Because foster kids, more often than not, go back to their birth families. That’s the best case goal of the family court system.

As an adoptee, I will once again point out that adoption is not some fairy dust, unicorns and rainbows way to make a family. It can be problematic for all the parties involved.

There are far more couples waiting to adopt than there are infants available:

Bolivian woman learns one weird trick to getting pregnant! Reproductive endocrinologists hate her!

We would have also accepted “Catholicism.”

“The connection between this roundworm and increased fertility is, of course, far too tenuous for anyone to reasonably go worm hunting a la Maria Callas.”

There’s a Parasitic Worm in Bolivia That’s Making Women Have More Children

It’s the vacant eyes and smiling face of submission.

It’s really distressing me how much she looks like she could be a Duggar sister herself.

Oooh, the famous “what happened” instead of “what my husband did.” The passive voice is a staple of this genre.

A fun game might be to get a bunch of people together to see what companies are advertising during this show, and get everyone to write letters telling them they’re boycotting their products until they knock it off.

Fuck TLC, I hope that no one watches this show, or that advertisers refuse to pay for ads for it, but most of all I hope that some corporate fuck pulls their head out of their ass long enough to realize they could generate some good PR by providing the victims with enough money to cover the therapy they deserve.

Also similiar to the people who bitch about regulation....you do realize that a majority of those regulations were enacted to fight serious problems, right? THEY WERE STARTED FOR GOOD REASONS...dismantle at your own peril.

When do the barricades go up? I want me some fancy cosplay and flagwaving.

“If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.”

Yeah, but when you do it in the way she did it, (ie 5 paragraphs dismissing everything he’s saying as some kind of stan thing for FDR, and 1 sentence that basically amounts to a “jk”), the overall tone of the piece is dismissive of Bernie Sanders.

As the Republican party drifts into fascist economic royalism (thanks FDR, that’s a very accurate term) I truly hope the Democratic party looks at Bernie Sander’s success and realizes that they can stop being afraid of progressive labels. I also hope more Americans will listen to the radical right rhetoric and be…

Not understanding what FDR or democratic socialism did for our lives is like forgetting that women were originally not allowed to vote and were considered property of their husbands and then considering yourself “not a feminist” while voting and divorcing your hubs at will. Belittling Bernie is like laughing at those…

And you know this because Bernie confides in you?

Competing theory: Bernie’s just campaigning to get his name out there so that when Trump is elected and the country collapses into depression and anarchy, Bernie can launch the Fifth International.
