rosefox brought to my attention that I haven't really thought out my reasoning for or against adoption. All of my thoughts/feelings on adoption are: "It's expensive and complex and jumbled, and feels like walking into somebody else's black-boxian project." Unfair, since I haven't even looked into it. Like seriously, the extent of my knowledge on this comes from snippets from various types of media, and a bit from a
recent post at Shakesville.
I am going to go read through that post at Shakesville, and see if folk have recommended books or links on adoption. Also I will see if I can find... accounts of folk who have pursued adoption, particularly in Oregon (being as how that's where I live). Yay the law, &c.
