[quote=Anonymous]I agree thank you...  You can give birth and have issues so not just if you adopt.

quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When adopting, it's best to nurture attachment relationships, which is why a nanny would be best emotionallly for the child, and a nanny-share would be best financially for you while still coming as close to the emotional needs as possible. [b]Please keep in mind this bab y will be going through a trauma, and trauma can alter brain chemistry[/b].[/quote]

Off point, but we've adopted three babies at birth, and my calm, happy, always-smiling babies didn't seem traumatized at all. Go figure.[/quote]Its not about whether or not your baby is happy or colicky, or whether they seem traumatized to you.
Before birth the baby get used to its mothers voice and heart beat. It knows that person is no longer there, and even at that age goes through a sense of grief. Denying how the baby experiences adoption is not going to change that[/quote]

Or, making general assumptions that everyone is traumatized who is adoption an also be really unhealthy for a child.  So, basically, what you are saying is we should all be putting our kids in therapy for the trauma you perceive they have.  [/quote][/quote]
