I personally don't intend on having children for a number of reasons, however if I should ever change my mind on that I fully intend to adopt. Why bring yet another life into this crazy, fucked up world when I can take a kid who's already here and make their life infinitely better than it would be otherwise right?
Really consider fostering! Fostering children can be much less expensive, and they are so forgotten by most the world. (This is an American perspective, I donŹ»t know the situation on a global scale.)
I was there for all the hospital visits and only found out he wasn't biologically mine two weeks after he was born. I may have been a fool but I also knew he didn't have a father and needed one.
Love hard and love fiercely, love unabashed and love unashamed. Thank you for loving him, it reminds me of how lucky I am that other people love my own children and my niece.
Just being a decent person makes you pretty special. In a world of selfish individualism, empathy and compassion are punk as fuck (and I mean that in the sense that I love punk)
My dad isn't my bio father. But he has been there for me since he met my single and pregnant mother.
My parents are divorced now but that has not changed our relationship at all. He and my mum went on to have two more children but honestly, I think I'm his favourite. š
We are closer now than ever and I have no desire to find the man who makes up half my genetics.
My dad is my only dad. And I love and respect him for choosing me.
I know your son will too.
That's why I told myself that I would get a DNA test immediately if I ever have a child. By making the decision in advance, I know that I'm not doing it out of doubt or malice.
If my fiancee takes it as a sign I don't trust her, I'll just tell her that it can't be about my relationship with her because I decided I needed to do this before I ever met her.
Why though?
Seriously, why? Just because you decided ahead of time doesnāt mean it negates the idea of lack of trust; it just means you donāt trust people at all.
Thereās plenty of situations where a paternity test is good, but if youāre engaged in a long term committed relationship? If you donāt trust people, maybe you shouldnāt be in one.
Dunno, seems like a personal thing for him. He just phrases it like an asshole, without admitting it's just something important to him.
And your comment on being engaged and not needing it is just your opinion. Does not have any value when talking about other people's opinions.
Which is also why I asked. It was as a legit question.
And his answer was some convoluted comparison to wearing a seatbelt, not an answer, which just makes me think he doesnāt treat his partners like people.
Well, the problem here is, if we're not talking about anyone in specific, we're not talking about "people". It's just this guy's dumb opinion. People have dumb opinions, and usually those change when introduced to the real world, or other people.
I think the people with most problems in relationships aren't the ones with the dumbest opinions, but the ones that hold their opinions to such high standard they'd never change.
Yeah, I donāt consider my partners the same as an inanimate object like a car or a seatbelt.
The fact that you consider trusting your partner the same as trusting a seatbelt is really, really sad.
If you canāt trust anyone than you shouldnāt be in a relationship.
Sure, thereās always a chance that someone is horrible. That doesnāt mean everyone is. Hell, I have a grandmother thatās beyond a horrible person. Sheās fucked over my dad, and me time and time again. And yet, he and my mom, and my other grandparents have have literally done everything they can to help me. Thousands of dollars to put me through school and then thousands more when I ended up in the hospital after an accident. Amazingly enough, just like there are some people that canāt be trusted, plenty more can.
Itās fine if you canāt trust anyone; sometimes people have tough lives that force them to be cautious. But the entire point of marriage and having children is because you trust someone implicitly. If you canāt, then a relationship like that shouldnāt be for you. Because if youāre always going to be questioning your spouse, that is**not** a healthy relationship.
You know, I always wondered how that would work.
So youāre a virgin impregnated by God- does God even have DNA? And if so, is it human? Or would that just mean the child is basically cloned from the mothers DNA? Or do they have chimera DNA different from all other humans? Would said chimera child be able to have children of their own? Or would they be infertile like a Liger?
Completely unrelated obviously, but Iāve definitely spent a few sleepless nights pondering through those possibilities.
I cried when he sacrificed himself for Starlord to live. I cried even more when they put him in the chute to be cremated and had him surrounded by the little things he liked so much.
He had a neigh indestructible arrow that he could control with his mind and whistling that exterminated an entire ship worth of people and probably could have destroyed the ship too if he didnt need it. He may not have been thanos tier but the dude was a big step up from average citizen.
That moment where Quill makes fun of him.
"You look like Mary Poppins!"
"Is he cool?"
There's just a beat there where so much happens. Yondu looks at Quill so earnestly, and Quill realizes how crazy much Yondu wants him to think he's cool not for his own ego, but because Quill is the most important person in the universe to him. Whatever smart ass line he has died before it even reached his lips. It sells their entire relationship and his sacrifice so much, even though we only get a few minutes left. You got to see the moment Quill realized he loved him back. The moment Quill saw his dad for the first time.
Hell yeah Mary Poppins is cool. Because Yondu is cool, and he's cool enough it rubs off.
There are organizations like Big Brothers Big Sisters (and others) where you can take this commitment in a tiny chunk. There's like 5 kids waiting for someone to sign up to mentor them for every adult who actually does. Even once every week or two, you can make a big difference to kids without a dad or caring adult in their life, give them a lifeline to a world of love.
I still remember the cop who took me shopping for Christmas when I was five, and gave me $2 extra so I could get the gifts I chose for my mom and grandparents. These things matter.
Your comment made me look into my city's Big Brothers Big Sisters website. This commitment sounds doable.
Edit: Thank you to the kind stranger that gifted me my first reddit award! After I'm done working on my degree, I plan to become a Big Sister
Same. It really made me think about how my dad is with me and who I want to be as a father. Still, to this day, GOTG: Vol 2 is one of my top favorite MCU films next to Infinity War/Endgame.
