[quote=Anonymous]I posted above that I'm an international adoptee who is also an adoptive parent.  While tragic on many, many levels, I actually think it is better the child went to a family who was equipped to care for his needs rather than languish and possibly suffer abuse/neglect by remaining in his first adoptive family.  Having adopted internationally, I think part of the onus is on the adoption agencies to be 100% transparent with the needs of a child available for adoption and to provide a lot of training and education for the prospective adoptive parents.  Part of the onus is on the prospective adoptive families to be fully honest with themselves with what they can and can't handle.  Saying that love is all a child needs isn't true and families need to hear this loud and clear.  Some families have no business adopting.  There were failures all around.

Also, while the love for both bio and adopted kids is the same, they shouldn't be parented the same way.  There is a complex layer in parenting an adopted child that isn't present with bio kids. While bio kids aren't immune to their own needs and issues, of course, adoption adds something else.  It is not fair or right to assume that their needs are identical.  I have both adopted and bio kids, before you ask.

Finally, to the poster who is this woman's friend, for God's sake, someone needs to tell her to get the hell off social media and protect her children's privacy.[/quote]
