When adoption goes wrong

Doesn’t it sound like an oxymoron to club adoption and it going wrong together? Adoption is something that brings joy to the families and a home to a well-deserved orphan child so how can it go wrong? Well…. That’s what many people think and don’t even bother to prepare themselves adequately to begin the process. You’ll read an article below that simply breaks your heart.

The article below is fairly long so take your time to read to understand. Although this article talks about inter-country adoption, I don’t see much difference in in-country adoption also. As I had said before pre-adoption counseling is absolutely essential and never ever go by your gut feelings but hard facts. When you finish reading, please come back here to post your comments that others may become informed and empowered.

Here is a link to the article: http://www.newsweek.com/id/74385/page/1