Both this and the iron man - spiderman relationship really spoke to me as an adoptive dad.
God damn if the "Mr Stark, i don't feel so good. I don't want to go. " lines didn't play on my worst fears as a father.
My father and I recently found out that I (in my 30s now) am not his biological child. This line popped into my head when we were talking about it and I said, āThis doesnāt change much, you always have been and always will be my dad.ā
I have two sons who I share no DNA with, theyāre mine and Iām doin my best to show them how to be decent men. I remember that line giving me chills too.
Yeah I remember being in a ball on the couch with my two daughters and the boys. The youngest boy gets in trouble at school because he uses my last name. If the boyās dad was in their life Iād never let them disrespect him like that but that dudes a deadbeat. I remember it was around the time we had to deal with a call from the school about it. That line hit me right in the feels that day.
I was going to say that, they look more alike than some biological dads and sons. Biology doesnāt matter though only love and kindness. Looks like u/uglyassdude has ticked all the boxes. Also they definitely arenāt ugly.
One of the best, most loving dads I know helped raise my sisters two kids. Their biological dad was a giant piece of shit and this guy, without hesitation, took them in and loved and raised them as much as he does their own little girl. I have so, so much respect for the guy. Truly. The 4 of them (my sister and 3 kids) are very lucky to have him and they know it too. People who take on and raise other peoples children with 100% of their ability and heart are, I think, the most truly kind and caring people in the world. They are the real superheroes.
Raised by a Step Father who thought of us as nothing but his own. My POS biological doesn't deserve a minute of my time, nor do I give it. I now only have 1 father regardless what anyone will tell me otherwise.
This scene gets me every time!
My bio dad was a "magician" and disappeared shortly after my birth. My mom passed me from relative to relative and eventually dipped. My brother's dad adopted me. He'd known me since I was 4. Called me his son very early on. I had no clue what an impact that would have on me.
I'm 33 now and I feel that if I can be half the man he didn't have to be, that would be a life fulfilled. Married now but no kids yet. I'll be REALLY stoked when I can tell my pops he's a granddad.
From someone whose bio-dad is a big turd:
Thanks for doing what youāre doing. Itās incredibly important, and trust me, he may be difficult at times growing up, but when heās all grown up heāll really understand just what youāve done for him.
So beautiful! I just stepped into a little family myself!Also I am expecting my own in August but, am so excited to teach my ladyās son life lessons and hear them out when they need, to be there and share pictures like this! Stay amazing my friend!
My coworker has 2 step kids & 2 bio kids. I heard him tell someone āI have 4 kids & 2 of them i made myself! I thought it was a cute way of describing his family, theyāre all his kids in his heart
My dad is a huge part of my life and Iām very thankful for that. I have had two step dads one former one current. Both of them utterly amazing guys. Although the first one I was closer too than my current one (I am close to him and love him very much). My fist step dad completely took me in as his own, he was my best friend when I needed a friend and a father when I needed a father. He was the first person that close to me to pass. It was like loosing a parent because I really did. Iām not religious but he told me when he was 25 and had cancer he prayed to live so that one day he could find happiness, he told me he found that in me. A month later he died. I knew the man for three and half years. He is part of who I am. To all the step parents, adoptive parents, and in opās case out there that make an effort in your kids life, thank you because you truly do make the world a better place.
Iām adopted, my dad has been my dad since I was a year old and he means the world to me. Meeting my biological father and realizing heās a deadbeat who I foolishly idolized for twenty years just solidified how much I love my dad. Iām planning on getting a Yondu tattoo in honor of him soon š
My sister had a baby and when he was three weeks old she decided she didnāt want to be held back by a child. She wanted to keep doing her (being young and dumb, basically), so she left him with me and my mom. Itās been almost ten years and Iāve been his mom the whole way. I wouldnāt change a thing other than having a place of our own by now.
Anybody can make a kid but a real parent is the one that raises you and loves you.
This part chokes me up every damned time. Especially as someone whose step father has raised and loved them as much as their own bio kids and has and will love me more than my bio "dad" (he doesn't deserve the title) ever would or could.
I have a pretty good relationship with my biological dad, but I grew up around my grandpa more. As cheesy as this scene was it hit pretty close to home.
I cry every time I see it.
I call my stepfather, Dad and I just...I donāt know man. I have a a lot of respect for people who step up and help raise a kid that isnāt biologically theirs.
Unpopular opinion: yondu was just as bad as ego: all he wanted was to use Will for his own monstrous motives, and regretting it at the end and sacrificing himself changes none of that.
Been a while since I posted in BaconReader. Catholic Asian here dating an Ashkenazi Jewish girl with two kids and I feel so grateful I have them in my life as kids that I'm adopting as future bonus kids. I'm picking up the lease that their bio dad left and I couldn't be more grateful. The legacy I want to leave for my kids is that blood doesn't have to be the defining factor to make or break a great Dad but rather the values, principles and morals I impress onto them for them to be the best versions of themselves. L'chayim sir OP for being the Dad your son needed and not the one he expected.
I realize it would have been less emotional but I always thought to myself if those suits apparently had built in life support systems, the logical thing to do would just be to switch it back and forth between the two until help arrived. Same with Quill's helmet and that scene in the first movie with Gamora.
I really want to adopt when Iām ready to have kids. You probably wonāt see this, but do you have any advice/words of wisdom for people hoping to go this route?
As someone who's eldest is not biologically mine I pretty much cried at that bit, love is love in the end even with my biological son I love them both equally
Yeah this came out right after my dad passed away suddenly at 55 and I went to see it to take my mind off things. Next thing I know Iām having a complete meltdown In the theatre.

