As threatening as this is, I'm almost uncomfortable by how unable I am to give this my attention. Like god it's such an ugly precedent but also the entire adoption industry is a classist white supremacist meat market and like of course I don't have enough time or energy to focus https://twitter.com/AidanCTweets/status/1268810216348495872 …

most queer people can only foster, not adopt, because queer people are generally poor as fuck I mean who, burning in the flames of this dying empire, has the time to just go outside toss a pigskin at some random little kid I'm so fucking bored with these mayonnaise TERFs

This isn't completely true, if you adopt through foster care you continue to get adoption support payments from the state, so whether to foster or adopt usually isn't a financial decision

It is true that adoption through foster care has a lot more variables than private adoption and it's much more common for the process to get interrupted because the bio parents come back into the picture etc

But "you can only foster, not adopt" is the wrong framing Many foster parents do adopt, and in fact if the foster kid's parents do get their rights terminated it's considered optimal to adopt them

It's just that people whose primary initial goal is to adopt find fostering problematic for many reasons And on the flip side if you're committed to *only* wanting to foster short-term that also raises issues (that's how you get older kids who age out of the system)

So fostering is for many reasons extremely fraught and therefore justifiably left out of the general conversation about "adoption"
