@semiprecious If it helps... (it probably won’t, so I say
if it helps)... I know a same-gender couple who have seven adopted kids and they get lots of shit for it too. You’d think that in my liberal little corner of the world, they’d be revered as the Gods of Acceptance and Love, right?
But for the most part, when their Ford Transit pulls up to Multi-Cultural Dessert Night at the elementary school, everyone’s just like “ho boy, here we go, what are they thinking adopting Devonte’s new baby sister when Shyla is only 20 months old and they just adopted her six moths ago and did you hear about BLAH BLAH BLAH.”
Chill, people. It’s not your circus! And you know what, I
like the circus, so fuck that expression anyway! Good for you and good for my crazy friends who have 6.5 better-behaved children than I fucking do.
Amen. Goodnight.
