[quote=Anonymous] Provide post adoption counseling and support, especially for those with international, older child and foster care adoptions for several years after the adoption and continue till 18 if a family needs it. These families would not give away their biological children so there is no excuse to give the ones who they adopted. Many have a rescue complex and do it for religious or other needs and those kids cannot live up to their unrealistic expectations. Many of the kids don't get counseling which is vital to older kids.[/quote] If you are not in it for the long haul, just as you would be for your "real" children, don't adopt. Walk far, far away. Adopted people did not have a say on who they received as parents, and the loss of the first parents is traumatic enough, even as newborns. To lose the second set, who claimed that they were going to be there for life, is unconscionable. Rehoming should be made illegal by ALL states in the U.S. This black-market system leaves children vulnerable to pedophiles. Adoption agenices, who could really care less who adopts as long as they get their money, and these loser APs should face criminal charges and a requirement to financially care for that child until adulthood.
