I so strongly agree with Linny. It's so easy for others to attach a blame on adoptive parents and try to "save a child" by making allegations that are so untrue, to the detriment of a family already struggling. I've seen it over and over again in friends that have adopted hurt children. It can easily destroy a family. The reality is that adoption is not always the answer. There are children with such deep wounds that it's too much to ask of them to bond with a family. Alternatives are available and, as hurtful as it is to feel that we've "given up" on a child, sometimes it's the only answer in order to save those that want to be healthy in a family setting. I wish there was a better answer for all that are struggling.
