Adopted at birth or later?

I grew up in two different boarding schools for girls, the number of adopted vs. biological girls was significant enough for the school to provide on site therapy/group therapy sessions with a licensed therapist.

Of the girls that I recall – most were adopted at birth, several were adopted older, but not from foster care (2 were from Korea and one was from Russia).

I think that stories like this are proof that even as invasive as a homestudy is, there is still a component missing.

Ironically, all of the girls I lived with where there until they were old enough to live on their own.

Now, I guess, in the defense of the parents – they were living in a home which was required to be paid for by the parents…I guess it could have been worse.
