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.

Absolutely, but this is The Sims.

LITERALLY LOL. Might as well get mad about Pokemon glorifying cock fighting too. Or war games trivializing civilian death.

To be fair, both of those things do happen. I'd kind of love to see that silly adoptees group take up the Sims as an object of protest the way PETA went after Pokemon. It'll show the world how stupid they are.

Victims of the adoption system would have bigger fish to fry than the Sims though, unlike PETA.

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.

Like damn, we don't even have to bring abortion into this. Normalize people wanting kids and then realizing after the baby is born that they don't actually want this and that's okay. Fund services for potential adopters to help ensure they'll be good parents. Being against adoption is a weird way to solve the problem of bad parenting. Imagine an organization of people from shitty homes with their birth parents called Bio Kids Against Bio Families. I bet there could be a thousand times as many members for all the kids who grew up with bad parents. But there isn't one because that's plainly ridiculous. The problem isn't adoption or no adoption. Adoptees Against Adoption sounds like a very immature group.

DA

it seems like OP is a die hard proponent or supporter of this group. And don't seem to be taking anyone's view but there's as correct.

The 100-fold higher participation in Bio Kids Against Bio Families was more or less the take I walked away with from the one conversation I've had with an irl acquaintance who was fervently Adoptees Against Adoption. As someone raised by abusive bio parents, and not having much of an opinion on adoption at that point, I went into it extremely sympathetic... ...all of which was annihilated the further along this conversation went as I discovered that her "abusive" foster parents were slightly strict? At worst? Maybe showed some mild favouritism toward their one bio kid? But all the hallmarks of being physically abusive and neglectful were there for her bio parents, even though she tried to excuse them and paint the rosiest picture possible. It was just tragically, terribly naive: she had no idea what it was like to suffer through the childhood I had (like bitch you're mad about them telling you no to a hobby they don't like? have you ever had a rock thrown at your head and been locked in your room for 48 hours and pissed in a bottle? you don't think my parents didn't favour my brothers, egregiously?) she just thought being ~biological family~~~ would magically turn everything into unicorns and rainbows if only they ~~had more support~~. She genuinely didn't know that her bio parents could lie and make excuses for themselves after the fact, and took everything they said to her as the truth.

I walked out of that one 100% diehard proponent of adoption. Nobody is entitled to a child, not even if they gave birth to it: children are separate human beings with human rights entitled to safety, shelter, and affection. If you can't provide that, someone who will should raise them. Period.

a lot of adoptees blame their adoption for 100% of problems in their lives. people who are raised by their two biological parents and were wanted can have the same problems. but adoptees will blame the adoptive parents and act like if only their bios had kept them they'd have a 100% perfect life and the only thing that went wrong was the adoption. and that's just a silly way of looking at it tbh. like you said they literally think their live would be rainbows and unicorns if bio parents had kept them

[(Anonymous)]

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