      Anyone, TERF or not, who uses the phrase "just adopt" does not know what they are talking about and should shut the fuck up "Just adopt" is a telltale phrase of someone who wants a dismissive gotcha argument and has NEVER actually researched adoptionhttps://twitter.com/Slatzism/status/1379119773758423043 …

      HOT TAKE ALERT: If you can't have kids (for whatever reason) and you choose to spend huge amounts of time and money on either treatments or renting a woman's womb rather than just adopting a child in need -- you are a narcissist.

      Adoption is *also* outsourcing the reproductive labour to someone else, it's just that society has classified that someone else as a "failed parent" so that makes it fine or something

      Children with absolutely no living family willing/able to take them would almost always fall under Arthur's caveats about foster care.

      Yes, the "movie orphan" scenario -- someone whose parents die as a baby and have no living kin or godparents to take them in -- may happen sometimes, but it's absurdly rare Any baby in this situation would move through the foster system almost instantly

      Replying to @arthur_affect @pinguinus and

      If you sign up to be a foster parent hoping for a situation like this to come up, you will be waiting... forever Even if this literally happened in your city immediately after you were approved, you'd be competing for that baby with a dozen other prospective parents

      Replying to @arthur_affect @pinguinus and

      (It isn't *impossible* to adopt babies through the foster system, but you'll be waiting a long time, and if you foster a baby as opposed to an older child the probability of parental reunification is really high -- you've got to *really* fuck up for them to take a baby away)

          (Termination of parental rights usually doesn't happen until the parent has accumulated a number of strikes against them, which means that babies up for adoption through the system are usually part of a sibling group, and that has its own issues)

          Honestly ... I agree with your general point about being not being so cavalier about “just adopt” BUT The wait is not as long, nor the process as complicated, as you say.

          Well, no, what I said was that people who think of foster-to-adopt as a "fertility to solution" need to have The Talk about how most of their assumptions about parenting are based on parenting babies and adopting older children is a whole different can of worms
