[quote=Anonymous]Well, my dad pretty much washed his hands of my brother when he was 13 and "gave'" him to my aunt and uncle across the country. I think that is different from what you're describing. Certainly, older kids are taken from families all the time and end up in foster care and adoption. The dysfunctions that lead to this are not limited to the poor/brown. It's just that richer families escape CPS scrutiny and their problems get called "emotional or lifestyle," and not neglect or abuse. I think a family like this, you'd want to consider whether a relative can step in, even a distant one. A stranger adoption for a 2 year old sounds brutal. [/quote]