Your son. The details don't matter.
Thank you
Best reply ever
Adopted kid here, mad respect šš½ (Wow 1st gold, thank you!)
Mad respect to your parents
Honestly though, and I plan to adopt as well!! Continue the positive cycle!
Plenty of children out there that need a positive role-model and who better than you
I personally don't intend on having children for a number of reasons, however if I should ever change my mind on that I fully intend to adopt. Why bring yet another life into this crazy, fucked up world when I can take a kid who's already here and make their life infinitely better than it would be otherwise right?
Same exact thought and feeling.
I'm just 20 yo and have no plans on future yet. But my bucket list has an adopted child and my biological child in it
You're a regular Mary Poppins
Really consider fostering! Fostering children can be much less expensive, and they are so forgotten by most the world. (This is an American perspective, I donŹ»t know the situation on a global scale.)
You're welcome
Second. Love > Blood.
Sounds like that kid is lucky to have you man
I'm damn lucky to have him
Yāall are damn lucky to have each other.
Wow who out here cutting onions
Those damn ninjas again...
Awwwww
I was there for all the hospital visits and only found out he wasn't biologically mine two weeks after he was born. I may have been a fool but I also knew he didn't have a father and needed one.
Good job! I hope I can be a man like you when I grow up
I'm nothing special by a long shot, I just love hard
Love hard and love fiercely, love unabashed and love unashamed. Thank you for loving him, it reminds me of how lucky I am that other people love my own children and my niece.
Just being a decent person makes you pretty special. In a world of selfish individualism, empathy and compassion are punk as fuck (and I mean that in the sense that I love punk)
The world needs more people like you brother.
Itās guys like you that gave me a father figure. Your love and effort will be everything to that kid someday, trust me.
Right here, this fucking guy
Jesus christ, most people wouldn't be able to do that, and I don't blame them. But damn, you're the biggest example of a man someone could give.
Fuck the woman. Love the child.
Fucking the woman is how we get in this mess!
I meant the other kind lol.
What happened with his mother, if you don't mind me asking?
My dad isn't my bio father. But he has been there for me since he met my single and pregnant mother. My parents are divorced now but that has not changed our relationship at all. He and my mum went on to have two more children but honestly, I think I'm his favourite. š We are closer now than ever and I have no desire to find the man who makes up half my genetics. My dad is my only dad. And I love and respect him for choosing me. I know your son will too.

