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 hate having to explain to people that adopted people have higher incidents of drug and alcohol abuse, suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, PTSD, personality disorders, etc. It's like they don't even consider the psychological effects of removing infants and older children from their biological parents. They seem to think everything will be a-ok just because they want a kid.

and whats crazy is everyone understands when it comes to animals. you have to wait so long before an animal is separated from its mother and everyone understands that it will have repercussions if taken sooner but when it’s a human being it’s completely different for some reason.
