Adopting kids

[SunshineGirl2016]

Read an article today that's got me thinking about the issues of adoption such as children's behavioural issues, little support offered to parents etc. What are people's experiences of adoption? Asking out of curiosity mostly and to see if the article's negative premise that parents aren't given much help is true.

I haven't always been able to empathise- it has developed over many years!

I see, thanks for that explanation shockers. Good luck.

I have a glorious well adjusted foster daughter who came to us after many years of abuse by her birth family and stayed with us til she grew up and left home. Her big regret was that she wasn't removed at birth from her mother and adopted, rather than social services trying over the years to work with her birth family.

The subsequent siblings have been adopted at no later than four years each time, but each time the birth family had been given chance after chance to look after them. It's a wretched situation and my foster daughter is very cross that her birth mother is given the chance with these children before they are removed.
