It just irks the crap outta me -National Adoption Month Story

It's National adoption month!! A certain page, who also makes hamburgers, shares stories of awesome people. But today, today I am a little off center about one.  Why is there a go fund me page for every time something like life happens for people?  I get it unexpected expenses like a loss etc. community comes together.  But it really irks me that its news that a family who private adopts infants domestically, and sibs out of foster care within 24 hours is magically a charity case that needs crowd funding?  We have 4 special needs children, three are 2 years old now! We adopted two on the same day and it was dramatic and their stories are sad but are their stories... We didn't set up a page. Heck those people even probably got a baby shower to celebrate at least the two newborns coming into their family.  We ran around trying to get extra baby everything and cribs when we were placed with unexpected infants x three. Oh they had fertility issues, well I had cancer we found during infertility treatments! Ok am I bitchy yup. How you grew your family and the circumstances are a story of life and how you were blessed with amazing littles girls to raise... do not equate with a need to crowd fund your family.  It's not like they appeared on your doorstep 4 at once and the state walked away and said good luck you are on your own out of the blue one day.
