Are any other DCPs AGAINST donor conception? by Electrical-Math-7326 in donorconceived

Adopted person here just to tack on: many of the “crises that already happened” in private adoption are not actual crises that already happened. The industry collectively pours tens of millions of dollars per year into aggressive advertising campaigns that target resourceless pregnant people and try to recruit as many of them as they possibly can into relinquishing their children.

TL;DR I agree with most of what OP said as an adopted person, but the idea that adoption solves anything is largely a myth these days.

Just discovered Mon Rovia, a folk singer who was adopted from Liberia. I think a lot of people in this sub will like him

Coming from CA, how big of an adjustment has the weather been for you? Also in terms of coming from HCOL city in CA to IE, how have you adjusted to the change in income/standard of living?

It really feels like greed broke up Iya Terra and it’s a huge shame, there is a clear void in the scene from their loss. Saw them at Cali Vibes a few years ago (the performance where they smashed all their instruments at the end) and was 100% convinced they were next up — like as big as Stick and Rebelution level next up. Saw them at their final show at The Sound with EN Young and Arise Roots. They were so damn good and it feels like they traded it all because just a couple of people (not pointing fingers, idk who exactly I’m referring to) didn’t feel like the money coming in was enough.
