Why did he want that man? What makes him so special?
“Modern Family” tells us that anyone, another man, another woman or two, any “loving adults,” would be just as good. Maybe better!
But this boy wanted that one particular man. His own father. Being wanted by him staves off feelings of rejection. Being known by him allows him to know himself. Being loved by him pushes back against self-loathing.
We can tell children that fathers are interchangeable. But we cannot make them stop longing for their own.
His father has been incarcerated for more than 15 years. His son meets him for the first time on this day thanks to work of @GodBehindBars. His son wouldn’t let go! His faces tells you how important this day was for him.

Bereavement leave for abortions.
You can’t insist abortion ends nothing more than a non-person, non-sentient clump of cells, then treat its loss as a death when it comes to workplace leave. Those two things contradict.
Adoption says: a child exists who needs a family. Let’s give them one.
Surrogacy says: we want a child, so we’ll create one through a contract that requires separating that baby from the woman who carried them.
One seeks to heal a wound.
The other intentionally creates one.
I joined @realdailywire’s "Wired In" to explain why I was so encouraged to see Millie Bobby Brown choose adoption and why our culture desperately needs a more honest conversation about surrogacy.
One thing I love about children is that they see their family reflected in everything.
My son arranged these pinecones and said, “Look, it’s dada, you, me, and baba!”

A tragedy has struck my family. My daughter was still born, after an emergency c-section. My wife almost lost her life. Please pray for the two of us during this difficult time.
This is, without a doubt, the best clap back ever— Mean Girls edition. 😏
It gets better and better. @rachelbovard has long described Washington, DC as Mean Girls, and Wired’s catty vitriol is just further affirmation. Don’t underestimate the underdog.
WIRED came for Emma Waters’ beliefs, family, faith, and even her appearance but the profile also documented just how much influence her work on fertility policy is having.

Really great point by a lot of people in the comments-
There is also a really good chance that the abortion made this once pro-choice woman into a pro-lifer because of how awful it was.
It’s not hypocritical, she actually changed because of her experience and now her ex friends are trashing her for it. Awful.
Actually the only thing someone has to do to avoid being harmed by an illegal abortion is to not attempt one 🙆🏻♀️
The solution to illegal abortions is jail, not making it legal to kill children and get away with it.
Most people are against abortion. But a person who wants an abortion is gonna get an abortion no matter how hard you are flag clutching. The trick is getting proper legislation to lower unsafe abortions and thus lower abortion rates overall. Full bans don't work statistically
This isn’t true by the way.
Abortion bans have zero impact on the legality of removing already deceased children and miscarriage care. Pro-abortion doctors are the danger.
Due to abortion bans, many doctors and hospitals have pushed/delayed essential medical intervention like inducing labor or removing fetal tissue after miscarriage or stillbirth. People have died because of this. No one carries a baby till after 20weeks just to abort for fun.
