[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Btw I have also heard of this day referred to as a “traumaversary”.[/quote]

That's absurd.  [/quote]

You are extremely disrespectful to those adopted children who really suffer due to their abandonment issues. PTSD, adoption trauma and attachment disorders are very real issues that some adopted children experience. Some are never capable of moving on and living productive lives. [/quote]

They are very real but the majority of people adopted are not experiencing those.  It also depends on what kind of adoption it is.  And, some of that is also parenting on the adoptive parents if they don't understand many of these kids have family histories of mental health, substance abuse and much more.  Its not disrespectful and wording is very important.  A select group, most who have mental health issues, push the negativity in adoption and not everyone feels that way who is adopted.

My child does not have trauma, PTSA or attachment disorder.  [/quote]
