Another panda's making me update this...

So, well done Yoh :P x

Anyway...gonna talk about 'adoption' in the *B community today. Well, specifically on ADISC.

Personally, I don't really like it that much. Not to say I don't think other people should do it, it's just not for me. Being a Mama/having a Mama is really special to me. My Mama needs to love me unconditionally and always have time for me. I won't say 'put me first', because I understand MOST Mamas have to think of themselves firstly...and that's okay, *Bs aren't 'real' children. But I need a Mama to truly and really care about me to earn that title. Fortunately, my Mama has more than earned it! :D ^.^

Most people don't seem to take 'adoption' too seriously. I mean, it really doesn't seem to mean all that much, yanno? Where's the appeal of having a Mummy/Daddy if they're not gonna love you and care about you, not jus' inna passing way, but like you're their li'l cub and they're your parent? I don't understand that, to be honest.

As for me, I don't adopt other cubs, because I could never love them quite as much as my little one. Or maybe I could love them as much, but they'd never get as much attention or affection as they deserved; it would always be 'oh, sorry baby, gotta dash, my other li'lun needs me'.

On top of that, the people who ASK for adoption...are never the people who I'd want to adopt in the first place. Don't get me wrong, most of them are people I like and now consider my friends, but, the proposal is always within the first few days, hours or (on one occassion) minutes of meeting me. Even if I wanted another li'lun, it would take me a loonnng time to wanna adopt anybody new, I'd hafta see how Yuri felt, etc. Asking straight away is a sure way to get a 'no', no matter WHAT.

I'll admit...there have been people I've thought 'yeah, I could adopt this person, it could work...' (bear in mind, this is after weeks an' months of talking and developing a friendship). But even THEN...before I even say anything to Yuri, something will happen to make me go 'no, I couldn't do it'. Jus' somethin' small like Yuri wanting me when they want me, and me saying I had to go tend to Yuri rather than divide my attentions. Stuff like that, makes me realize I don't want another li'lun, or, at least, I couldn't deal with one. Yuri will ALWAYS be my little princess, I think she'll probably be the only baby I'm a Mama to. And, to be quite honest...I'm not sure I hate that idea <3
