I am not so sure dpen6 that in a divorce you do not have to adjust to another family. My parents divorced when I was 5 therefore, I do not ever remember living with my dad. I adjusted to his multiple marriages and also a stepbrother and stepsister which after he divorced their mothers I never saw again. Also I may have a half-sister that he let someone adopt. So I think divorce does bring adjusting to a new family.
Now I do not believe that it is the same as being adopted, it is different, but there is alot of adjusting to new families. Also as an adoptee that is adopted as an infant, they do not have memories of a family that they never lived with. I am not saying that this makes it easier, but they know that there is someone out there that is related to them by blood, but they have never known. Just my opinion, not speaking for anyone else.
