[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I adopted my 3 kids.  I adopted all my pets. There are mine, forever.

We SPONSOR a family through our church at holidays. [/quote]

There are so many actual things to worry and focus on in this world. If anyone wants to show love and kindness and support by buying items or food or gift cards for people who need them, they can call that process what they like. Let's get it done. Let's use our resources and wealth and time and compassion and let's get it done.[/quote]

You are completely missing the point.  Handing over money or stuff at the holidays isn't as helpful as you think.  People need stuff all year round but they also need so much more, quality child care, educations, etc.

If you really want to help, adopt a child who no one else wants to adopt.  But, of course that would be a lot of effort, money and time and you are not actually willing to do something more than that takes a few hours to pat yourself on the back and move on.

Adoption is true love.[/quote]

NP.  I think it is you who is missing the point. Of course these families need more, but a coat, a few toys and some jeans is a start.  Why dismiss that?  To react this way over the use of the word adoption is just crazy.  No one is questioning the love shown by adopting a child.  For the holiday season, people are talking about adopting a family for a day, just so they know others care and to help how they can. I get you think that isn't enough.  I chose to see it as a start.  [/quote]

+1! Well put. [/quote]
