Okay, fine, maybe I’m exaggerating—let's say Alan Ford instead.
They were working and crying, and then spending hours just hand-writing names over and over again. The local school doesn't even have computers
Honestly, it's just ridiculous... because of those "stay at home" orders, I ended up with six of them sitting around my house! Usually, we only ever need four. 🙄
Should I donate one of my computers to the school? 😁
This whole situation is a total disaster.🙂
I don't have any direct experience myself, but I’ve watched two close friends go through the whole adoption process firsthand.
Once they finished all the assessments, they adopted their kids almost immediately.
It wasn't because they were picking and choosing, though.
The kids were over 8 years old.
They had behavioral issues.
On top of that, they were pretty far behind academically.
According to the social worker, these were the kind of kids that hardly anyone wanted to take in.
My friends worked their tails off until they finally saw real progress in how the kids behaved and learned.
It was an exhausting, years-long journey to get things back on track, even though the kids—by their own choice—started calling them Mom and Dad right from the start.
They were just deeply unhappy kids who desperately needed to belong somewhere.
One of my friends adopted a boy who still has a younger brother and an older sister.
After two failed attempts where people tried to adopt all three siblings at once (which was the condition), families actually ended up returning them to the foster care system because the kids fought so hard for affection that it became overwhelming.
Eventually, the agency decided it was best to split them up.
They were adopted into three different families, and even though those families aren't related, they all hang out now just to support the kids. Today, the siblings act like brothers, even if they live in different homes.
You really need an incredible amount of love, grit, and pure dedication to help a child heal from so much trauma and find happiness.

As for gay couples having kids—it's not like they have access to children when the adoption process here in the States is such a bureaucratic nightmare. There are plenty of straight couples who would jump at the chance to adopt, but honestly, the red tape alone is enough to kill the desire.
We're talking about foster care here.
And apparently, per their rules, the age, health, or ethnicity of the child doesn't even matter.
Meanwhile, a massive line of traditional American Catholic couples is just waiting around to foster older kids or children with special needs from the Romani community. 🤣
Even actual Americans 🤣
are being pushed aside.

Then, all of a sudden, the performance just vanishes from the conversation...
Sorry, I'm not sure which one of Frljić's pieces you mean that could even be compared to burning gay money with a kid present?
I'm dropping this here too because people just need to see this.
The sinčić guy was on Open TV earlier showing off Jelenić-esque asset disclosures, claiming he owns over 6% of Berkshire Hathaway.
Back when Živi Zid filed their lawsuit against the Borg group, they went after Berkshire Hathaway, but the court tossed it out.
Now, they've found out that they actually filed a lawsuit against Jelenić himself!
The Department of Justice is pushing to strip Kuščević of his immunity.
His wife is also sitting pretty with a nice little job there, probably ever since he hired her 🤣
