Post Are International adoptee's more satisfied with adoption?

This is a question that I am wondering.

I read a thread this morning by an adoptee and in her thread were some very hateful posts from adoptee's who hate adoption.

I was sharing this with a women at my dd preschool this afternoon when I picked her up. This woman adopted her children from China. She told me when she thought of adoption, her first thought was to do domestic adoption, but she started reading things that left her very upset, along the same lines of things I read earlier.

She said she choose international adoption because the children seem to accept adoption much better. Maybe it's because they were placed in an orphange and are thankful to have a family, that makes the difference. They don't seem to have the anger issues as much as some of the adoptee's from our country. They don't seem to hate the adoptive parents and feel BLESSED that they were adopted.

I never heard of this before, but I wonder, is it true? Do our own adoptee's have more anger then adoptee's who came from oversea's? This woman who adopted from China certainly believes it. I don't know if I believe it or not.

What are your thoughts?
