Noooo, pls don’t use adoption as a family planning tool. That’s not what it’s meant for. It should be child centered

You can’t force someone to not adopt someone I would probably do it out of the foster care system anyway because that’s how I was adopted

How are still not getting that your decision is not child centered 😭 and what if a child in need of external care doesn’t want their birth records and family history altered?

I’ve lived through adoption, and of course, I am educated on it. You clearly don’t seem educated on it.

You know what I’m just blocking you because you have no clue what adoption process is. I was happy to be adopted when I was seven.

I already know all about the Foster care system in the US I lived through it and many people in my family are foster parents

I think you’re confusing adoption with the foster system. The goal of fostering is parent reunification. The goal of adoption is to find a permanent home for the child.
