I had a friend a long time ago in MA who got emancipated (aka she disowned her parents) from her parents at 17. She was put into a foster system for a short period of time before she turned 18. At that time, they paid checks directly to her for up to one year to help her get on her feet. Eventually, she was able to get her GED and was accepted to a 4yr college where she got an awesome financial aid package and almost no student loans.

As a child who has first-hand knowledge of the fostering and adoption system, how do you feel about parents who are dead-set on biological children and have zero interest in adoption? Would you be open for adoption in the future?

Personally, I've always said that I don't want children at all. But if I ever do change my mind, I will insist on adoption. There are too many children who need families for me to be so selfish as to demand a child of my own genetics.
