Really love this article because I don’t think I want to get pregnant, but I know I want to have kids , so I’ve really been thinking about adoption. A child is your child because you love them, feed them, clothe them, care for them, all the works. I started with love because that’s all there should be to it really. A person’s love for their child should be all encompassing and unconditional, adopted or not . I don’t even think people should be able to tell that a child is adopted .

Thank you for this. I wrote about the flip side of this, being a child unwanted yet raised by biological parents…DNA is meaningless. All that matters to children is safety, love and acceptance. And I fully believe adoptees only seek biological parents because of what you described.
