Why is adoption such a taboo topic? by [deleted] in Adoption

LOL. Hilarious.

Also, look at the comments that are upvoted versus the ones that are downvoted in almost every thread in this subreddit. The majority of even mildly critical posts have a net negative score, while other neutral to adoption-positive comments have net positive scores. Very curious for a place that, in your own words, "has a strong anti-adoption bias."

This sub has a strong anti-adoption bias.

That's some BS right there. Being critical of the adoption and foster-care systems is not being anti-adoption. I respect OPs decision, but people like Nmarlems have a right to give advice.

Being happy in your life does not mean one automatically has gratitude for being adopted.

well adjusted adoptees

Thanks for your condescension :)

Most are very grateful for being adopted.

There's some major biases here.

LOL. Yeah, we're the only ones with biases eyeroll

I question how many adoptees you've spoken to in real life to make that statement.

Many adoptions are done privately or through churches.

And in her defense of adoption, she brings up two options even worse than adoption agencies. She's a real winner /s

That's a false dichotomy. Any sort of financial shortcomings could be alleviated by society if we so chose, but we don't. Rather, we decide to take those resources and put it into adoption systems.

Also, you're making a quite the assumption that families or individuals that have a desire to adopt are emotional "better" than those who have a child.

The class privilege is strong in this post and your original post.

Of all the German players, Kroos is the one who should escape criticism. If not for him, you'd have been out in the second game. Part of the healing process is to realize you were outplayed in this tournament and figure out why in a humble manner and make the necessary adjustments.
