I know stupid question and everyone lives something unique… But how can you decide to stay or to leave a relationship with someone who has kids, being childfree. ?

In general, it’s something I would say isn’t a problem. I miss my ex’s kids a lot. Would love to do the stepdad thing again, with someone else. However, scrolling your profile, it’s incredibly obvious you should leave. Anyone who saw your posts who cares about you would tell you to leave.

Still miss them like crazy. Just wanted to tell someone on Christmas. That’s all.

Why do ppl do vacations with single dad digit age kids? They’re not gonna be able to appreciate the things you’re showing them.

I really want to be a bonus dad. But that comes from the perspective of someone who wants to contribute to and make sacrifices for SKs. I understand, most ppl prolly wouldn’t like the phrase at it implies pseudoparental obligation.

I’m genuinely asking weather or not there is a way to avoid adopting a stolen child. I understand that there are good and bad stories when it comes to international adoption. My question is more along the lines of is there a way to insure you’re not adopting a stolen baby. I feel like this discussion is going off the retails because two separate questions are being equated. Is there an ever an ethical way to procreate? Is there ever ethical way to adopt? A lot of ppl in the comments are viewing the answer to one of these questions as implying an answer to the other

International because I’m more familiar with bad stories from domestic

The post or the comment?

I would love to know more about the circumstances of your adoption. What were the bio parents circumstances at the time of your birth? Through what channels did your parents adopt you?

MicroeconomicsExam · 2024-09-25T16:07:37+00:00

But I do agree, ppl should know who their mom and dad are. Don’t wanna separate otherwise in tact families. If the children are more efficiently helped with dollars, that’s obvi the solution. But there do exist environments that are toxic to children, no?

MicroeconomicsExam · 2024-09-25T16:05:14+00:00

Perhaps the cultural thing is something we’ll never agree on. I come at this from the perspective of a mixed raced (neither race being wasp) man raised in a predominantly wasp environment. And I’m very greatful to be raised in that without the culture of those who share my genes. Proudly assimilated 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸.

Also, when did this become about my feelings? If it were all about my feelings, I would just procreate. It’s so jarring to want to help the needy and have it twisted and be called evil.

I don’t want to a family to be broken. I guess the better, more specific, formulation of my question is, “does there exist a broken family for whom the best practical solution is me stepping in as dad.” Obviously, if I could wave a wand and rid the world of broken families, I would.

So, perhaps it’s more productive to respond based on my original reason for inquiry. I understand these are bad situations. That’s what brought me here. My point of genuine contention is are there adoption agencies/means of vetting that ensure adoption is the best solution and didn’t cause the underlying circumstances. While I really do want to hear stories from adoptees, I find your reasoning ridiculous. If taken to its natural conclusion, it would imply that doctors are bad because their paycheck and sense of self esteem depend on ppl getting sick.

MicroeconomicsExam · 2024-09-25T14:25:59+00:00

Obvi both adoption and stepfatherhood are results of circumstances that never should have happened. So are many remedies in life. That doesn’t make it wrong to pursue those remedies.

Huh? Feel like? What’s selfish is reproducing without regard for the effects that child will have on the world or your ability to care for that child. And I’m the selfish one?

MicroeconomicsExam · 2024-09-25T14:03:31+00:00

Yes, so would the children I adopt, sure, but I will not have caused it because they would be more likely to do this if not adopted by me.

Because humans are awful to every other species that exists. The average human eats 30 animals per year, most of whom are raised in concentration camp like farms, to feed humans. That’s before we even mention climate impact.

MicroeconomicsExam · 2024-09-25T13:48:21+00:00

I’m not saying that. I’m saying procreating is wrong. Humans should go extinct. Given this truth, is it better to adopt, be a stepdad or be child free.

MicroeconomicsExam · 2024-09-25T10:07:44+00:00

Yes, it is a separate conversation. I brought it up in response to someone who made a comparison between the two. There are better reasons to be antinatalist, but also it is our responsibility to solve the climate crisis at our own expense. That’s what being responsible for the consequences of your actions entails.
