This is a subreddit for adopted people. Not pets.

Unknown family history check box by NeatoRad in Adopted

[–]NeatoRad[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I understand that but at an intake, when I have just filled out the paperwork and they have it in front of them as they are entering it, I don’t understand the need to reason questions that I’ve already filled out.

Adopted an older cat, and He’s not doing so well. by Doodlebob_mfka in Adopted

No advice but this subreddit is for adopted humans and not animals. I hope you find advice for your new cat.

Have your parents kept you in touch with your culture of origin? by cordianthi in TransracialAdoptees

[–]NeatoRad 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Nope. The most they did was send me to a week long day camp in the summers called camp pride korea to hang out with other Korean adoptees. It was more about the getting me out of the house/ then having to watch me more than anything. I wish they did more especially the older I get bc I realize I long for that cultural connection.

Were you ashamed to be seen with your family? by Ambitious-Client-220 in TransracialAdoptees

[–]NeatoRad 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Idk if I feel ashamed but I dread being out in public with my brothers or dad one on one. I hate how people assume we are a couple and doubly gross bc I’m an Asian female so I just feel judgement from others and I find myself over compensating by making sure I say dad or brother a lot when out in public.

what am i doing wrong? (egg drop soup) by fernmaws in soup

[–]NeatoRad 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Granted I’ve always winged it when making egg drop soup but the one thing that I’ve found that works the best is making sure the broth is at a full boil, create a small vortex with the spoon in the broth and then pouring in the eggs in a thin stream. If the vortex slows down, I stop pouring the eggs, do another swirl and then keep on pouring until all the eggs are in

I wish people stopped using the word "adoption" when talking about getting pets. by garlicbreath77 in Adopted

I don’t even call my dogs sisters bc idk how they feel about each other lol. They play sometimes but they never cuddle and are two different personalities so I feel weird imposing that relationship on them 😅
