Adoption has come a long way since the days of forceably placing a child for adoption, as well as totally closed adoption, but not far enough.
As far as myths I'd like to see dispelled:
#1 -- Birthmothers are going to stalk the adoptive parents and steal their baby back
#2-- Birthmothers are drug addicts, and not good mothers.
#3 -- That birthmothers don't love the children they place.
#4 -- That adoption is a second rate way to form a family (I am echoing this one).
#5 -- That adoption is easy for anyone.
