Creating a Family: Talk about Adoption, Foster & Kinship Care Should I Hide My Tattoos If I Want to Adopt? - Weekend Wisdom
Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.
Question: My husband and I want to adopt a baby. We are working with an adoption attorney, and we have to make a book about us and our lives to be shown to women and girls who are considering adoption for their baby. My husband has full-sleeve tattoos on both arms and on his neck. I am worried that it might be a turnoff for a girl choosing a family. Should we use pictures where his tattoos don’t show to up our chances?
