    It was discussed on one of my FB pages and I don't see a problem with it. A lot of points were made, including:

    -Anyone who visits an orphanage may feel a pull toward adoption. And they just said they're open to it, not that they are going to do

    I'm going with "ugh" too.  I have seven dogs and people look askance at me. Every one of them is loved and very well-cared for, but people who don't know me well joke about hoarding.  <img src="https://community.thebump.com/cs/emoticons/emotion-6

    Hmm...I don't know...I don't really watch the show or know too much about them, but if they want to help a child by adopting, I'd say "go for it!" :)

    I'm a dance studio owner, writer, cat mommy, and adventuress who is married to the man of her dreams. My husband and I have had a long-time dream to adopt and it's happening in a way that we didn't quite anticipate. But, like any move of God, it's turning out way better than we expected.