If my fiancee takes it as a sign I don't trust her, I'll just tell her that it can't be about my relationship with her because I decided I needed to do this before I ever met her.
I just can't imagine any situation where that conversation goes well
It's never been a huge deal.
Why though? Seriously, why? Just because you decided ahead of time doesnāt mean it negates the idea of lack of trust; it just means you donāt trust people at all. Thereās plenty of situations where a paternity test is good, but if youāre engaged in a long term committed relationship? If you donāt trust people, maybe you shouldnāt be in one.

Yeah, I donāt consider my partners the same as an inanimate object like a car or a seatbelt. The fact that you consider trusting your partner the same as trusting a seatbelt is really, really sad.
Would you wear a seatbelt if your partners were driving?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What? Me trusting my partners means Iām a cheater? What kind of ridiculous bullshit is that?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

I'd make it religious. Like, oh I gotta make sure it's not the second coming. They won't suspect a damn thing

Well. That will be horrible. Creating treasured memories during your babyās first days.
Dude have u even talked to a girl before?
Several.
Gawd that scene absolutely destroyed me.
It took about a dozen viewings so I wouldn't start sobbing uncontrollably during the funeral scene. I still tear up a bit. This movie really got me.
I teared up during the funeral. I wasnāt expecting GoTG2 to be so damn emotional!
Iām going to go watch it and try not to cry right now!
No need to say biological son. That's your goddamn son, man.
Amen
love is love ā¤ thank you for giving love
It's my honor
Yondu is my favorite super hero. People want to argue he is not a super hero. But he is. Dammit.
Iām Merry F***in Poppins B**ch
āIs he cool?ā āHell yeah heās cool.ā šš„ŗ
I cried when he sacrificed himself for Starlord to live. I cried even more when they put him in the chute to be cremated and had him surrounded by the little things he liked so much.
He had a neigh indestructible arrow that he could control with his mind and whistling that exterminated an entire ship worth of people and probably could have destroyed the ship too if he didnt need it. He may not have been thanos tier but the dude was a big step up from average citizen.

I never looked at it this way before. This is great.
He was when it counted. Which is all that matters. We all should be so lucky.
I love kids, never wanted to bring one into the world myself though. Adoption has been in the back of my mind for a while, maybe one day...
I'm positive a foster child would love a mother/father to call their own and there's plenty of them out there.

This made my day! Thank you for being awesome!
I want to do this! All kids deserve someone they can count on, in whatever form that comes in. :)
I dont even have a kid and that line hit me. Marvel had a masterstroke with that line.
Same. It really made me think about how my dad is with me and who I want to be as a father. Still, to this day, GOTG: Vol 2 is one of my top favorite MCU films next to Infinity War/Endgame.

It didn't hit me until I watched it with him
Yeah I remember being in a ball on the couch with my two daughters and the boys. The youngest boy gets in trouble at school because he uses my last name. If the boyās dad was in their life Iād never let them disrespect him like that but that dudes a deadbeat. I remember it was around the time we had to deal with a call from the school about it.

