....you are aware in the Sims that when you die you just turn into a headstone? It trivializes everything because it isn't real life.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh go fuck yourself.

Singed,
Grateful to be placed for adoption

[(Anonymous)]

Which is good but adoption should be the last option after seeing if other solutions will help.

[(Anonymous)]

do you also think you should be getting a promotion every week just for showing up to your paper route?

[(Anonymous)]

Ma'am, this is a Wendy's.

Hard disagree. You sound like you had an easy home life.

[hey_hey_hey]

It's just The Sims, bro.

[(Anonymous)]

What the actual fuck.

This secret reads like a steady downward spiral of crazy. Or immature. OP, are you 14?

[(Anonymous)]

Has no one here read about or listened to the movement of adoptees against adoption? They have very clear reasons why adoption should be a last resort and that social services to help families should be better funded. The number one reason for kids entering the system is neglect, not abuse. One of the biggest reasons babies are surrendered is a lack of financial support. Not to mention the for profit adoption industry.

[(Anonymous)]

Absolutely, but this is The Sims.

[(Anonymous)]

Setting aside the fandom part, what about the people who become parents because they never wanted kids at all but abortion is illegal where they live? No amount of funding and the best social services in the world is going to make them happier to be parents. Some people just don't want kids because they don't want them and are forced to have them anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

And just fuck all those adoptees who want nothing to do with their shitty bio families?

[(Anonymous)]

Good start, but you should've gone all out and put in something about single parents needing to find a partner immediately because kids need two parents, preferably one of the opposite sex because studies show that kids do better when they have a mom and a dad.

A few months ago, my birth mother screamed in my face and told me that she hopes the government kills me because I'm disabled and that disabled people are destroying this country because we are expensive.

I have often wished that I was adopted to a different family because then I would have a mother that wanted me and didn't hate me for my disability.

Adoption is rife with problems but I know what my birth family is like and I have gone no contact for a reason.

*Popcorn*

[(Anonymous)]

This thread is amazing.

[(Anonymous)]

Good as any to to be
1. stupid af about sims

Yet again, placing IRL issues that overall are complicated onto a thing of fiction in where the consequences of actions are not real and do not reflect IRL.

I know adoption is a complicated issue. It seemed like an easy solution to a complex problem, but as most things in the real world, it's a solution in which new issues arise so we can't really say it "solves" an issue. But to swing completely the other way and say it's completely terrible is also dangerous and not quite true to what happens IRL.
And it's....a choice to bring this topic up with The Sims and project whatever feelings you have onto the game.

[(Anonymous)]

I think I'm gonna re-install The Sims and adopt a few children now. Just for you.

[(Anonymous)]

Wow. I think you're overthinking this for sure. I mean, I understand that there are problems with adoption, and that it's common for people to kind of downplay those problems/that a lot of people don't have any awareness whatsoever of them. The general view of adoption in western society seems to be that it's a great thing and that it's a happily-ever-after situation, and I know that isn't always the case. But, like, this seems like a bit of an overreaction. How do you think the game should handle it instead? I just think you're asking too much of a lighthearted video game. Do you think Sims who are adopted should grow up to have negative moodlets about missing their biological family? Should they have a special interaction to yell at their parents that they're not their real mom?? I do think we should listen to adoptees who are unhappy with what happened to them, but vilifying adoption also doesn't seem like the answer. In a perfect world we could make every birth parent capable and willing to be a parent, but we don't live in that perfect world. In my career I've seen so many kids whose bio parents get to abuse and neglect them for the first few years of their lives, and then by the time they're taken away, they're frankly damaged, and some of them NEVER end up being normal. Sometimes these children are fucked up for life because bio mom and bio dad simply didn't give a fuck about them. Making sure kids are with their bio parents NO MATTER WHAT is simply not the answer.
