I know, that drives me crazy.

Good on you, comrade. Providing a safe and loving house to an adopted child that needs a family is something I deeply respect.
Being a dad has been the most fulfilling aspect of my life for a long time. I wish you the best of luck and nothing but joy.
Click, Clack, Moo is one I've always enjoyed. One star review:
I was quite disturbed, because I believe that children who cannot even read yet, are way to young to be exposed to the concepts of strikes and worker's compensation
Dude, this is a really strange thought process, and I think you might want to interrogate it a little more.
I'm also a thirty something father of multiple children, and sure it's a big responsibility. I also understand your points about risk mitigation. I often joke myself that I used to be a communist but since having kids I'm a liberal, because I find I have far less time for meaningful praxis, and I keep my head lower.
However, it comes off like you're presenting yourself with some binary of I must choose to tacitly support a genocide against brown people because I have kids and gay friends.
That's such a strange calculus. You're imaging a scenario where your life here in the empire are as bad as the life we're imposing on the third world, and you're justifying that world order through this imagined scenario.
Note that I don't care who you or anyone else votes for. I'm only speaking about this rationale.
If you're not doing this, and just looking for more meaningful actions to take, I apologize, and there are hopefully resources people here could point you to.
