To Marry or Adopt? Social Media Debate Ignites Over Fatherhood and Foster Care

The issue of absent fathers and the alternative of adoption is gaining attention on social media. A recent video by Fashionably Divorced, a US-based creator, sparked a debate. "If men actually want to be fathers, why don’t they adopt?" she questioned, highlighting the large number of children in foster care. The video, which has garnered 6130 views and 770 likes since its upload on June 1st, 2025, received strong reactions. One commenter noted, "It's a complex issue, but her point about the importance of adoption is valid." Fashionably Divorced's video underscores the need for a more nuanced discussion about fatherhood and the options available to those who wish to raise children.
