Any adoption experiences? Especially if you have both your own kid and an adopted kid. (sh.itjust.works)

I am pretty against having a kid of my own for many reasons (scared of pregnancies, scared of babies, awful genepool, etc.) but I do like kids, and am not against adopting a kid. It's just rare to see many parents with adopted kids, so I'm always curious about the process. I'm getting a tubal in a few months, so I guess I'm just asking all my questions early lol

Goodness that's awful. How is your sister doing after all this time?
