And I don't mean things you previously had no strong opinion about.

What is a belief you used to hold that you no longer do, and what/who made you change your mind about it?

I consider people who adopt to be basically heros. I can hardly think of a more selfless act than to give home to a child without one. That is an absolutely glorious thing for someone to do.

    Unless they're a family vlogger. Screw those people.

    Ultimately, the adoptee might still be in a "better position" in terms of food and shelter, but they lose privacy and anonymity, and are often treated like shit off camera (sometimes on)

    I have heard of families who adopt to get government assistance checks, and the kids are mostly just ignored/the adopters do the bare minimum. I hope that's not that usual.
