That said, I personally am not opposed to adoption of children of different skin colors, ethnicities, etc. At the same time, adoptive parents aren't always the admirable parents that some people make them out to be.

Yeah, parents are fallible no matter how they got to be that way.

I just never have. I don’t like the idea of being pregnant. I don’t have an emotional attachment to my genetics being passed down. I raised my stepson for nearly a decade, and that cemented in me the idea that carrying a kid has nothing to do with anything.
