I 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 THERE
please 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 wrong
adoption is not “giving up” on a child, adoption is not a last resort, adoption is not just for certain types of families
please normalize adoption
Also 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.
Please adopt and foster teenagers! So many teenagers end up in group homes because there aren’t foster parents willing to foster or adopt them.

How to go somewhere in life
1. Begin by asking yourself what you want your destination to be. That is, what would you like to accomplish in life? What are some goals that are meaningful to you?
2. Next, think carefully about what you’ve learnt along the way, and any specialist knowledge you have.
3. Identify gaps in your experience and knowledge – as these could prevent you from getting ahead. You will need to address these if you’re going to succeed.
4. Reframe mistakes and failures as good experience. You can learn from these – and other obstacles you meet. Remember, no-one’s journey ever follows a straight line. It’s how you handle defeat that determines success.
5. Take control of your thinking – and don’t listen to excuses. You need to set your mind, and be determined to succeed.
6. Don’t listen to naysayers who would love to see you fail. You can always acquire skills – and working hard will open doors. Plug your ears, stay positive, and choose to persevere.
7. Accept that fear is normal when we’re trying something new, or if we’re doing something risky, or if we’re stepping out alone. Admit and face your feelings – and in time they’ll disappear.
8. Pace yourself for a long journey - nothing worthwhile’s ever easy. But if you maintain your focus it will take you to your goal.
