This morning I was listening to the radio and had the pleasure of hearing a guest appearance from Eliot (exotic spelling) of Jordan?s Furniture. What happened to his friend? Heard he bought him out? That?s a little rude. But I guess what they say is true?.friends?shouldn?t?work together.
Anyways, to my surprise Eliot?wasn?t?promoting cozy couches, memory foam mattresses or discounted dressers (how do you like that alliteration??). He was promoting adoption.
?Cool? I thought, always being an advocate for adoption. But then I heard the twist. Sixty adoptable children will be at the Jordan?s Furniture Reading location on Sunday from 9:00-11:00am. What theeeeeeeeee???umm pardon??? Is this like a real world gym class picking? An auction of the children? Seems inhumane to me. What if you?re the last kid picked? What if you don?t get picked? It?s like a reaping (cue the Hunger Games analogies).
Eliot mentioned that it?s a no-pressure event and you can go to learn about adoption and foster care. Are you kidding me? If I went I?d end up taking home a dozen kids after being overcome with guilt. And I am totally unqualified for that role.
Equally as important?.did the kids sign up for this?? I?m thinking I?d be in the corner feigning the bubonic plague if Miss. Hannigan told me I was going to Jordan?s Furniture to be another one of the showcases?bedroom furniture?living room decorations?.adoptable kids?patio accessories? Anxiety would slowly seep in that no family would pick me?or worse?I?d be going home with the Butkises to be their personal slave (buying a drink for whoever gets that reference).
Moral of the story?.will someone please go to this to tell me what it?s like? Like I said, I can?t go because I?d leave with children, but I am so curious it hurts.
