1 x 11 Trust But Verify . Dig questions how Oliver could ' ve gotten a message about The List from his father if he was stranded on Lian Yu for 5 years . Oliver responds I didn ' t say I found it on the island ! He doesn ' t specifically reference going back to Starling however . <| sep |> You ' re 19 years old . Have you been with a child 247 for a year ? Then no , you don ' t have a lot of experience with kids . You are not ready to adopt a child . Do you have experience with a cranky kid ? sick kid ? A child who develops a debilitating illness , causing you to have to give up your entire life for them ? Do you know how to raise a child ? The signs to look for when somethings wrong ? The time to take them to the doctor ? You have put little to no thought and are only approaching this from the perspective that owning a child is 1 dimensional , that they ' re always this perfect little angel that takes minimal care to handle . This is all irrelevant , because the second you walk into an adoption agency , they ' re gonna turn you away .
