Unfortunately, the adoption system itself is corrupt, wrought with red tape foolishness and prohibits adoption to parents who are gay, in a lower income bracket, and who have a whole host of other "deficiencies" based on mainstream world standards. It's sad that even something designed to help these children can turn into another way to exploit, judge and waste resources.

@jmsneptuneonfire : yes, the fucked upness of our system.

[Casshern1100]

I agree 100%.I hear ALL of these excuses all of the time and then some.It's so sad to hear people wanting kids for these fucked up "reasons",if you can even call them that.Unfortunately the adoption system is just as fucked up.They are unnecessairly strict.I have a friend wanting to adopt,but it's hard because it is crazy expensive and the rules and regulations make it extremely hard to adopt,even if you are clearly a loving and responsible adult.It's not fair to either child nor wanna be parent

Really good video. You made a few typos though, I'd suggest getting those fixed so when people try to argue the facts they don't bring up that you spelled things wrong.

I really like the first two answers to the question why do you have children, the thing is I see it all the time in young women, those first two answers are most common although usually worded differently to make them sound innocent. Another reason that was common was "so I can keep my man" ... which to me was very confusing.

GREAT VIDEO THANKS!

[alirussell111]

great video, you are so right! ive always thought this. its sad that people do not alow themselfs to see the bigger picture. i cant wait till us humans collectively wake up!

@bryphi77 First you state "I am all for equality" and a few comments later you want to kill people that want to establish equality. Thanks for exposing yourself.

[bryphi77]

@klevo Thats great, but the day you try and push your "real goals" on my "real life" will be the day you die... GET IT? You want a slave nanny state... I want freedom...

[klevo]

@bryphi77 The point is we're not working with "good intentions". We have real goals and working on the thing each day breath by breath.

[SpamAnn]

@bryphi77 : not just me, much more people as well. And it will take time. The system is also set to make you believe you cant change a thing. Dont let that stop you from trying your best, even if you die and its still there. We can still try our very best and stand together in this. Because I cant just sit back and let an abusive system do its role while I participate in it.
