What are the pros of adoption?
for the adoptive parents: a child for the adoptee: only in the cases of extreme abuse & where there were no family members to become legal guardians of him/her, they get a family for everyone else, we get a lifetime of lies, confusion and guilt because we mourn the loss of our mother & family. we also get all sorts of mental issues, including (but not limited to) depression anxiety grief confusion fear of rejection fear of being abandoned diseases which could have been caught earlier if we had access to our first family & their medical history (in my case, I got cancer, 2x) a lifetime of not being like our adoptive families relationship issues r.a.d http://www.radkid.org/ and guilt from outsiders, and sometimes insiders, because we dare to search and have the capacity to love both our families JUST TO NAME A FEW. read more about the effects on adoptees: http://www.nancyverri
