adoption
I think your opinion about your bloodline is bizarre given your take on blood quantum. i just don’t see it mattering that much. I also think that the reasoning why I am intelligent has less to do with my nature and more to do with my nurture i was nurtured into a love of reading by my grandfather who read to me all the time before he died. my favorite books were Baby’s Big House and the Illustrated Children’s Bible. i know this because i know i loved my grandfather very, very much and the only memories i have of him are from being read to on his lap. my babysitters daughter loves (and always has loved) kids so much that she grew up to be a social worker, just finished her masters, and when i was little she wanted to be a teacher because we didn’t know about social workers then and she played school with me all the time. literrally. their was an assigned nap time every day and i didn’t nap because i’ve always hated naps so we just played school without fail and i was learning a fourth grade curriculum at like age 3. so i had this really intense love of school and learning. i also was cultured as an only child around adults during the gulf war. i used to debate it as a youngster. i don’t really remember, but i think i wanted bush to topple baghdad. so i think that i can make up the intelligence thing. I also think that one of the things i will pretty likely pass on to my children is my anxiety and manic depressive disorders. no fun. if i can save someone from that i will. also, i economy of adoption. the fact is that if i breed my own child it probably means i’m economically stable enough for one child or two. so that’s one or two children that is in an orphanage somewhere because no one will adopt them because someone believes their own genes are superior. and does a natural born child improve our relationship? does that mean that our unnatural children were just charities or something and not a child that we love so much and couldn’t see ourselves without. my parents said that they never believed it before they adopted even though others said it was true but that the second they held me and devon we were theirs and no one was going to take us from them.
