanks, appreciated.

People in my culture act like a kid not from you is somehow inferior for no magical reason.

 

I've never understood why adoption isn't popular. It solves population issues, helps children from war torn countries, allows a woman to have a child without going through the pain of childbirth, and prevents a child from being born without approval from both parents. You need to sign papers to adopt a child. All you need to have a baby is some sperm which can come by accident.

 

It isn't really a political or religious thing now that I think about it. Just our ignorance
