        Did a bit of digging and as far as I can tell, there were 107 children adopted in Denmark, not including adoption within family, like adoption of a dead siblings children, etc. Of those 107, 98 were children adopted from outside Denmark.

        That seems...staggeringly low?

        I was actually rather surprised myself, but the numbers are from Statistics Denmark, the central authority on Danish statistics, which is a very reliable source. I guess that because we have such easy access to IVF, adoptions have naturally declined.

        Please consider: don’t privilege biology; it is the heart that makes us fathers and mothers. We needn’t sacrifice everything to find the miracle of life and the joy of parenthood #adoption

        This does NOT build a healthy society. It builds a broken one

        I think most Danes would say their society is pretty good compared to others.

        this has only been happening for a couple of decades. wait a hundred years and you will find a society that cannot function. The traditional family unit means more to society than the modern world understands. I'm sure you will thinks that's some form of bigotry, but its not.

        I wouldn't regard it as bigotry but more of a very big assumption. Society has always changed and evolved, and many adapt.

        Centuries of civilization say Im right on this one. You aren't even old enough to have read enough to know one way or the other.

        Oh but I have and the biggest fall of societies is the sense of community being forgotten those who ostracised people who don’t fit their narrative duly end up forgotten in the pages of history

        Because Denmark is a feminist country, by the time they decide kids are important after all, their ovaries have dried up
