De l’adoption:
During my school year, I took part, for one and a half hour a week, in a charity program bringing a little school support and happiness to shelter children. They were orphans, or kids taken from their parents because they had been abused, not been sent to school, or not properly raised (for the cases I know). […]
Before I went through this, I was rather against adoption for gays (under the influence of an education based on family, dad, mom). This experience changed my point of view. Because, considering the kids’ situation, I thought you shouldn’t be thinking of “the best possible to offer them” but “the least bad to offer them”.
Those children are hurting for love. Really. They don’t need a “family, building block of society” frame. They already did the family thing, and it failed them. They need an affective frame. They need people who love them, who help them, 24/7, 365 days a year.
