Perhaps this is minor in light of the larger, more offensive parts of her statements, but I also take issue with the idea of, "just adopt". Does she have any idea of how hard that has become? It is expensive and may involve many years of heartbreak. Not to mention that a bipolar dx may make you ineligible! There was a news story a while back saying that Chinese orphanages are thinking of preventing people who are overweight from adopting. Seriously? Many good potential parents are kept from adoption and it makes me very sad. Honestly, due to the toll that minimizing my meds has taken on me, I would absolutely be happy to adopt. But, realistically, I don't have the money and I know I would face discrimination for BP, so I am going to have to attempt to grow my own, so to speak.
