I hate that I don't respect adoptive parents anymore, but I don't.[/quote]

That's a rather broad brush statement. I know two couples who adopted children from the foster care system and provide a wonder family life. [/quote]

It's not just about providing a wonderful life.  It's about ethics and how the adoption was done.  Were the birthparents given enough services and support during the reunification process, for example?[/quote]

I don't know all the details but in both cases the birth mother had drug problems, didn't want the child, and had ample opportunity to change her mind. It was a long road for my friends as foster parents before they could adopt. I am confident that this all worked out in the best interest of the children and shudder to think what life could have been for them otherwise. [/quote]

That's not how foster care generally works.  Except if they agree, which is very rare, their right are terminated and they don't get an opportunity to change their mind.  But, there are lots of different ways to adopt.[/quote]
