Am I the only person on earth that is disturbed by the fact that the word adoption is used synonymously as a word for taking in a child or a PET?
When looking for information on-line about adoption one is bombarded with information about taking ownership of an animal. This is so frustrating, because in my eyes it is NOT the same at all. If children and pets were equal you could sell both of them on craigslist. I'm not saying we should be allowed to sell kids on-line - I'm very very anti this, I am just saying that animals and children are very different and should be treated as such. This article http://investigations.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/09/09/20389259-inside-americas-underground-network-for-adopted-children made me ANGRY. If an adoptive family is having issues they should seek support. If support is hard to come by the should search for it, fight for it, or help it to be created.
Rant over.
