    That’s why adoption is the best option. It’s not your fault they exist, but they need a loving home.

      adoption is actually surprisingly expensive and difficult, and they vet the shit out of potential parents, heavily discourages single parents if there ever has been one. thats why some of them take advantage of going overseas to adopt. fostering might be more better.

      Adopting a 7 year old or older is the best option. There are 36 couples waiting to adopt for every infant that is up for adoption in the US. The older kids get largely ignored and will likely age out of foster care without ever finding a forever family.

        Definitely! Personally, I think skipping the part when the child is just a crying, pooping machine that doesn’t sleep through the night is a win.
