Heartwarming Pics Of Children Who Were Just Adopted

I love adoption stories. My mom adopted 3 kids and she never let us or anybody else make a difference out of the 6 of us. My biological brother had the same name as my adopted brother and people could not understand why my mom would name 2 sons in succession, Johnny. But we wouldn’t explain it. Adopt kids. Make it normal. Not the the thing u do simply when u cant.

This will melt a heart of stone.

^^^^ THAT PERSON UP THERE

please normalize the fuck out of adoption, i’ve given speeches and lectures and written papers about all the misconceptions and fears and rumors that plague the issues of adoption and make this perfectly normal, healthy, happy thing a rare occurrence in our society and that is sad and wrong

adoption is not “giving up” on a child, adoption is not a last resort, adoption is not just for certain types of families

please normalize adoption

Also please normalize adopting teenagers. I’m not saying you shouldn’t adopt young children and babies, but there are so many teens out there that just don’t get adopted because of their age. So please normalize adopting teens! 

this is so important.

I cannot wait to adopt…

Omg omg omg this makes me so happy. Also, thank you to the person who mentioned adopting teenagers. I was 14 and I know some people want a brand new baby but older foster kids need a home too.

One of the things I said to my daughter when we were talking about family options – we have fertility issues in our family and her case is even the more so – was ‘honey, adoption is not a consolation prize.’

Believe it.

Adoption has and always will be my first choice. (like any of the some 6000 of you calling me mom, are surprised)
