As a society we have to do better about exploring that option and educating people on it. It doesn’t have to be “I can’t biologically have kids, so I guess I’ll adopt” but rather it should be “I am going to equally weigh adoption versus birthing as two equal ways to be a parent.” Most parents I talk to never even considered adoption at all, like never even entered their brain, and we have to do better than that. What do you think about modern views of adoption? Traditionally it was kind of seen as being some sort of saviour, helping out kids in need (who would automatically become your kids with no ties to their past). The narrative seems to have shifted a lot since then and encompasses far more complexity on what exactly one's role is as an adoptive parent.
