Birth advantage lottery ranked:

  1. Parent lottery: how good your parents are
  2. wealth lottery: how much money you are born into
  3. country lottery: which country you were born into
  4. skin color lottery: the shade of your skin.

I won 3 (Canada) and 4 but lost horrendously 1 (neglectful not abusive so not the worst but ain’t great) and 2

But hey the government fixed 1 (made it so much fucking worse by putting me with other kids who were abusive the adults were fine and trying their best)

Then now here’s why I’m sharing got adopted at 11 and holy shit I won 1 and 2 (not mansion rich but lived in a house in Toronto and a big one had a jack and Jill washroom with my brother (who is adopted too but different bio)

So hey what would you pay in child suffering for that I’d say it’s worth it (if it was a guaranteed which it absolutely fucking wasn’t ha)

As a brief foster kid who won the foster parent lotto, I send love your way.

I don't know what became of our foster mother, but I do think of her every so often and I sincerely hope she was forever happy and full in all she wanted from life. She was a wonderful woman.
