And we were never told any of that. I wasn't told the statistics that my adopted child would be way higher likelihood of drug addiction, of suicide, of mental health issues.
Mental health does. So now she's even double-dosed, triple-dosed because then she's placed. Like, they don't tell you none of these things. Right. So I think that's why when I say there needs to be some sort of reform and there needs to be deeper things talked about because then we can make the best decisions for our children.
And his mom most recently just, like, got really upset. Like, we're super close with Ty's mom. And she got super upset. And she just apologized. And she said, I am so sorry. that I wasn't educated enough to not know that adoption wasn't the only choice either. And you can tell she's regretful about that.
And it sucks because we're all years out of it, and now we know. It's almost like if we would have known, not what we know, you know? And so you're right. We did. We deserved to have adults. you know, looking out for me after we gave, we never even watched it.
And the fact of the matter, she was like, literally after placing Carly for adoption. Everybody saw what I was going back home to. All the adults in my life saw what I was going back home to.
There needs to be more resources for the birth parents and education. Because I was just sent back into the chaos. And actually, it was 10 times worse than what it was.
So... I think that's what I would just – yeah, I would love to just talk and educate them and give them all the facts. And they'd probably think I'm annoying after a while because I'd be like this, this, this, this, this. Read this book.
So hopefully now with new information you go on your platform and say, hey, adoptees, this is – Or I learned more or I heard more or this is what I still believe and this is what I changed opinions on or whatever.
Absolutely, yeah. And so, you know, I just really thank you for taking the time.
This is great for you.
But I think even in the future, I think there's other conversations we could have about different things too.
We could even do it via like a Zoom type of app and stuff too from home. And I just really appreciate your opinions and your thoughts and your inputs on the situation. And just thank you for coming.
And remember to stay curious.
I didn't know what was going on. Really? You were going to? Hell no. People were like, what? That wasn't our first thought. Honestly, it was more or less like, you know, she's really good at what she does. She's a friend of ours. We like kale. You know, like, I'm going to ask her some advice. Yeah. And then eventually it progressed that way. And I said, we would be stupid not to.
Well, it was authentic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you've always been like that. So I was like, well, it'd be stupid not to do all of this.
Which is awesome.
You know, Ty and I, we've known you for years. And there's been many moments where it's just been us and you. And we've talked about deep things. And you're just a very authentic person. And, you know, so I was like...
Absolutely.
That's like never going to go away. Right, right. But I also have worked my ass off. I was going to say, and it feels like they take it away when they're not seeing what you have done to really, like you said, propel yourself to bigger things.
I mean, who doesn't? Who doesn't?
