Adopting an older kid is TCR IMO

Date: July 26th, 2021 5:44 AM Author: Charcoal Wonderful Goyim - Provides a kid a supportive environment in which they can thrive as a young adult - Doesn't bring a new life into this shitty world - Babies/toddlers/little kids are fucking annoying to deal with!! - For women, you don't have to endure pregnancy or childbirth - There's no timeline to worry about, like your sperm/eggs rotting; you can do it at any time
Sure, I'm curious what kind of superhuman, talented kid my genes would make. But that's the only drawback, and it isn't that bad. Some people want kids in order to leave a legacy but I don't see why they have to be related by blood, and I'll live on through my actual impact anyway. |

Date: July 26th, 2021 5:57 AM Author: twinkling generalized bond having grown up with adopted siblings, i would never adopt. people like you and TV shows like Punky Brewster romanticize adopting kids. but it's a huge challenge, far greater than having and raising your own kids. adopted kids have major issues and you just don't know what you're gonna get. all of the drama and problems my family ever had were because of my adopted siblings. and despite all the love and opportunities my parents gave them, i'm not sure their lives turned out better than if they stayed in foster care. one ended up in prison and his kid committed suicide. they're white, too.

Date: July 26th, 2021 4:45 PM Author: Charcoal Wonderful Goyim It is absolutely debatable. See all the points in the OP.
And I'm mentally ill anyway (though fortunately it's under control now!), so I doubt the chances of crazy are much worse for an adopted kid. All I can do is try my best with what I get... just like any other parent. |

You are not familiar with the relevant social science.
Almost nothing you do will matter.
Even looking past the genes (which are by far most important) the (real) mother's lunch on a ransom Tuesday during her first trimester maters 10x more to the kids long-term outcome than your 10 years (and $500k) spent raising it.
This sounds hyperbolic, but it's not. |
|
Date: July 29th, 2021 1:18 AM Author: Charcoal Wonderful Goyim ? I'm for sure going to provide that environment. I can't control what they do with it, of course.
edit: That's definitely hyperbolic, lol. I'll do my best. Even if it doesn't work out, I'll have given them an opportunity. That's a lot on its own. |

Date: October 27th, 2021 6:04 AM Author: galvanic embarrassed to the bone french chef state I’m glad there are people who think like this because it’s hard for older kids to get adopted. It is deeply depressing to think about a kid in that situation.
The risk is that the kid may be psychologically damaged as hell by that point. Read about Romanian orphan study etc
Actually babies and toddlers are fun. Hard work but when it’s your child you love them in a way that it’s hard to comprehend before having kids. It is the highlight of my day to come home to my toddler and spend time together. It keeps me going. |
|
Date: October 27th, 2021 12:10 PM Author: Charcoal Wonderful Goyim yeah, it's super depressing that these kids - who literally never asked to be born - are being totally passed over and neglected. it honestly seems like a no-brainer for me to help one of them instead of narcissistically making a new one.
they might have issues but that's true of any kid... certainly any bio child of mine would have a good chance of developing some kind of mental illness lol.
babies/toddlers are alright in small doses. and sure, i could end up liking them more if i had them, but imagine giving birth to one and being constantly annoyed by it lmao. i'm glad that yours brings you so much joy, though. 💕
someone in a different thread seems to think i'll change my mind, but i truly believe this is the best choice for me. i find each bullet point in the OP independently convincing, and there are a lot of them. this just makes sense to me, idk. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
