[quote=Anonymous]I have three adopted kids. The process is a lot of work, expensive and an emotional roller coaster. I love my kids and am glad I did it. But there are challenges. Two of mine have FASD and one has a lot of mental health issues, some related to adoption and abandonment. While no kid comes with guarantees, adoption does have unique issues. Abandonment, reactive attachment disorder, FASD, and some other things are issues you may face. While bio kids can have FASD, it’s 100% in the birth mothers control so you can avoid it in a bio kid by electing not to drink during pregnancy. You don’t have that control with adoption. Knowing everything I know now, I would do it again and I can’t imagine life without my three. But we’ve definitely had challenges that my friends and family who have bio kids neither experienced nor understand. [/quote]
