I'm not sure of what the adds say exactly, but I don't think the kits
sound desperate when I hear "adopt".  The reason I say that?..because you
adopt a child even though there are fees to the process.  And, I consider
my ferret like a child to me...I bathe her, feed her, make sure she has a
safe environment to play and learn, and even hug her when she looks
down (& that's only the beginning).  When I think of the term "buying" I
immediately think of clothes, shoes, cars...etc.  Things that can easily be
discarded when the fashion doesn't exist or the item grows old... Know what
I mean?  In the end, all that matters REALLY is whether you love the kit or
not...not the term used to get your attention in an ad.  Right?
