Because this series is running out of ways to completely gross out and mortify what few, very few, remaining viewers they have left, this week’s showing of I Am Cait, titled ‘Kiss and Make Up,’ decided to go down the road of transgender adoption.
Not with Bruce Jenner, but with Candis, one of the friends provided to Bruce by the E! Channel. Candis, who swung and missed on an attempt to kindle a romance with a Trans personal trainer, is rebounding off the rejection by eschewing the whole “finding a partner” thing, and just going out and adopting a kid on his/her own:
>> Kate: You're big on family, right? Would you like to have a famly, maybe kids?
>> Candis: Uh, yeah.
>> Kate: You would.
>> Candis: That's what I want to see for you.
>> Candis: Well, I haven't found the love that I want to find. Yet. I'm at the point now where I desire to meet someone I can actually have a conversation with, that I have something in common with, somebody that I can play Scrabble with. And also someone that I could eventually have a family with. That can bring, you know, bring that relationship to that next level. 'Cause I'll just as soon sit in my house with my dogs and, you know, garden.
>> Kate: Excuse me, let's go right there. Someone who motivates me.
>> Candis: Yeah.
>> Kate: You've got to be someone who motivates you, my baby.
>> Candis: Yeah.
>> Kate: If having family is something that you want...
>> Candis: I think that Kate is right. Things don't have to fall in a certain order to make them happen. So, like, if I want a child, why is it that I have to wait for the perfect marriage or meeting the right person?
>> Kate: This is a big step for anyone.
>> Candis: It's huge for me.
>> Kate: Yeah.
>> Candis: I have a lot of good things going on, you know? I have a career that I love, I have a family that I love, I'm a stable, kind of grounded person, and I think I would make a really good parent. And so, um, why should I have to wait?
That whole “stable” thing is highly debatable.
