anyway, my older sister was adopted when she was almost 16 (kinda on accident too), and because of that she got away from an abusive household, went from barely passing classes to being an honour student, and launching into a career where she’s happy and healthy and paying her own way. just two years of parenting where she had 3 meals a day, a bedtime, and parents to help and protect her changed her life radically. Plus, i got an older sister
adopt teenagers.
As an adopted kid I support this message
people who say things like “oh you only have a few years with them” need to remember that these are human beings not a used car. every human being deserves a support system, a jumping off block, a safe place to return
listen I have zero interest in having a baby, but I am totally down with the prospect of adopting older kids and teens later if I feel like I need a bigger family (not young kids cause im not good at young kids, my neice and nephew have solidified that fact to me), and every time I see these posts it makes me more annoyed at people who say ‘yeah but don’t you want your OWN kid?’
Like… they would be my own kid? If i ask them into my family and they say yes then that’s it they’re legally gonna be my kid why does blood have to come into it?
