[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are " random results of lottery placements"?
I have an adopted DD and have no idea what you are talking about?

Adult adoptee here. Probably means how it’s random that some adoptees were adopted by really great families (like I was) and how some got really shitty families.  [/quote]

This is true for adoption or no adoption.[/quote]

Yup.  Another adult adoptee, and while I sometimes thought about the randomness of being placed with my family, I recognized that it's all random.  Some people are born into wealth, others into poverty.  Some people have parents that they get along with well, others feel like an alien in their own family.  Some people are born into families with histories of addiction or abuse or cancer; others hit the jackpot.  Might be worth saying that to this teen.  We all get the luck of the draw, whether genetically or through an adoption agency.  As long as his parents love him and take care of him, he's winning the parent lottery.  [/quote]
