I\u2019m an adoptee. People always counter my pro-choice stance with \u201cYou were adopted. You\u2019d have been aborted.\u201d I then tell them how many ALREADY ALIVE children aged out of foster care last year and were never adopted.\n\nSo proud of Simone Biles\u2019 use of her platform.

The people who say just put it up for adoption act as if going through the process of pregnancy and child birth isn't as traumatic as they believe all abortions are. Adoption is not guaranteed. I suggest they look up the stats for preference when it comes to adoption.

Simone, you go girl! No controversy here. I believe its a WOMANS choice and your absolutely right, THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM IS SEVERELY BROKEN! I'm 61 and was one of those foster children so I know of what I speak.

I have forever & will continue to support foster kids. AS I WAS ONE. I\u2019ve been an advocate for foster kids and the system but you wouldn\u2019t know that because you don\u2019t follow me, you just like to open your mouth.

people like that always try to find a way to make you look bad if you say something that they don\u2019t agree with. it\u2019s a shame to see them weaponise this topic and the foster system so they could seem like the better person. you handled that very well <33

Don\u2019t let trolls get you down! You are an incredibly strong, powerful, courageous, brace, beautiful, boss woman! You have started a conversation that was needed LONG ago! Little girls & young women have a new role model who has made it okay to talk about mental health. Thank you!

From someone taken away on my 7th birthday & remained until aging out of Foster care I understood EXACTLY what you meant. The system is damaging most often than not. This take brings much needed awareness on many key issues. Please continue to be a beacon of light & leadership.
