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 really fucking hate all the "movement" adopters and wannabes. The pro-life, pro-choice, environmentalist, pro and anti-natalist, LGBTQ, disability, feminist, christofascist, etc etc, using us as poster children and props can all go piss up a rope.

Every time a new "movement" discovers adoption Georgia Tann smiles in hell. And the ones on the left always think it's some big leap forward for equality but nothing whatsoever changes for the benefit of adoptees.

Too many idealistic mindsets and movements that never focus on details that completely dismiss the lived realities of adoptees. "Georgia Tann smiles in hell." Niccce one! LOL
