@mys_lys_ @kilgefin @Ms_H_Survivor I had not heard of this, actually.

[Rhonda Gold @GoldenLadyCroc]

@APuppetMan + sleeves with a champagne colored silk blouse beneath, and charcoal slacks, dangerous looking black stilettos in the gravel. Definitely straight from work.

"I'm not sure how conducive your father's business is to childish disappearances, but I thought I'd offer."

[Rhonda Gold @GoldenLadyCroc]

She might be waltzing up to the Carpenter's shop for no other reason than because she saw a certain motorcycle is parked outside, and she hasn't talked to @APuppetMan in a while...

And she heard gossip that's irked her territorial nature.

[Rhonda Gold @GoldenLadyCroc]

@APuppetMan "Oh, I'm /very/ busy," she reassured him, a mischievous glint to her eyes and a smirk to match. "But I've missed you. Quiet day at the shop, so I thought I'd offer to come and steal you away. Abscond, even."

She wears a black leather jacket with intricate braiding on the +

[Rhonda Gold @GoldenLadyCroc]

She's a Mills. You knew that going in.

[Keith Notham/ Nottingham @MisledLaw]

…I have been. This is just family drama. Her sister and I are like cats and dogs.

[Rhonda Gold @GoldenLadyCroc]

Then you probably are. Work on that. But don't condescend, dearie. Let her be enough of an adult to make her own mistakes. Including you.

[Keith Notham/ Nottingham @MisledLaw]

No offense. I’m insanely happy for you. I just feel like perhaps I’m burdening Zelena.

[UP ALL NIGHT @neversleeps29]

Be honest

[Rhonda Gold @GoldenLadyCroc]

She is up late in the shop, finishing an inventory of a new shipment if antique books, because one of them is one of her old magic books, sold during The Curse as a fucking PROP to some Hollywood movie maker, and she's only just managed to get it back. Bastards.

[Rhonda Gold @GoldenLadyCroc]

And spoken for. I might be a very busy woman, but don't get it twisted.

[Keith Notham/ Nottingham @MisledLaw]

Sorry, but you’re just…way less problematic.

[Rhonda Gold @GoldenLadyCroc]

@MegaSausageHead @Ms_H_Survivor Not explicitly? But a lot of the standards are worded in such a way to make it harder. Single parents aren't allowed to adopt in some places too.

[Rhonda Gold @GoldenLadyCroc]

@MegaSausageHead @Ms_H_Survivor Then please do. Because many states exempt POC and same-sex couples from adopting.

[Rhonda Gold @GoldenLadyCroc]

@MegaSausageHead @Ms_H_Survivor Shouldn't! But it does. Most of the time. It all depends on who is in power to decide what's "appropriate" or not. That's the issue.

[Rhonda Gold @GoldenLadyCroc]

@kilgefin @Ms_H_Survivor Do tell me which exploited women you know who've been forced into surrogacy! I've only witnessed it done for loved ones and friends.

[Rhonda Gold @GoldenLadyCroc]

@MegaSausageHead @Ms_H_Survivor Appropriate is the trouble word there. Because those abstract standards keep many from adoption.

[Rhonda Gold @GoldenLadyCroc]

@MegaSausageHead @Ms_H_Survivor Some people are happy to be surrogates to help a friend.

... I'm not sure you realize, but it sounds an awful lot like you're against adoption too.

[Rhonda Gold @GoldenLadyCroc]

@kilgefin @Ms_H_Survivor That's pretty heartless.

[Rhonda Gold @GoldenLadyCroc]

@MegaSausageHead @Ms_H_Survivor That's pretty heartless.

[Rhonda Gold @GoldenLadyCroc]

@Corkle13 @Ms_H_Survivor Most of the people saying this are horrible, so the people who aren't that want it should suck it up?

Not a great take.

[Rhonda Gold @GoldenLadyCroc]

@juliaharrispr @Ms_H_Survivor Lots of people don't qualify, thanks to some pretty homophobic and racist laws.

Or all the people that only want babies and not kids/youth, to where we steal them from abroad.

[Rhonda Gold @GoldenLadyCroc]

@Ms_H_Survivor And that's your experience and opinion which, while valid, isn't universal. "Just deal with it and don't make it someone else's problem" is hardly sympathetic.
