MyLifeIsAverage - Life is pretty normal today

Today, after waiting for months, I went to an orphanage to adopt a child. The first child I was introduced to was in a full batman costume. We had an in-depth conversation about Gothams crime status, and his recent encounters with the joker. Guess who i'm bringing home? MLIA

[ - ] RiaIsSoTresslaaaGood: 3Bad: 32 years, 1 month ago

Haha me too

[ - ] RiaIsSoTresslaaaGood: 3Bad: 42 years, 1 month ago

Awwhh!

[ - ] sals098Good: 28Bad: 382 years, 1 month ago

this is so fake & I don't understand how no one else has caught on and is saying how cute this is. Orphanages are NOT puppy pounds. You don't just go to the orphanage, look over all the different children there, get introduced to them, choose one and take them home. Are you serious? I have adopted sisters and adoption is a long, serious task that involves so much more than this. How would the other children feel if you just went and looked around and talked with them and then took another child? SO fake & sad.

[ - ] MEStewartGood: 8Bad: 12 years, 1 month ago

You are right about the pound thing but I think what this meant was that she was going to adopt the kid, not that she just signed some quick paperwork and left with a kid :) maybe you're right though

[ - ] 323_lrig_shilopGood: 16Bad: 02 years, 1 month ago

I agree about the "pound" thing, but I also think this is post is true. I think the poster was just trying to simplify things, 'cause I highly doubt anyone would want to hear about the long process of adopting. Cut story =)

[ - ] kiwi456Good: 2Bad: 01 year, 8 months ago

at least she got her child. I am just happy it all worked out for them.

[ - ] moonditchGood: 16Bad: 202 years, 1 month ago

^ Agreed! Adoption does NOT work like that. My little brother is adopted, and no, you don't get to "pick" one. Even though this story isn't true, it is kinda cute =)

[ - ] XXDinosaurRawrrXXGood: 6Bad: 112 years, 1 month ago

i agree... fake but cute

[ - ] chaskinsGood: 4Bad: 12 years, 1 month ago

aww, that's so sweet!

[ - ] wilagasoGood: 8Bad: 22 years, 1 month ago

to sals098 I was adopted and yes your right about some things but she probably meant that is who she would like to adopt

[ - ] ImmaginaryGood: 3Bad: 12 years, 1 month ago

awwwww

[ - ] angieeeGood: 5Bad: 02 years, 1 month ago

i love batman!!! i wouldv probably done the same thing:))

[ - ] phoenix6277Good: 10Bad: 22 years ago

in australia we just go and pick. happened to my cousin

[ - ] LadyZGood: 4Bad: 02 years ago

im glad that you are adopting a child you know you can connect with, like how my dad remarried a woman i can get along with (most of the time)

[ - ] AllTimeLivGood: 6Bad: 02 years ago

That's so sweet!! I bet he's a bunch of fun!

[ - ] mysteriousgooglerGood: 0Bad: 172 years ago

Umm... an average Chinese baby? Right?

[ - ] hannahrolenGood: 4Bad: 01 year, 10 months ago

That is adorable! I'm so happy for you! And I'm glad there wasnt a choice between Batman and Superman. =]

[ - ] trishaleerobinGood: 2Bad: 01 year, 10 months ago

I love Batman! If I ever adopted a kid I want one like that. : ]

[ - ] TheAverageAmigoGood: 2Bad: 01 year, 10 months ago

You are a very nice person to adopt a child- :] Best of luck

[ - ] michaelsgirlGood: 1Bad: 31 year, 9 months ago

Assuming this is true, it probably didn't happen in America. I'm probably one of the few people that don't find this story cute, either way. Although, it is sweet that they chose adoption, not something a lot of people do anymore unless they have to.

[ - ] kiwi456Good: 2Bad: 21 year, 8 months ago

umm it said "I" so it's probably a single parent and i happen to think it's awesome she wanted to do that.

[ - ] michaelsgirlGood: 0Bad: 011 months ago

Adoption is awesome but s/he makes it sound like you just go in and pick one and that's not how it works.

[ - ] margret_the_armadilloGood: 0Bad: 91 year, 9 months ago

You chose your kid based on his knowledge of movies?...sad

[ - ] kiwi456Good: 7Bad: 01 year, 8 months ago

she chose her kid because they CONNECTED through his knowledge of movies

[ - ] Moshi_MonstaarGood: 2Bad: 01 year, 8 months ago

Aww, congratulations! :))

[ - ] iamthebatmanGood: 1Bad: 51 year, 6 months ago

Poser.

[ - ] blueberriGood: 1Bad: 01 year, 6 months ago
