Please consider kids in foster care before adopting. Adoption is a huge problem in the USA and doesn't always consider the child's needs over the potential buyers. ); <3

I'm not sure where in my comment I said "but not kids in the foster system, screw them". I imagine theres probably some hyper-literal reading of the word "adopt" that somehow excludes foster kids, but was it really necessary to read my comment that way? Is this a legitimate misunderstanding, or are you just really eager to have something to be mad at?

Figured by the use of a heart and kind language it wouldn't feel like an attack, but I suppose this is still text and some folks are more sensitive to things. My attempt was to add and not to take away from your post. I'm sorry it felt any other way.