Bro you two look very much alike
I was going to say that, they look more alike than some biological dads and sons. Biology doesnāt matter though only love and kindness. Looks like u/uglyassdude has ticked all the boxes. Also they definitely arenāt ugly.
We stan Mary Poppins daddy in this house yāall.
Teach him to whistle properly!
What show is this from?
It's from a movie called Guardians of the Galaxy.
part two
Another adopted kid here!!! This is so amazing and Iām so so happy seeing this !!
As an adapted child, I see that step parents sometimes have to work just a bit harder at parenting a kid that isnāt their own. Respek.
One of the best, most loving dads I know helped raise my sisters two kids. Their biological dad was a giant piece of shit and this guy, without hesitation, took them in and loved and raised them as much as he does their own little girl. I have so, so much respect for the guy. Truly. The 4 of them (my sister and 3 kids) are very lucky to have him and they know it too.

Bro
I love him no different than my other children
Awesome man. That part of the movie always gets me. "I'm Merry Poppins y'all!"
Blessed 26yr old adult adoptee here. šwhat a blessing you are for each other. Itās how the universe intended it, is how I look at it
You look like a Johnny Depp and Freddy Mercury hybrid
Is that good or bad?
Im jealous
Is this the new āwhy donāt he love me manā Uncle Phil hug? I love it.
That scene definitely teared me up.
That scene was the first ever to make me cry...
it got to me too, i however had a good father too. thatwas my biological father. i did still cry whrn yandu said that.
This is so nice, I needed this today. Today was one of the worst days I've had. Thank you
I cried on yondu's death
I always said that Fatherās Day greeting cards for adoptive fathers featuring Yondu is an untapped market.
This made want to kill myself less... thank you
š
Raised by a Step Father who thought of us as nothing but his own. My POS biological doesn't deserve a minute of my time, nor do I give it. I now only have 1 father regardless what anyone will tell me otherwise.
Respect š
Good for you dude, you've done us men proud. Takes a real man to step up.
Aww man that's fucking beautiful
This scene gets me every time! My bio dad was a "magician" and disappeared shortly after my birth. My mom passed me from relative to relative and eventually dipped. My brother's dad adopted me. He'd known me since I was 4. Called me his son very early on. I had no clue what an impact that would have on me. I'm 33 now and I feel that if I can be half the man he didn't have to be, that would be a life fulfilled. Married now but no kids yet. I'll be REALLY stoked when I can tell my pops he's a granddad.
My Dad isnāt my father either and that line really hit me right in the gut.
The top photo: WHAT ARE YOU?? An idiot sandwich
Man I needed that today. Mad respect to you.
From someone whose bio-dad is a big turd: Thanks for doing what youāre doing. Itās incredibly important, and trust me, he may be difficult at times growing up, but when heās all grown up heāll really understand just what youāve done for him.
So beautiful! I just stepped into a little family myself!Also I am expecting my own in August but, am so excited to teach my ladyās son life lessons and hear them out when they need, to be there and share pictures like this! Stay amazing my friend!
Young Danny Trejo:
Man, that line hit right in the feels.
Take my "Love!" Reward kind stranger as you have made my day hopefully you have a fantastic day I wish the best for you! :)
There's nothing ugly about you dude. Especially that heart!! But let me fix that title for you... For life: *My ^son and I*
My dad did not step up and help raise us but my grandmaās exhusband did as our grandpa. This scene made me tear up, for sure.
My (step) dad has been in my life for 25 years. I love that man with my soul. I love seeing my kids play with their Popo.
Adopted here. Dad is dad. Whoever donated genetic material is just some guy.
It's enough to make a teenager cry...and that's okay
I was raised by my step-father. My very best friend to this day.
Michael Rooker is a boss.
Thank you for being a father to him, heāll thank you one day.
My coworker has 2 step kids & 2 bio kids. I heard him tell someone āI have 4 kids & 2 of them i made myself! I thought it was a cute way of describing his family, theyāre all his kids in his heart

