[quote=Anonymous]16:32 and 19:33 have it rightt. I'm an adoptive mom-- through intl. adoption---where there was no foster system and no real push for reunification. My older DS was 5 when removed from bio-mom---and had there been any meaningful framework for reunification---he would have been much, much better off emotionally if he could have returned to her. Even though by every objective (and most subjective) measurements he is better off with us, his love for her---neglectful and indifferent though she was---is just too powerful. I worry so much that his unhappiness at her abandonment is so deep that he will eventually ruin his life because of it, as he has some of the significant behavior issues that 19:32 mentioned. His sister, on the other hand, is a completely different story. So it just varies dramatically from child to child. [/quote]
