Thread: any ideas?
I'm not sure where that article comes from, but it's completely sugar-coating the issue and ignores the often devastating realities of adopting an older child -- especially internationally. What if it were you? What if you were taken away from your home (inadequate though it might be), away from the people you know, away from your language and culture -- and taken to a foreign place to live among strangers?
Too many people adopt internationally because they think they're "rescuing" a child, then get upset when the child isn't grateful and appreciative. With any child, but more so with an older one, you get what you get.
