The recording would have been apt if he'd said 'f u, where's my PlayStation', or some such.

The picture was kinda cold, though, right? Here's our family, you're not in it!!! That moment before he read the note was kinda tense.

I cannot imagine what a child must feel like crossing from no family to an instant family, all wanting you to be part of it.

I was alluding to the idea the the Klipharts seem like a nice family and if the kid's that happy I'm sure they're good people.

Your adoption is a special gift for you. And everyone else who watches online. This doesn’t seem like a moment that should be shared.

3 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 2

Then don't share yours.

3 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

That was my point. I wasn’t supporting this being shared. It’s weird, private for that kid, and shared only for the benefit of not him

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

And my point was mind your own business. You don't know these people, they could have asked the kid if it was okay, you don't know.

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

“Mind your business” about content posted freely on social media? All the more reason not to exploit a kid’s joy, right? Lol

I’m okay with it if it’s to inspire others to adopt.

This inspires people to get attention cause they can do shit like this. I feel more i clinced to unadopt people like you

I feel like adoption is more driven by love, than inspiration

What is the definition of inspiration in this sentence?

isn't it funny how other people feel they need to tell you how to live your life? Do w/e the fuck you want! I love your post!

Well son...To be honest, I wasn't going to adopt you until I saw this really inspiring Imgur video....our family is so thankful for Imgur

Don't be a fool Carter! PS5's aren't real! (and even if they did exist there's like 1 exclusive game that can't also be purchased on PS4)

3 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 3

But when it plays and looks 5x better on a ps5 for the ps5 version it’s worth it.

3 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

It's not. Not to me anyway.

Not worth scalper prices or paying for a stupid membership at a box store for the privilege of buying it at MSRP

Also I just played through Ragnarok on my base PS4. It still looks phenomenal, and although 30 fps isn't as nice as 60, still plays well too

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

There’s plenty of ps5’s out there to not buy from scalpers. Idk what membership you’re talking about. Just wait for a sale

3 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 2

Have you actually looked? Cuz I have, and the only ones for sale at any major retailer I've found require memberships. I have yet to see (1

I just put my name on a waiting list, and 3 weeks later I was offered to buy one. IIRC it was $650 for disc version plus extra controller

As someone who is adopted this is nice but please don’t record us. We aren’t a novelty. Nice to see he’s loved.

3 years ago | Likes 978 Dislikes 42

Lol. Are you the spokesman for all adoptees? Maybe the kid was glad it was recorded so it could be posted on social media.

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 3

I'd want to record a moment like this, but more to save the moment than anything. But then once I have it, sharing the moment seems okay.

I also feel odd about his adoption being for xmas. Like it's a gift that he should say thank you for? Still someone's cutting onions here.

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I understand exactly what you're saying. I like to believe however they asked Carter if it was ok to post. Less cynicism

3 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

I feel that way about most videos. Leave people, especially children, especially abused children, with some dignity.

My first thought on watching this was, "Oh what a beautiful moment." And then, "Why am I seeing this? Seems like this should be private."

3 years ago | Likes 77 Dislikes 6

True

3 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

It should be private. Even in the best of circumstances, adoption is born from trauma.

3 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Would have been better if the kid rehearsed his prop work and remembered his blocking /s JFC just let him open it and look at it his own way

If I adopted a child or teen even I'd fully treat them like all my kids, I'm recording for the memories together

Thank you for sharing a part of your life and for bringing awareness to this. People need to not share intimate moments like this.

3 years ago | Likes 18 Dislikes 4

That was my thought. I wouldn’t like to record my new son like, or anyone really. Let the moment happen.

3 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

Fuck that, record it, just don't put it on the internet? You're gonna be old and feeble one day, these recordings are for future you.

I agree, I am adopted and feel this way. So does my adopted brother.

I think that's what they meant. Like don't turn it into something to plaster online. It's definitely something you can record and cherish

3 years ago | Likes 42 Dislikes 1

true, but without knowing the whole story it's tough to judge, maybe Carter wanted it posted. who knows.

Maybe he even posted it himself.

Same. Though, is it legally possible to adopt a 43-year-old and her son? I'd like to feel love like this for once.

I dont believe they were implying that you shouldn't take videos of ur child but rather this particularly intimate moment. Yes, adoptees are

not a monolith and their privacy should also be prioritized before disseminating this publicly.
