@Paul M I agree. Polite and thoughtful feedback is one thing but some of the comments seem to go way beyond that. My late mother in law came from China in 1929 at age 9 with her mother and $10. She sent four children to college and three to grad school. And she made a mean congee.
As an adoptive parent of two beautiful daughters we celebrate gotcha day. We also have a dog, and while we love our dog very much it is not the same as adopting a daughter. I (and many others in the adoption community) find this to be a false equivalency. Could I suggest rescued for pets? <a href="https://adoption.com/why-you-should-say-rescued-instead-of-adopted-when-talking-about-your-pets" target="_blank">https://adoption.com/why-you-should-say-rescued-instead-of-adopted-when-talking-about-your-pets</a>/
As a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer (Cameroon) loved 11D. And for those of you wondering, yes it’s still around. And for those of you saying “I always wanted to do that,” it’s never too late. President Carter’s mother served in India at 68 and the oldest volunteer on record was 88.
