  • What’s your view on people who don’t adopt, including yourself if you can justify it?

    My view is neutral to positive, because I would be a horrible parent who would be in misery if I were to raise a kid in the capacity of a parent.

    We’ve all met people of whom we have rightfully thought, “That person should never have been a parent.” I’m another one of the many. I can barely get myself to do my own chores as someone living alone; what makes you think I’d be competent at healthily raising an entire other human being?

    I’m surprised that this one person influenced you that much. It should be common sense that the only people who should be parents (by adoption or otherwise) are those with both a burning desire to be parents and a healthy understanding of autonomy.
