[quote=Anonymous]I saw this comment on her page and I agree that they handled this so badly. Basically, it sounds like they adopted him for extra clicks on social media and used him as a prop the whole time he was with them. "Adopt, don't shop" ?? WTF

"He's been on camera since day one. He has had no privacy. His medical information has been used for clickbait videos.

They didn't follow any advice given to them about how to help a child adapt to a new family without re-traumatizing them further. No cocooning. Introducing to family members very early on. Speaking purely English and changing his name immediately. They brought the entire family to China and treated it like a holiday, not caring about the fact it would likely overwhelm any child. [b]They were given the option to stop the adoption and were aware that his medical issues were largely unknown. They spoke at length about how his medical files did not seem accurate and should have known, with research, that adoptions from abroad and particularly China carry this risk. [/b] She said herself that "anything can happen" with international adoptions. I do not think anyone would have judged them for disrupting the adoption as soon as they realized it may be more than they can cope with but instead they spouted cliche, "he's found his forever home." They tagged pictures of him on social media with adopt, don't shop.https://i.imgur.com/lM1u9gi.png [/quote]
