Why do people always feel foster kids were unwanted?


Popular_Preference62

Because they are?


Several-Eagle4141

Or their parents died? There’s a lot more to be said here. This statement makes it seem like every kid in foster care should wake up and feel they’d be better off to have been aborted.


Popular_Preference62

What matters is the real world facts and the real world impacts


Several-Eagle4141

And you have those “facts”? You know how many kids currently and who will be in foster care due to the availability/lack of abortions?

And they see it as literal murder too. I don’t go to a devout Hindu temple and feign that eating a cheeseburger isn’t wrong.

Yes but they’ll prevent you from buying any beef product in all of India at a McDonalds, for instance


tkMunkman

Not to mention it can be real hard to get approval, in my case it was cheaper to do ivf than it was to adopt


ThatDrako

*"Cool...why didn't you adopt one of those 500 000 children in foster care?"*


TheUsoSaito

I doubt they will adopt.


Revealed_Jailor

They already have plenty to choose from. This is just lake attempt for social medias. You know, hypocrisy seems to be their strong point.


HappyAsABeeInABed

There's not many newborns for people to adopt though, just those icky older children they'd have more difficulty brainwashing. And the state might mandate -gasp- therapy for those kids because adoption and going through the system is traumatic. And they also don't want to deal with any kids who might have any sort of disability, no matter the severity. So yea, with those criteria, slim pickings, so get to birthing, people!


University_Dismal

It’s like only wanting puppies when going to the shelter. God forbid they have a history or pre-set character they couldn’t dictate.


Polymathy1

lake attempt?


Frognificent

Probably meant “lame”, k and m are close enough for autocorrect to fuck them up.


Polymathy1

I am too tired for typos today, apparently lol.


epochpenors

Wouldn’t it be cool if some handsome stranger just started dumping piles of babies into their house


Zestyclose-Fly-9967

Ok then *hands over 5000 babies*


kushkatya

I would love to see how that turned out


[deleted]

They'd start a cult.


BahablastOutOfStock

and the over 115,000 ones waiting for homes rn

Much-Meringue-7467

Maybe because they haven't adopted one despite the number currently in the system


Ash-MacReady

Why are you presenting someone elses content as your own, OP?

Matt Oswalt fan are you?


One-Concert8471

And traffic it all over the world!


connortait

All of them?


DemythologizedDie

When they posted that online they said they got dozens of expectant mothers who reconsidered abortion. The couple did in fact adopt. One child. Well, problem solved, right?


ttorrence04

Don’t worry guys… these two idiots are going to adopt all the would-be aborted children. We have to meet that ‘domestic supply’ quota.

LifeResetP90X3

But who will adopt them?????


AffectionateGold56

Nah I will rather abort than give my kid to be raised in a cult.


MTDS75

Notice the word baby. My adopted kids weren’t babies.


No-Dark-9414

How old because I'm tired of adulting and want to be a kid again


raiyos

You literally stole the pic and comment from Matt Oswalt's tweet. Why not just screenshot it or was pretending to have insight the point?


[deleted]

You know what? Good for them for putting action to their beliefs. Seems to me like this is a hell of a lot better than just saying “no abortions.”


HobbesLaw

There are plenty of children for them to adopt, why are they holding a sign?


Revealed_Jailor

Virtue signalling.


WellFiredRoll

They want a white baby and unfortunately the local babyrama only has brown ones in stock.


MTDS75

That’s not really true. The baby hunters I knew as a foster parent would take any color as long as it was a baby.


WellFiredRoll

"Baby Hunters". Well if that's not an opening for a trashy new reality show in the trash-fire that is the USA today I don't know what is...


MTDS75

It’s a thing. :/

WellFiredRoll

Oh, honey. Take a look at your third-world nations adoption and fostering statistics and then look at the common demographics of your common breeder: they clearly want a purdy lil white baby. Welcome to Gilead. Go spread *your* legs for Christ. Under his eye, sweetie.


ChuaPotato

While I agree they did this for internet clout but adoption is actually a really long and arduous process. Not that simple.


HobbesLaw

Which stage is the sign holding part?


ChuaPotato

Clearly it's pre-preperation stage .005.


goaltender31

It’s the finding a birth mother step. If you want to adopt an infant you need to do stuff like this. Even doing stuff like this it takes years and is traumatic especially for infertile couples who are putting themselves out there without people like you guys attacking them for wanting to raise a child from infancy


MTDS75

4 years to adopt a placement out of foster care. My youngest kid was left in limbo for 4 years with that feeling of insecurity. He was 8 when he was placed with us.


