Adoption is awesome, the foster care system isn't though.
I was a nurse for 25 years. I am also a Christian and pro-life. I know that the instances where where a pregnant woman's life is endangered by the child are rare in the extreme. If the mother dies before the child is viable, both die. Therefore if the child can not be saved at all, but the mom can, abortion would be appropriate. But this is an extremely rare situation. Every effort must be made, first, to avoid this before abortion can be considered.
Oh ya I own a 40 acre ranch and 4 kids ππΊπΈ
better than being dead
Yeah, I think he is very lucky to get a great family and whatnot, but the foster care system is awful from what I have heard
i have a more pessimistic view on the topic, Alin.
ohyeah, foster parents. i heard some horror stories about foster parents. people that just take in kids for the extra cash and then treat the kids like absolute garbage
I had a friend in the foster system
sometimes i feel like they would be better off not getting a chance, rather than the only thing they know being actual hell.
call me fucked up, but idk man.
Adoption is so much better than foster, because with adoption the parents are dead set on having this kid as their own, but foster they treat the kids like shit and only do it for money
that's why screening is so important. government seems to lack the ability to do things correctly
its fucking sad.
The foster care system is inherently flawed
Foster is for money and sometimes the kids that live there can be a bad influence or a problem
These people don't care about the kids, its only for money
There are definitely some good foster parents, but they aren't the majority
But there absolutely are some great foster parents out there, you just don't really hear about them
yeah there are also some of the trouble makers, kids who have grown in horrible situations and are violent or cause just major issues
therapy should be a requirement, idk if it is or not
^
they pay for schooling and all that
You learn a lot of skills too. I mean if nothing else, it's there as a last resort
man... on a slightly different topic, people always talk about "therapy this, therapy that" but holy fucking shit. some of you do, but does everyone know how much therapy costs???
i think therapy should be a universally accessible thing
Depends on your insurance and the therapist, but yes.
but holy fucking shit. $110 a session.
a 1 hour session
$110
I've seen $180 for a half hour.
yeah it's expensive
what the fuck.
It's because insurance pays for most of it
^
So they can charge insane fees because the insurance companies pay it, and they make a ton of money
we have all these problems that therapy could help a lot, but it wont help if it bankrupts you, and people like me dont have insurance.
i had a therapist during a dark point in my life, it was about 50-75 an hour
i cant afford insurance.
not all insurance covers that anyway, right?
there are places out there than can help
