[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the deal with Roberts’ 2000 adoption of Irish twins (literally), at a time when international adoption of them was illegal?[/quote] Get real. While I generally do not agree with Justice Roberts' legal opinions and perspectives, I certainly consider his adoption of 2 children a good thing. No doubt, those children are lucky to have the Roberts as parents. [/quote] I agree plus not sure what PP is referring to as international Adoptions were not only legal but relatively common U.S. parents adopted one foreign-born child for every 200 births in 2000. https://www.prb.org › resources › i... International Adoption Rate in U.S. Doubled in the 1990s | PRB[/quote] I’m DP and we adopted internationally in 2000. I think 2000 was the pinnacle year of international adoptions in the U.S. I researched extensively back then and you could not adopt from Ireland back then unless the child was a relative. Certainly I’m no expert though. I would have loved to adopt from Ireland as we are 3/4 Irish. There were two Irish families we met in Russia who said it was difficult to impossible for them to adopt there. This is the first I’ve heard about the Robert’s adoption. Sounds fishy but maybe they are biologically related. I think his land sale is fishy AF. We can’t continue to have ethically compromised people on the Supreme Court.[/quote] [b]If you are so desperate to adopt why go overseas whether are thousands of children this country who needs a loving and stable home?[/b] The facts of the Roberts illegal adoption are in a link on page three of this thread.[/quote] You know, I was waiting for one of you mean girls to pipe up with that. We went through a domestic home study and a newborn boy was placed with us at the hospital a couple of hours after his birth in 1997. His mother had cocaine in her system, he was addicted, but otherwise he was healthy. In the U.S. you foster for one year before adoption. For seven months he was ours. I held him and loved him through his drug withdrawal. The law says bio parents are better and the bio mom got his bio father to file for custody. He was not the man she listed on his adoption papers, but the second man was the DNA dad. The boy is now 25 1/2 years old, and I hope he's doing well. Bio mom had not even named him at birth, so I have no idea what his name is now or if he's even alive. Children do better with bio parents but we both can't help feeling used. We were not going through that again. Don't you feel great that you had your GOTCHA moment? How many children have you adopted? Now that young women are forced to carry unwanted pregnancies to term, you MAGAs need to pitch in. BTW, we already had two bio children, so we were not "desperate." We went through readoption in Virginia which required updating the home study and more visits. We did that so they will always be able to get authenticated Virginia certificates of foreign birth. Suspect adopters don't usually do that. [/quote]
