Lunatic. Just lunatic. Isn't it sad? A couple I know have adopted children and all have grown up now, and have children of their own, they all love one another.I don’t know if this is an American viewpoint mainly but I’ve seen it said by a few young British adoptees - I’ve attached some screenshots I’ve seen in response to Roe va Wade and the discussion of adoption. Now I don’t believe women should be forced to have children, I don’t believe adoption is the alternative of abortion and those couples holding ‘we will adopt your baby’ signs at anti abortion protests are creepy AF. But I am quite shocked about how there are so many adoptees who are flat out against adoption. Of course they have gone through trauma themselves and every adoption story begins with trauma. But I don’t get why so many are so vitriolic against any form of adoption, adoptive parents talking about how they talk with their adoptive children and include them as much as their biological children and adoptees who have said they have had a good life. It’s almost like they want the process of adoption and fostering to end but what would happen to the children in care etc? I know that adoption isn’t perfect and people can be abused and damaged by it but I’m not sure what solution they want? It also hit a point because in the U.K. today adoption charities have asked people to think about adopting older children, children of different colour, children with disabilities- I’m worried if this thought process becomes prevalent then more children will stay in care?
Would be great if anyone who is an adoptee could weight in too because I am a bit perplexed by this viewpoint.

Abortion has been around for a very long time , and it's a choice ( unless it's taken out of your hands, through medical advice or an emergency)
