So, for the folks who don't know me, I adopted a child (not through the foster system) 3+ years ago. TBH, most days it's totally normal. And then some days I think about how fucking wild it is that a stranger decided to hand me her child, forever. Anyway. I found this article interesting. I don't quite know what to make of it but it's worth the read.
