I think what bothers me the most about that comment is that people think since they feel a certain way it must be the absolute and she must broadcast her opinion a very disrespectful way. People can be so self-righteous.
After I had my first son I wanted to adopt a second. I always wanted two or three boys. I knew for me personally that I didn’t have to give birth to my own to love him like my own, and I knew there were children that needed good homes. It was just something pulling on my heart at the time. When I told some close friends and my boss that they all thought I was weird. Didn’t matter anyway, while on birth control I got pregnant with my second son. I still think about fostering someday…
“Work is crazy….” I hear ya! … that is all I can say at the moment, no words for you. I guess it is just the nature of the beast of being a teacher huh.
