[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are better off with bio parents, and everyone knows this . . . [/quote] These sorts of generalizations short change all the arguments and stake holders in an adoption. For a much more nuanced understanding, watch "Closure", a recent documentary made by a transracial adoptee named Angela Tucker. Also, I found this series by the NYT very interesting: http://www.nytimes.com/projects/2013/invisible-child/#/?chapt=1 Although not about adoption per se, it is a profile of a dysfunctional family and highlights the bleak options that some of the kids in foster care in the US face. Yes, most babies bond with their birth parents and vice versa; adoption involves an abrogation of that bond and therefore, a loss for the birth parents and the child. However, sometimes kids who are raised by birth parents who aren't prepared to be good parents also face losses and emotional damage. [/quote]
