THIS OKAY

You want to get kids out of foster care and into good, loving homes? I’ve got a simple solution to your problem.

Did you know LGBT couples are more likely to adopt older, children of color and disable children than straight couples? LGBT couples tend to adopt ‘undesired’ children more (basically kids no one else wants.)

This is so important because I remember being in the system and being so scared that I would never be adopted or loved or whatever and seriously just fucking let them, take the fear out of finding a family

Exactly. I reblog this every time I see it. EVERY time.

Can we also normalize adoption more? I know not everyone can afford it/do it, but if you can, please don’t be afraid to make this your first option, not the “back-up“.

also adoption should NOT be expensive and should be an easy process for qualified prospective parents. find these kids fucking homes for fuck’s sake

Religious organizations shouldn’t be the primary agencies arranging adoptions and foster care. I found out years ago that states outsource the work to Catholic Charities and other Christian non-profits.

We had a royal commission into that. The results were not comforting.

Can we also talk about how horrible the foster system is? Kids are abused horribly in the system by people just looking to collect a check from the government.....let more people adopt not just straight couples....

BLESS

I’m gonna reblog this forever and ever and ever and ever
