[quote=Anonymous]OP, in which online groups are you reading anti-adoption sentiment? I’m an adoptive parent, so I can’t speak for the experiences of adoptees. I would say adopting trans racially, as I did, requires a lot of homework about how people will view and treat your child, which is important to know about so you can be prepared for the racism that will be directed at him or her. I worry about the adopted children of parents who do not fiercely protect their children. And adopting a newborn is completely different from adopting an older child. It’s in the latter case that there are other problems you need to be aware of going in. For myself, adoption was the best thing I ever did, and my child seems happy to me! But of course, like all parents, my reasons for adopting a child were selfish: I wanted him.[/quote]
