More reasons to live please

I know i asked this before.
But since then my life has unravelled somewhat and im failing to see any point.
We wished to have kids.
Went to an adoption agency and they said how bad lgbt people are as parents and then berated us for not being in lgbt support groups.
We then got rejected. The reason given was our totally calm normal dog was out of control.

We submitted a complaint but they were too high rank for us to be taken seriously.

Any sparks of joy would go a long way.

You want to adopt a child as an LGBT couple and got rejected on the basis that you would make bad parents ?

Sounds like a regular heroic LFD group just queue again

Don’t let a hurdle do this to you.

Not worth it.

It just puts you up on a pedestal, showing you that you are a better person than they are.

That’s actually disgusting and an abuse of power.

If not for the fact they share their info with all other agencies it would be simple.

But she was homophobic beyond belief, blamed rejection on our dog who just chilled out, and said that when we were questioning her blatant homophobia, talking like normal people, no voices raised at all, we were horribly out of control too.

Maybe stay off the forums and seek counseling? Forums not going to be a good place to fix real world issues

Going to guess you live in a red state, OP.

My condolences for you and those children denied good homes. Consider, however, that the future is unknown, that people like this are a dying minority, and that stories like yours will be held in perpetuity in the internet, meaning those children up for adoption who fail to find a good home, or worse, end up in an abusive household, will have a window into what could have been as they grow up and become adults.

Life is filled with joy and sorrow, it’s ups and downs. Never fail to appreciate what you have. Find the beauty in everything you see, no matter how repulsive it might first appear.

Also, don’t stop complaining. Go over their heads. Keep going over heads until you get somewhere.

If I were you, I’d stay off the forums. It’s clear that you aren’t okay, asking what happens after death, and this forum post. It’s reportable what you’re doing, so please tell me whether or not you’re trolling. Because many people might do a real-life report. But I do apologize for what you’re going through,

Oh our complaints is going all the way.
My name has a shortened version of it.
She asked which i prefer and i said either is fine.
You could see the disgust on her face from that alone.

She knocked our door smiling, saw our dog, and was garbage to us every second after. Even though he did nothing but be big

Take it this way. The LGBT community are still not fully accepted by the society yet . So it takes lot of courage to come out and say that you are part of it. that alone would make you guys good parents . I mean if I call “Gay” ppl “Gay” here the moderator will ban me with a copy/paste you are banned notification :rofl: .

Its really sad that instead of trying to help in any way, there are people that see this and would flag.

Utterly detestable people there

Eh. It is what it is. And in my opinion, is most likely for the best.

You’ve been around the forums long enough to know that a thread like this will go downhill fast… and considering your state of mind I don’t think that’s what you really need.

Just focus on the positive and don’t get hung up on the negative (pertaining to what goes on in these forums)

I feel i need a ride.
Any kind of something you know

I guess that people rather seeing me gone than helping in any way just hurts

Why was this flagged lol??

I honestly don’t think anyone is doing it to be distastefull, I think it’s more than likely people being concerned about you.

I am sorry that this is happening to you with looking into adoption.
If you need to go over that workers head and keep track of what was said.

Well. I don’t want to walk on egg shells to cater to your feelings. I feel for you, but I also feel like you should know… it isn’t wise to confuse people on the forums, even regulars, for people that care about you.

It’s nice when people show they DO care-- and some do-- but not everyone does or will.

Just think of this event as merely a setback. That’s all it is. Everything will be fine. Just don’t give up.

I would like to think it true, but knowing these forums, and how we had a thread earlier saying lgbt should be a toggle, i doubt it

While i do expect some degree of respect, i dont expect caring from them dont worry

I’m sitting here reminded every day how disgusting the US (I’m assuming you’re in the US) is towards people, down to sexism, racism and homophobia to boot.
Man, that kind of crap is basically not ok here in Australia. Kids are allowed to go to whomever here, including same sex and employees can get into serious trouble for their personal issues against well, certain groups of people.
Really sucks you’re gonna have to be put through the ringer to make this happen but honestly? keep at it purely to spite the adoption agency and see if somehow you can’t get them involved legally (idk how, just this is unacceptable af and shouldn’t be allowed to fly) but Idk how the US works with these kinds of things.

Chin up, fam.

Im actually from england which makes it all the more shocking.
Its the first time ive ever encountered such bigotry in my life.
And they come from such a position of power ive no way of fighting back.

We tried and they said we spoke to her and we were in the wrong
