[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 355401, member: 1550"] Thanks. Hate to say it, but love is not enough if a kid grew up in a caregiver deprived, cold orphanage with no primary person he can attach to. I would never adopt from Eastern Europe because of how their children are put into orphanages. I don't think it's much better though in US foster care. It's a real mess and needs a total makeover. A lot of the birthmothers of parentless children. use drugs or drink or have mental health issues (birthfathers too) which further puts the kids at risk (genetic stuff). Sadly, many people think they can love these kids enough and that this will solve the problem. It just isn't true. [/QUOTE]
