Voting deadline: February 4000
Description[?]:
| Konrad Warner: Every person in Beluzia who is a capable adult should have the freedom to adopt. What do we say to the single mothers and fathers out there working hard to raise children on their own, when we do not allow single parents to adopt? What do we say to the thousands of children, desperate for a new home, when we force potential adopters to go through intensive, expensive, and burdensome processes to give a child a new life? The time has come to shutter our orphanages, not because of financial constraints, but because there are no more orphans. |
