[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in the system and let me tell you, I'd have loved to have been adopted by anyone at any age just to get out! I was in the system when the only way a single woman (I never knew of any single men adopting) could adopt alone was if she was rich. And then the rich women (and couples) adopting always went for the babies or those under 2 or 3. There's no feeling quite like the one when you're 17.5, nearing aging out, and realizing you have no one. You have nothing. Totally alone and about to be abandoned again, but this time by the system that "took care of you." I know so many gay & lesbian couples in their 70s and older now who would have loved to have adopted kids years ago but weren't allowed. It's disgusting that people with love to give weren't allowed in favor of "nuclear traditional families." [/quote] Such a lovely and true post. OP, maybe try to live your own life and MYOB about others.[/quote]
