There are some things you shouldn't talk about...

...with family or even friends sometimes.

This is just a list of random musings that I have had since my last post, which I know was a long time ago.

A friend of mine has a friend who is trying to adopt. The thing is, this woman and her husband do not have enough money to finance the adoption themselves, so they are doing fundraisers and stuff at their base as well as trying to get others to host things for them. Call me crazy, but I think that is tacky. If you can't afford to adopt a kid then to me, you just aren't going to get one. What are you going to do if you can't afford diapers one day? Put out a change cup on your desk at work? Start some sort of charity?

Also....if you are going to be asking me for money so you can adopt, you damn sure have no business going on like three trips since you started asking people. If you are so desperate to adopt then you would do anything and everything to save up money. You wouldn't go out to eat on a regular basis, you would only buy things you needed, not just wanted. You would be showing people that you were doing your best to save money. I would be pissed if I hosted a bake sale or some shit and then the next week, this bitch is flying to NYC or something.

Then, my friend wrote a blog about this and one of her friends commented that we shouldn't be so judgmental because it is hard to want to be a mother and not have the money. She is on her 4th time of IVF. She was saying that many women want to be moms and don't have the extra $80,000 to throw around. That made me want to rip my hair out. First of all, she could have adopted like five kids with that money. That actually starts a whole different rant for me, but in order to finish this one I have to say that your need to either procreate or become a mother is not really my problem. And I do know that sounds bitchy but you haven't even heard what comes next.

I don't really understand the primal need to breed. I really do not have a strong feeling to have my genes carried on. If I ever find out that I cannot have a child naturally you are on crack if you think that I will spend $80,000 on something that puts my body through so much and is not even a sure thing. I would rather adopt. That is just me. I do want to say that I don't judge people for trying to have kids "naturally" (although it isn't natural to implant your children), but I think that four times is excessive. Lucky for that couple, they had the $80,000.

Anyway...that's it for now. I had other musings, but they can wait. I'm tired.

I am going to watch The Wizard of Oz in the theater on Wednesday! I can't wait. I love that movie. :)
