[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 574436, member: 1550"] Be careful in public because people have strange misconceptions about adopted children and parents. Many have negative ideas and most have no idea how damaged some of them are before we get them and how they can't be parented like other children because of their special needs. I've also had others console me as in, "I'm so sorry. Can't you have your own?" As if it is a "lesser than" way of having a child and that I can certainly not love the child as much, which is not at all true in my case, but they don't know me....and they don't know your heart either. Foster parents, which is what we really are until finalization, have a higher rate of social services knocking on their door due to false allegations than biological parents. Listen to the school and if they involve social services tell them you learned your lesson. We've had social services called on us for moronic reasons (our kids were obviously not biological because of racial differences). Most of the time when when the social workers saw that, they said, "Oh. Ok. That's why they called. Well, be careful." [/QUOTE]
