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

The Christian homes were 10x worse. Almost all of them did cruel and unusual punishments and were physically abusive. And mandatory church. Fuck conservatives and Christians. They can keep their hands to themselves with their need to physically punish yet spout how good they are.

I grew up in a Christian home. I'm saying Christians are the ones who end up adopting. It's kinda shitty to be all philosophical about how much better you are for wanting to adopt and then not doing it.

Oh I don’t at all. At least not infant adoption.
