WHAT.
My parents are thinking of adopting again.
WHY?
We're already a family of six, and they - the parents - are getting old. I just... don't think any more adoption is a good idea.
They're saying they want to get someone young, preferably from China. They're so serious about it my mom's given me the "Autobiography" I have to fill out about myself. It was only yesterday evening they even mentioned it.
"May I please be excused?" I said.
"Yes, you may."
So I stand up and put my dishes away and then my mom's like, "Oh, can you come here, Caitlin?"
And I do and she's like, "Dad and I have been talking... and what do you think about adopting again?"
So far, I've just been saying "Yeah, sure" to them. I mean, woohoo we're bringing a child into the Land of Dreams, but really... I don't think this is a very good idea. I guess I don't want this change and I'm afraid of, like, my parents getting too old for the child and then it'll be like "Who's this kid gonna go to?"
I'm kind of saying "yes" though because if that were to happen maybe I could inherit the adopted kid. I think that would be cool. Maybe.
It's hard trying to figure out why they even want another kid. FAMILY OF SIX.
And sometimes it feels like the rest of the family hates us. Dad's side, anyway. They're like the perfect blonde haired blue eyed American family, and then my parents go and adopt. Getting Tegan and I as babies aren't even that bad. But then they got the BOYS, who are beyond obnoxious.
Which is why if we do end up going through with this I'd want a younger child.
Why would they want to adopt again? It's only been like 3 years since the boys got here. We don't need anyone else. It's too much.
I mean, having a really younger sibling would be pretty cool, but IT'S TOO MUCH.
Sorry this post is really unorganized.
