I don't know of any sites but my partner was adopted and I know that he resents his birth parents for it, mostly his mother. I hope this helps |

I was adopted and think it is wonderful what my birth mother did for my family. They were able to have another baby. I am proud to be adopted.
The only negatives are the damn courts that allow birth parents to come back and take children they previously adopted out to other families. That is sick. It is so tramatic for the child, who has only known the adopted family their whole life. Just because you physically gave birth to the child, does not give the right to give them and take them whenever you want. Birth parents that take back those kids are just strangers to them, and that is a huge scary problem in the world of adoption. Once a baby is adopted into a loving family, they need to stay there. |

The abundance of scam artist "birthmothers"
The higher cost of "in demand" babies of certain races
The high cost of agency fees
Agencies who scam couples
How complicated the process can be
How long it takes to adopt internationally |

I KNOW that there are a lot of adoptees that are not happy, for one reason or another, but it does seem to me that this is the universal response- I used to counsel women who were in crisis pregnancies, and they would, more times than not, be very negative toward adoption- they would rather abort than place for adoption- however I can honestly say, "I AM THANKFUL FOR THE LIFE THAT MY BIRTH MOM GAVE ME." I had such a good adoption experience, that my hubby and I decided to adopt our 2 children- and if we could have had biological children. Please in the name of all that is good- look for the good as well |

Yes adoption can turn out to be a pretty risky business. Me and my wife, patunia, adopted what looked like a lovely little boy called Henry 15 years ago. After a couple of months though things started to change. His skin started comeing out green, and even though he is still 15 we still have to feed him through metal bars as he is extremely viscios. We contacted social services but they have no record of where he came from. After many scientific tests it turns out that he may the offspring of Sauron from middle earth. As you can see you never know what you are adopting.
Edit:
I think it is highly-unthoughtful of you marking me down for me spending the time to share my traumatic experience with you. |
