As an adoptive parent from the US myself you people all make me sick. Adoptive families are not charity cases anymore than your biological children are. Kids are kids. They are not lucky to be chosen, they are blessings to their families. They are not bought or sold like a fashion accessory through adoption. Many times in the US people make a plan with someone to adopt their child because they are either too young and can not parent, are ill or physically unable or even not financially able to have a child and care for them properly. They are not all crack babies that come up for adoption either in the US. Many times healthy infants are available and it is a big myth to say they are not.
Obviously none of you have been touched by adoption personally in your lives to know what you're talking about at all because you all are believing and feeding on the stereotypes out there that are untrue, so in that sense shut up and sit down before you hurt yourselves with uneducated information. You are not helping the adoption community with what you are doing.
Adopted children are real children and part of their real families. Adoptive parents are the real parents. Birth parents are special people and just as much of a blessing to the adoptive families that care for their children as their own as the child is. They are not all crack heads or junkies etc.. either. I know my sons birth mother was not and didn't come close to being what you have stereotyped them to be in your minds. I thank God everyday that my son was born, for the mother that had him and for the love that placed in him in my arms and made him a part of my family forever.
