[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are " random results of lottery placements"?
I have an adopted DD and have no idea what you are talking about?

Adult adoptee here. Probably means how it’s random that some adoptees were adopted by really great families (like I was) and how some got really shitty families.  [/quote]

But this is true of birth families, too. [/quote]

Correct. But children raised by the family they're born into are one and done with their random lottery.  Adopted children go through it twice- the (bad or good) luck to be born into a family that can't raise them and then the luck to "chosen" by another- good or bad- family.

Birthparents or agencies choose, not the child.  Birthparents generally look for families who are either very similar or very different depending on their life experiences. [/quote]

I’m familiar with the adoption process as a member of two different parts of the adoption triad. Some families do indeed choose.  The adoption agency makes a referral but the family is the one who accepts the referral. [/quote]
