The article says she adopted 25 'people' -- not 'children'! To turn the word 'people' into 'children' is either stupid or dishonest.

Excuse me... the ORIGINAL story, told by all in DC through her lifetime, was 'children' and not 'adults'.

There has been an effort to flip the story into 'adults' ever since PG broke. Who the fuck adopts ADULTS, anyway ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_adoption

In places where adult adoptions exist, it may or may not transfer filiation in addition to inheritance rights. For example, in Colorado, one can adopt an adult of age 21 or older for inheritance purposes, but filiation will remain unaffected.[7] However, adoption of a person between the ages of 18 and 20 (inclusive) transfers both inheritance rights and filiation.[8] In most other American states, both filiation and inheritance rights are transferred.

Have to agree, what the fuck is the reason to adopt 25 adults into a family.
