[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an adoptive mom and also adopted myself. We’d adopted internationally. There is definitely trauma involved. It can be mild or severe but anytime a child is removed from a home and culture or family of origin there will be lingering issues. Any parent who says otherwise is in denial and probably not a great adoptive parent.[/quote] Adoption isn’t trauma (unless there is a problem with the adoptive parents). The circumstances that lead to adoption is the trauma. Adoption is an imperfect attempt to deal with the trauma.[/quote] Adoption can be trauma but not in the sense some are posting via your point of view. If it was a shady adoption, against the birth parent wishes and other things, it very much can lead to trauma. It happened to a child/family we know where it was a very shady adoption.[/quote]
