totalspiffage:oops-hi-boybandersinlove:hobbitry-in-arms:smokingchocolatecake:somethingratchet:boredpanda:Heartwarming Pics Of Children Who Were Just AdoptedI love adoption stories. My mom adopted 3 kids and she never let us or anybody else make a difference out of the 6 of us. My biological brother had the same name as my adopted brother and people could not understand why my mom would name 2 sons in succession, Johnny. But we wouldn’t explain it. Adopt kids. Make it normal. Not the the thing u do simply when u cant.This will melt a heart of stone.^^^^ THAT PERSON UP THEREplease normalize the fuck out of adoption, i’ve given speeches and lectures and written papers about all the misconceptions and fears and rumors that plague the issues of adoption and make this perfectly normal, healthy, happy thing a rare occurrence in our society and that is sad and wrongadoption is not “giving up” on a child, adoption is not a last resort, adoption is not just for certain types of familiesplease normalize adoptionAlso please normalize adopting teenagers. I’m not saying you shouldn’t adopt young children and babies, but there are so many teens out there that just don’t get adopted because of their age. So please normalize adopting teens! I hate adding on to long posts, but as someone who spent time in foster care growing up I have to chime in. Foster parents are amazing, and so are adoptive parents. My foster parents, brothers and sisters made a huge impact on who I am. Please adopt. Adopted kids are not worth less than blood relations. Stop that line of thought. -- source link
