[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an adoptive parent, I too am all-too-aware of the same anti-adoption idiots on this board. Some of us have children old enough to also read these posts. As above, don't be ignorant. [/quote] Interestingly enough, it is almost always the adopters who show up to discredit those who write from experience about the unethical, coercive, and often illegal adoption practices that are commonplace even today. YOU benefitted from having the financial ability to take a vulnerable woman's child and raise that child. You have not suffered the loss of your family. You have only gained. So of course you think it's great. The system is set up to benefit adopters and profiteers. Sometimes, some RARE times, a child may benefit without any loss or trauma...in the exceedingly rare cases of actual orphans with no kinship ties, maybe. But the rest of us on other sides of the equation - children who have been adopted, and families who have lost loved ones to the adoption industry - know of different truths that don't benefit you. Rather than dismissing our realities, you'd do well by the children you adopted to understand our perspectives better rather than smugly and defensively dismiss us.[/quote]