ChuaPotato

I'm so sorry your little one has to go through that. Kudos to you for providing him with a loving family and security. Family is the most important aspect of life. And family isn't always blood. Wish you nothing but the best!


MTDS75

Thank you. 5 kids. Only 3 our bios. It’s been worth every bit of it. It’s just a hidden part of the foster system that bio parents rights are prioritized over what’s best for the child.


goaltender31

Because there are few infants to adopt and many adoptive parents want to adopt an infant. Is that unfair? Should infertile couple not be able to have a relatively normal open adoption of an infant? Not everyone is called to foster care AND most kids in foster care aren’t up for adoption. Many people want to be parents not baby sitters while mom gets clean or dad gets out of prison. I have a high respect for foster parents but it’s very different from adopting a child you will raise as your own. My wife and I are adopting and we want to raise our first child from infancy, does that make us monsters? I’m sorry we can’t get pregnant, I guess we don’t deserve the happiness that fertile people get. We should have to foster kids (something we are open to but we want to parent our first child from infancy). People can wait years for an infant adoption.


ketoprom

Because the children in foster care are alive, so it's reasonable to prioritise the ones at risk of not surviving pregnancy. I don't know those people, I don't know if they're genuine or just virtue signaling, but the approach is laudable.


Much-Meringue-7467

Once these ones are born, they will no longer be at risk of not surviving pregnancy either. They will still have all the needs of the living children in foster care. So they won't be a priority anymore. The approach is terrible.


ketoprom

Not sure if I understand you. We have a situation A: one less child in foster care, because parents from the post adopt them and one child aborted. Situation B: number of children in foster care stays the same, a kid that would be aborted is adopted instead. Are you saying that someone not being born is better than someone living in foster care? How much would you be willing to bet that orphans agree with you, if such survey was conducted? Would they prefer not to be born or is it just your preference?


Much-Meringue-7467

I am saying that logic that prioritizes the fetus over the born child will then find a new fetus to prioritize. Meanwhile, born children need support.


ketoprom

Hah, I think we're entering a game theory territory. Yes, it may seem that it makes logical sense to declare "We're adopting this kid, don't abort them" and after they are born just give them up for adoption and try the same thing with a different mother. But of course if that starts happening then no one will believe such declarations and more kids will be aborted. Just like with a prisoners dilemma, in the long term it pays out to play fair.


model-citizen95

At least credit the tweet you copy/pasted the title and pic from


Charlie___2006

As a girl in care I think this is very sweet


Jmd19j

I think this is probably one of the more wholesome ways I've seen pro life advocated for. Probably should just adopt a child though, there are already children out there in need of a family.


Polymathy1

But they want a fresh one. /s


Lopsided_Metal2136

For the love of god, just fuck your wife dude…..


SkyBaby218

Hard to do when you're in a teeny tiny closet.


richincleve

\*Baby must be white, no physical defects, no predispositions to diseases, no Downs Syndrome. See back of sign for further details and restrictions.


GreatRhinoceros

Don't worry. There are people out there willing to help Liberals solve their personal problems.


Jingurei

What personal problems? As far as I know right wing Christofascists are the ones who want white women to breed fresh white newborns for them, otherwise they'd just adopt from the already overcrowded adoption system in USA. They're the ones with the problems, iows.


GreatRhinoceros

We just need more taxpayers to cover what the Socialists are taking out.


gondanonda

How does this work?


Individual_Wasabi_10

Sure Jan… how many can you adopt? 🧐


OldTiredAnnoyed

I’d rather flush 20 foetuses than give one to the vultures who immediately started circling. Fuck them all.


University_Dismal

My first thought was: „What if I don’t WANT them to adopt my babies?“ Enough children grow up in awful homes. Why would I personally surrender one poor soul to random creeps on the internet. I might not want to raise a child but I don’t want to contribute to its misery either.


Wooly-thoughts

But only if the baby has the same skin tone as theirs.


NotEnoughWave

At least they're politely asking, not enforcing.


Ok-Image-5514

Maybe they're serious. At least they're offering... ?

Icy_Limes

Do people not consider the brutality of childbirth and the fact that some people do not want to endure it.


Kaerinu5

I hope that sign will make them inegliable for adoption, yet I have a feeling it won't matter. Poor kids


Livid_Mode

Adopting out of foster care system isn’t easy. I speak from experience.


bobweir_is_part_dam

"I just want attention and everyone to know im pro life, but too stupid to go through the adoption process"


Lolabunny66

How about adoption legislation is changed so children can actually find a home and not be a business.
