I kind of don’t care if people say if having a baby is selfish.. I would love to have a baby and to adopt a baby 💖 I have so much love to go around, I would even love to be a foster parent.. I just love the idea of having a family ❤️❤️

Nobody has ever said it was selfish- it’s only selfish when u cannot financially or emotionally provide for a child & still have them

honestly wanting a baby is only selfish if you can’t actually care for it and/or still have them knowing your finances and living situation is not suitable for a child

Regarding adoption, you should look into maternal separation trauma and hear from adoptees about their trauma and non-adoptee centered adoption

I promise you I’ve been called selfish for wanting a child. Reasoning: overpopulation, I can always adopt instead of have a child Things around that nature ^^^

I can answer any questions you have but adoption should be adoptee centered and not adoptive parent centered is all I mean. Infant adoption is trauma and should be an absolute last resort and not something one seeks out

I’m sorry i don’t get what you’re saying. Infant adoption is a last resort??? Adoption is amazing and literally saves lives. I’m confused
