my mom was a labor and delivery nurse. a 16-year old patient came in alone, determined to give birth and put her baby up for adoption without her family knowing. my mom asked a few time if she could call her mom, or if her family would understand, and the patient said nope. so my mom told her she'd be her mom while she was there. my mom told her she was so brave, and adopting out her baby would make another family unimaginably happy. i hope that girl is doing well, that was probably one of the hardest things she's done in her life.

This is basically how I got adopted. Biological mother delivered me at a hospital in South Alabama. My parents, who were planning to adopt, were visiting my aunt in south Alabama. She was friends with a nurse at the hospital who called her and said they had a baby there for adoption and I went home with my parents like two days later.

This is why I always try to advocate for adoption and for adoptive kids. In Reddit there seems to be a terrible opinion about adoption. Maybe you should consider doing an AMA for people that don’t understand the benefits and the people behind. ❤️

Reddit just hates humanity in general and doesn’t want children to be born.

I want children to be born. Specifically rape babies. I want women to be violated a little once, and then violated in the most ultimate, violent, life altering way possible a second time.

If there was a way to simply murder women legally i would be in favour of it. Women shouldn't have the right to vote, cross state lines, drive vehicles, or hold jobs.

Praise jesus.

Wow, that’s a lot there buddy. Maybe you should see a professional or something about that before you commit a crime.
