  • And depending on where you are the biological parents may be able to reclaim them at some point. My sister looked into it in my country and determined that they never really became your children, you were just taking care of them until they either grew up or their parents came back for them. I can’t imagine taking care of a child for years, treating it like your own, and then a stranger just coming and taking it back (and possibly taking it into a terrible environment).

    All the adopted kids I grew up with were adopted from overseas and now I understand why.




  • My phone has been on DnD for over a year now. I have a (cheap) smart watch which vibrates on certain alerts like message, calendar, and phone and I can quickly glance and see that it’s something I don’t care about. I also ignore the calls from numbers not in my contacts if I notice them. In the time I’ve been doing this I don’t think a single person has left a message on my voicemail - validating my actions.
