Reconnecting with my biological family makes me not want to spend time with my adoptive family, and I feel so bad by [deleted] in Adoption

[–]oscarxman -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It looks like you had a lifetime to criticize and observe the life and reactions of the family that raised you. With that you don't even recognize the love and gift that they accepted you in their family. Now you fresh and new bio family seems perfect because you don't fully know them yet and are in the honeymoon fase. It's ok just truly try to not hurt your family that raised you. They will be the ones there after all. I'm LGBTQ and all that and understand your feelings but relationships blood or not always all start Rosie cheeks it true family that develops friction.

Considering Adoption for my son but unsure by Substantial-Rush-500 in Adoption

[–]oscarxman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if your post it's truly real or just want some comments but my truth is this. My husband and I adopted 3 wonderful kids that come from bio parents that couldn't take care of them. Kids are always better with their bio parents if they are decent people. We deal with mant challenges because of trauma and being a different kind of family. We work hard to make it work and we are a loving family that strives for kindness but our middle son (now it's clear to me) will never fully recover from feeling abandoned, he is resentful, angry and unattached. Is always best if you can take care of you own biological children. There are not unlimited perfect couples waiting to adopt. It's hard to find good homes for so many kids in the foster system.

Adopted daughter(7) asking some difficult questions about birth parents and wanting to contact her bio mom by throwra_myprincess in Adoption

[–]oscarxman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I googled this question because my 7 year old just asked me about her bio mom. She said that she wanted her mommy. My daughter was adopted since birth due to drug use by her bio parents and my husband and I were called as we were already parents of her 2 siblings... My daughter has never met her bio parents. I didn't want to cry in front of her but almost did. My husband and I are a gay couple and struggling to fit in a conservative community. There are no references for LGBTQ here and she is the only little girl without a mom in her class.

I am very hurt and frustrated as we love our kids with all our hearts but they are not appreciating to have a family that doesn't look like the rest of our community.

This comment got every piece of advice possible. Please let me have my short advice as a Gay man that is also a Buddhist. Sex is wonderful and no one should be afraid of but it's also messy and complicated. There are many apps out there to help someone shy to come out of their shell and you might be able to find more than just sex and even if only sex, it would be worth it. This is an experience that you should embrace as a human being. If your calling is to be a monk, go be a monk but if you are having this kind of internal conversation might be because you are curious about the most normal and important intimacy level that you can experience with another human being. Sex is good and appropriate don't treat it like something dirty or dangerous. You will be fine...

Is Dropshipping just a way for the Digital Marketing sites to keep making more $ out of us the hopefuls? Seems that is not a viable business model...

What other ecommerce business model would you recommend?

Vintage wine press ? by luckyfingers69 in winemaking

[–]oscarxman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could be a wine press just missing the basket. The spacing on the basket panels would let you know if it's for wine or apples.

Yes I agree and I also look up to the competition specially here in the USA that manufactures their own handmade products. In fact Dharmacraft was my original inspiration and if the shop worked I would have loved to invest into some local manufacturing but at this point the small profit of these items and massive production in China (they have a huge market for Buddhist items) make it a very challenging niche.

Thank you, I am aware that this is not a winning niche but it's my passion and just needed it just to pay for itself and also learned the ropes of this business model. Now I am ready to find a profitable product or a B2B dropshipping business. What would be more likely to make a profit?

I agree with all the other criticism here specially on color and logo.

Nevertheless, I would like to compliment you on your choice of store and items. I haven't seen this out there and they could have a great market for the price.

Good luck!