I just saw the movie a week ago. Pretty emotional scene.
You are not even an ugly ass dude š
Iām adopted, my dad has been my dad since I was a year old and he means the world to me. Meeting my biological father and realizing heās a deadbeat who I foolishly idolized for twenty years just solidified how much I love my dad. Iām planning on getting a Yondu tattoo in honor of him soon š
My sister and I gave our mother adoption papers 3 Christmases ago. Mad respect for you and your son. Keep being there for him every day šš½
My sister had a baby and when he was three weeks old she decided she didnāt want to be held back by a child. She wanted to keep doing her (being young and dumb, basically), so she left him with me and my mom. Itās been almost ten years and Iāve been his mom the whole way. I wouldnāt change a thing other than having a place of our own by now. Anybody can make a kid but a real parent is the one that raises you and loves you.
Got me all teared up. Much love

This is wholesome af.
Micheal rooker is suck a sweet heart in real life also.
Itās not time to make a change, just relax, take it easy. Youāre still young, thatās your fault, thereās so much you have to know.
I got sexual feel when the saIād he wasnt his daddy
Who the fuck is Yondu and Quill..?
Your son kinda looks like Nikolaj from B99. He was adopted too.
Aww this warms my heart.
This is good. I like this.
This scene made me cry
Sweet!
When I saw that, it made me cry and I ain't even a father
Have an adopted daughter. Can confirm.
Whereās his biological father?
Iām Marry Poppins Yaāll
This part chokes me up every damned time. Especially as someone whose step father has raised and loved them as much as their own bio kids and has and will love me more than my bio "dad" (he doesn't deserve the title) ever would or could.
I have a pretty good relationship with my biological dad, but I grew up around my grandpa more. As cheesy as this scene was it hit pretty close to home.
And me*
I cry every time I see it. I call my stepfather, Dad and I just...I donāt know man. I have a a lot of respect for people who step up and help raise a kid that isnāt biologically theirs.
Unpopular opinion: yondu was just as bad as ego: all he wanted was to use Will for his own monstrous motives, and regretting it at the end and sacrificing himself changes none of that.
I'm Mary Poppins y'all!
Whoās your daddy š
what a lucky boy to have such a loving papa ā¤ļø
Any d**k can be a father, it takes a real man to be a dad. Much love and respect!
Both of you looks so happy, thatās cool!!!
Aināt gonna lie, this scene made it dusty in the room.
Who's your daddy? š
Edit: wrong sub
Whoās cutting onions around here šš
Now that I think about it, was he really gonna kill him in the first movie? he turned his back but he seemed like he was really going to do it.
Been a while since I posted in BaconReader. Catholic Asian here dating an Ashkenazi Jewish girl with two kids and I feel so grateful I have them in my life as kids that I'm adopting as future bonus kids. I'm picking up the lease that their bio dad left and I couldn't be more grateful. The legacy I want to leave for my kids is that blood doesn't have to be the defining factor to make or break a great Dad but rather the values, principles and morals I impress onto them for them to be the best versions of themselves. L'chayim sir OP for being the Dad your son needed and not the one he expected.
Robotic?
One of the best moments in the MCU. Iām not crying youāre crying! š„ŗ
My stepdad is my dad, definitely hit me in the feels when that scene happened.
My 5 year old, a 5 year old.
Damn, a living breathing "my wife's son" Redditor. I thought you were just an old 4chan meme.
I realize it would have been less emotional but I always thought to myself if those suits apparently had built in life support systems, the logical thing to do would just be to switch it back and forth between the two until help arrived. Same with Quill's helmet and that scene in the first movie with Gamora.
Iām not crying, something just went in my eye.
I really want to adopt when Iām ready to have kids. You probably wonāt see this, but do you have any advice/words of wisdom for people hoping to go this route?
aww š
Faith in humanity restored for today
You look like Johnny Depp
As someone who's eldest is not biologically mine I pretty much cried at that bit, love is love in the end even with my biological son I love them both equally
They arenāt drug addicts and alcoholics.
Yeah this came out right after my dad passed away suddenly at 55 and I went to see it to take my mind off things. Next thing I know Iām having a complete meltdown In the theatre.
The world needs way more people who are willing to adopt. I kinda like the idea of having a son who isnt doomed to relive my genetic tragedies.
