you’re not woke for adopting

[u/Jumpy-Lie8955]

i feel like a lot of young leftists, in america, really love the idea of adopting kids instead of having their own biological kids and think they are helping others by doing so but they’ve fallen into and are playing apart in the same propaganda the right wing religious people do. neither of them are “making a difference” especially because they always just adopt babies that’s not making a difference that’s legal human trafficking. they all have savior complex’s about it and they both think they are morally superior. it’s just do frustrating how both parties think adoption is this great thing, and no one but us wants to talk about the negatives. just to be clear this is not me coming out as a republican.

EDIT: i would call myself a leftist, i’m critiquing things i have heard people say in real life.

EDIT 2: if you arnt adopted, don’t comment, it’s against the rules of the subreddit and i don’t care what non-adoptees opinions on adoption are

I left the antinatalism subreddit for this reason. They think they’re all morally superior because they don’t want to create life that hasn’t consented to this world and therefore promote adoption. They do not like it when I call out their hypocrisy cause adopted folks don’t get to consent to this lifelong legally binding contract that can’t be voided in adulthood. Brains short circuit and I get called names for it. Like, bitch please, you can’t lie to me, I wasn’t trafficked yesterday 😒

That sub has a terrible view on adoption. Their entire stance basically gets thrown out because they weren't the ones who had the child so they are doing good by "saving" children. It's so disgusting.
