adoption

adoption is the practice of one family raising a child born to another family. All parties in the "adoption triad" -- the three groups consisting of the birth parent(s), adoptive parent(s) and adoptee -- are grieving in some way. The baby or young child who is adopted grieves for the loss of their biologic family, and this feeling of isolation and loss can be life-lone, no matter how loving the adoptive family is. The birth parents grieve for the child they gave up (willingly or unwillingly). And the adoptive parents grieve (often for years) over being unable to have children "of their own" before they adopt -- or they think they are "saving" a child from an awful life, and can be quite disappointed if the adopted child is not perfect. visit www.bastardnation.com for more on all sides of the adoption question.

Adoption builds families while at the same time destroying them.

Adoptive sympathy

1. When a child is adopted, EVERYONE has problems. The adoptee, the birthfamily, and...believe it or not, the adoptive family. The adoptive family is happy about adopting, don't get me wrong. But when you have "BABY STEALER!" and "YOUR NOT MY REAL PARENTS!" thrown in your face all day, you wonder why you didn't just try for a biological offspring.

2. Developing pregnancy symptoms when you are waiting for your adoptive child to come to your house. This is actually quite rare, and is not directly caused by adopting. If your desicsion to adopt is supported by friends and relitaves of the baby, you will probably not get it. This is actually caused by the stress of dealing with anti-adoption freaks and feeling like you arent a worthy parent because you didn't give birth to the child you are going to raise.

1.
Sally: Everyone suffers from adoption exept the adoptive family, because they have NO PROBLEMS while the other two triads are suffering.
Sue: Shut up. You don't know how it feels to get called a baby stealer and a fake mom all day.
Sally: So you deserve to feal bad, baby stealer.

2. Adoptive sympathy is no pleasent experience. But its worth adopting a child.

3. Adoptive parents need to say bye to their reputation and say hello to "fake" parenting.

Late Adopter

Someone scared to adopt new trends. They usually end up getting into them three months before they end. The term is mainly used in the realm of technology, but can also be used in relation to fashion, music, or anything else that trends.

Average Joe: You know Lucy? She finally bought a pair of distressed jeans.
Fashionista: OMG! Is she serious? They are totally on the way out now!
Average Joe: Yeah. She's a pretty late adopter.

Adopt and Raise

A ROBLOX game filled with a bunch of kids who think these miniature looking pod babies are cute.

I swear to god, any time you join an Adopt and Raise game, you are bound to see about 2 families roleplaying in the chat. It gets so fucking annoying.

Some 9 year old: "I want to play Adopt and Raise!"
The same 9 year old: "Oh, look how cute that baby looks!"
Me: "Are you on drugs?"
