Just no easy answers, I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adoption-disruption-reuters-investigates-the-child-exchange#post-1082190 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 10:56:07 +0000 Mrsbells 1082190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read the previous post about it, its all very disturbing. I dont understand why they would spend all that time and money to adopt a child only to abandon them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adoption-disruption-reuters-investigates-the-child-exchange#post-1082187 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 10:55:19 +0000 Adira 1082187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! It was actually posted about a few days ago:</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-child-exchange" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-child-exchange</a></p> <p>It's a horrible horrible story! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adoption-disruption-reuters-investigates-the-child-exchange#post-1082183 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 10:54:56 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1082183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There has been a discussion on the boards about it this week. I just finished reading the series last night. I think it's so hard because you wish for an easy place to put the blame... but I don't think there are any easy answers.</p> <p>I don't think the answer, though, is that adoption is scary. I think there is some need for better education, awareness and research for people who are planning to adopt and better support for families once they do adopt. People should be very informed about the risks of adoption from particular countries and if they decide to move forward need to have a plan in place in case their child exhibits RAD (reactive attachment disorder), FAS (fetal alcohol syndrome), or other psychological/physical issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adoption-disruption-reuters-investigates-the-child-exchange#post-1082164 Thu, 12 Sep 2013 10:50:53 +0000 kml636 1082164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone read the following investigation into adoptions gone wrong? I am horrified and can't stop thinking about these poor children. It's definitely worth reading:</p> <p><a href="http://www.reuters.com/investigates/adoption/#article/part1" rel="nofollow">http://www.reuters.com/investigates/adoption/#article/part1</a> </p>
