Today, I'm in the process of adopting a child. When I called my mom to tell her the news, she just said, "Oh honey, don't adopt, it's the worst decision you'll ever make." I'm adopted. FML

Awww that sucks OP. Don't listen to her! I'm sure that you will be a great adoptive parent and good luck!

Who cares what she thinks. There's a child that needs love and you'll do a phenomenal job OP

I am sure she did not mean it like that. Good luck on the adoption!! Lots of kids out there need a home.

I think adoption is a wonderful thing, don't listen to her!

Don't listen to her. Adopting is a great thing (I plan to adopt) and I'm sure you'll find it rewarding. Just don't EVER tell your kid shit like that.

What a shitty thing to say to someone's child. The fact that you're adopted made the comment so much worse. My younger sister was adopted and while we love her dearly, with her adoption came a shit ton of insecurity and abandonment issues. If something like that was said to her, she'd be ****** up emotionally. Your mom is a despicable person for even joking like that.

Maybe she just meant there is a lot of paperwork or something? I hope so for your sake!!

That's called you're not loved. My parents say they love me when they try to really change me. But they would never say to not do something I want to do. FYL and, when you get a chance, think of some good comebacks for your mom
