i’m losing my mind over the original sketch for this

the real star of this piece 

I now pronounce you man and wolfman

It’s finally canon, guys

hmmm

Me: I don’t know if I ever want to be pregnant, I’d rather adopt a kid or two that are a bit older

Someone: Are you SURE? Older adoptees present UNIQUE CHALLENGES

Me: We are discussing human beings not digital pets

Literally every child every born and/or parented presents unique challenges. It’s like people are unique individuals…..or something………….

An amazing and revolutionary concept

When people ask me, “Why do you want to adopt teenagers?” I always answer, “Because you asked like that.”

I’m real over it. If I become a foster mom to a 17 year old kid and I get the privilege of the option to adopt them? You better believe I am legally making that kid mine.

“They’ll be a legal adult in no time, why spend the money to adopt? They’ll be aged out of the system.”

There’s no aging out of family, Marvin.

“They might be rebellious or smoke or do drugs or steal things! What if they won’t listen to you?”

Then I guess I’ll have to step up and do some fruxking parenting, Stanley.

“You want to adopt problem children then?”

All. Children. Are. Problem. Children. If you’re not prepared to deal with the fact that at some point, any child ever, whether you birthed them yourself or adopted them at any age, could become a problem? Then you are NOT ready to have children, and should really just step off and let the people who actually want to be parents live in peace with their kids.

Oh my god this! I really really want to adopt one day when I can and I only plan on adopting older children, and not that I don’t think babies need love but I think that children that feel abandoned by society and alone without a family need it more

I’m glad that people want to help others, that’s a good thing. But when people think that orphaned kids need to be saved, or argue that “all children are problem children,” it erases the hardships that those people face. If you want to become a foster/adoptive parent, do your research, help yourself so you can actually help someone else. Most orphaned kids have experienced real, traumatic loss, often at a young age, that impact every aspect of their life for the rest of their life. It’s different than having a “rebellious phase,” it isn’t something that they “just get over.” People who are wary of older adoptees might come off like asshats, but the idea that they are “problem children” is because… well, they’re children who have had psychological trauma that is often unresolved, and manifests itself as “problems.” I’m not saying wanting to adopt is a bad thing, I’m saying that people who adopt, especially older adoptees, should be extra ready to support their kids emotionally, and not expect those kids to be immediately grateful, or to love them unconditionally, or to even treat you like “family.”

As an adopted child of a baby boomer, whose life experience has been “you should be grateful, you should love unconditionally, you were saved from an awful life,” I can’t wait to see a new generation of adoptive parents who care about their kid’s psychological well-being, who truly want the best for their kids, and who educate themselves about good parenting, especially for kids who’ve experienced life without good/any parents.

Yeah this thread is good-intentioned, but older foster children are more likely to have faced years of hardship, even if all children of all backgrounds have the potential to develop issues. It's great that people are willing to adopt older children, as they are often ignored and need the most support, but the parents have to be mentally prepared for the increased likelihood of certain issues or they will be overwhelmed.

Plus, for children of any age with severe behavioural issues, it's not the parents' fault if they can't handle all of the child's needs and hace to arrange alternate living arrangements. This is also the case for adopted children with severe issues. Not everyone has the time and energy and sheer willpower to deal with the most severe cases, so the parents shouldnt be demonised.

when I was 14 I worked in a grocery store and one day I got to bag Stephen King’s groceries and of course, being the little horror fiction nerd I am I was completely starstruck

I think he thought I was gonna ask for an autograph because I was not even lowkey staring I was full on moon-faced and bouncing and he kept looking over at me hesitantly like aw jeez kid fuck off

anyways I finally managed to squeak out that I was a huge fan and asked for advice on writing, “how do I write as well as you do?” in my horrible thick German accent and broken ass English and he gave me the best writing advice I have ever received

“shit kid, stop worrying about how other people do it and just write your story”

14 years later my wife and I nearly hit him with our car because he was jaywalking

war boys be like ‘oh shit who brought fucking death death’
