Adopción de niños, mascotas y.... ¿criptos? [Iniciativa de Hive Argentina] ESP/ENG

Hola, queridos amigos de #HiveArgentina, al ver el título de esta iniciativa y comenzar a leer sobre ella sentí ganas de participar porque ciertamente todos hemos adoptado en algún momento, ya que este término no se limita solamente a criar hijos, muchos han adoptado mascotas, un nuevo estilo de vida, un nuevo idioma, algún hábito y desde luego nuevos sistemas económicos como lo son las cripto monedas, así que este tema está sumamente interesante.

Hello, dear friends of #HiveArgentina, when I saw the title of this initiative and started reading about it, I felt like participating because we have all certainly adopted at some point, since this term is not limited only to raising children, many have adopted pets, a new lifestyle, a new language, a habit and of course new economic systems such as cryptocurrencies, so this topic is extremely interesting.

In my country, Venezuela, as in every country in the world, adopting a child is not a simple process (even if all the proper channels are followed). Why? Because it requires a lot of bureaucratic procedures. Although these exist as a safety measure to guarantee children's rights, in the end, there are so many that some people give up. However, that doesn't mean people don't adopt. But how do they do it? I'll tell you about a personal experience (with a neighbor). It turns out that she and her husband tried for several years to conceive a baby, and despite undergoing medical treatments and tests, they simply couldn't. But a young woman who worked with them at their store was pregnant. The young woman led a chaotic life (she smoked, drank, and some people even said she used drugs), which made my neighbors wonder what the future held for that poor baby on the way.

So they discussed it amongst themselves and finally decided to ask the young woman if she would be willing to give them her baby for adoption. She replied without hesitation that she would, explaining that if they hadn't asked, she would have abandoned the child anyway. They decided to take the woman to their home to shelter and care for her throughout the rest of her pregnancy. When the day of delivery arrived, the woman gave birth, presenting the adoptive mother's information at the clinic. This avoided bureaucratic procedures, and the baby was registered as their biological daughter. However, the most surprising part of the story is that, as if it were a gift from heaven, rewarding their good deed, two years after the adoption the couple was blessed with a pregnancy of their own—something they could only describe as a miracle.

As for adopting pets, it's obviously simpler, but you have to keep in mind that not everyone wants to be a parent. Some people simply want the companionship of a pet that makes them feel loved and that they can love. Not everyone likes animals, but those of us who do have a sense of commitment. In my case, I have a dog and a cat (Ron and Harry). Yes, they're named that because my sister and I are Harry Potter fans, but these little animals came into our lives when we needed them most. Ron (our cat) was brought home by my mom, and although I asked her not to bring any more animals home because I still couldn't get over the death of Draco, our Puddle, she brought him anyway, and it was an immediate connection with him. Everyone in the house loves him, but he has a stronger connection with my mom. He climbs onto her lap like a baby and even seeks affection from my dad, even though he wasn't a cat lover. He still doesn't like them much, but he makes an exception for Ron.

With Harry, it was even more surprising. My sister and my mom found him on their way home last December 31st. He was very small and fragile, so they decided to bring him home. At first, I complained because it meant a big responsibility (taking him to the vet, buying food, vaccinations, medicine, etc.), and we weren't in the best financial situation. Even so, once again, my mom didn't listen to me. She told me that God would provide, and thankfully, He did. So she bathed the puppy and then took him to the vet. Our beloved Harry is mischievous but gentle, and he definitely stole my heart completely. I constantly seek his company; I need to hug him, cuddle him, and tell him every second that I love him with all my heart.

Harry Has Grown Up A Lot

Well, all that remains for me to say is that for me, adopting living beings is an act of responsibility, commitment, and love. It's a privilege because you have the wonderful opportunity to choose, so if the conditions exist to do so, but especially if the will and love exist, why not adopt?
