Adoption is a beautiful thing.

Gift or curse is still whining about adoption & demanding evidence that adoptive parents aren't evil. While this thread seems to be degenerating increasingly into a tantrum - I'd like to say that evidence that adoptive parents made good parents was provided quite a while ago.

I probably should stop feeding the troll, though.

Actual evidence as opposed to raw "biologicist" prejudice, perhaps?

How about this, adoptive parents are just that, parents, weather they are good or not depends on the individual, same as with biological parents.

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they're not scum, just f*****g p*****s who can't get their kids to realize that this planet is going to Hell in a handbasket.
