I'm brutally anti-natalist. I think it's selfish to bring life into this wretched world understanding the socio-economic devastation that child will have to endure later in life while there are also over 400,000 children in the foster care system.

I don't have the emotional or financial capacity to foster children now, but I'd like to think in my 40s I could be the Evelyn Mercer of fostering teens and giving them the necessary guidance and support to enter and flourish in adulthood.
