[quote=Anonymous]I remember reading that if you are trying to minimize the risk of health problems with your adopted child (including mental health problems), consider why the child is available. In Eastern Europe, they were often taken from parents due to abuse or addiction. That of course would increase the odds of the child having subsequent problems. In Korea, babies were available because of the social stigma attached to having a child out of wedlock. In China, babies used to be available due to the strict "one child policy." Those type of reasons are less likely to be associated with medical issues for the child down the road. [/quote]
