I hear these phrases more and more and I hate it. "I'm fostering a puppy" or "I'm going to adopt a cat" or "Could you be a foster home for a dog?"
It really bugs me. I think it demeans the fostering and adoption of children. I think animals are "rehomed" rather than "adopted". I don't like the thought that my son is "adopted" just like next door's dog.
Is it just me?!
Moan over!
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on adoption.
Adoption
"Fostering" and "adopting" animals
