How adoption messes with your mind

I saw this flier at church on Sunday night, and read only certain words.



I was filled with joy. I could totally adopt a three-year-old black American girl named Chelsea! She needs me! And I need her, for Heaven's sake!

Then, read all the words on the flier.



I know the photo is blurry, but it clearly says, "Feline." It was for a cat, not a human. I move that from now on, the word "adoption" should only be used to refer to parent-child relationships. We should "pass" laws, "start using" new technology and "bring home" new pets. It will make life much less confusing for those of us who are obsessed with adoption.
