Adult Adoption +21-30 - Happy Ending for Young Adults
Adult Adoption - Needed law for people with disabilities or with mental issues people.
Why is this important?
I want to make the campaign myself about adult adoption, because there are many adult people without family or adults that have really hard lives.
Kids from orphanages, when they grow up to 18, must leave the chance that they will have a normal life, with a chance of having a lovely family.
Mentally ill people who survived the worst hell on earth and grew up to 18 don't have a chance to be adopted again to change their road of living. Young adults whose parents are divorced are having issues with finding a partner or even trying to get a job, or even worse… they might end their life. They suffer because they never find true happiness. In my opinion, happiness is family.
Adults with disabilities other than mental also might need it, because after their parents die, they still need help with casual day activities. Feeling that you are now like a test machine for social workers hurts in my opinion. They need true help and the true feeling that they are actually a part of life.
My Story: I'm 23 years old, and I've always been suicidal. I tried earlier, ending my life like 11 times, and I'm still thinking about it. I wish there was a thing that would help me, that would give me a purpose for future living. I can't work; I tried, but suffering is beating me every single day. I can't live like that because I want to have a life like most of people; my parents divorced, other parts of families hate me, and I have no one, no one to actually feel good. I wish I had a law, a possibility that someone could adopt me and change my life. I know it might sound weird, but I need it to survive; I want to feel good.
We all know that we will be in a coffin, but the more important question is what we bring to it.
