[quote=Anonymous]I am not the trauma poster and have an adopted son, internationally. I do think that if you adopt, you need to do so with your eyes wide open and with a knowledge of adoption trauma and attachment. Many of the parents of adoptees who don't see the long term consequences of adoption are those who have younger kids. That being said, the reality is that these kids are going to experience trauma regardless because they placed for adoption so it your job as a parent to provide the best situation possible and to not pretend that it doesn't exist. Also, please don't let this scare you off. Adoption is a wonderful thing and as others have said, not all kids experience loss, attachment issues or trauma. Just be aware that it exists and it very hard as a parent to reconcile and even harder for the child.[/quote]
