[QUOTE="DDD, post: 507998, member: 35"] From my experience with social services I believe that full disclosure just doesn't fit in their plan for finding placements. I, of course, have not adopted but the majority of the children I served as a GAL were in adoptive homes or foster homes. in my humble opinion there was nothing "accidental" about limiting the info provided to perspective forever homes. Issues of PTSD, attachment disorders, addition histories etc. where downplayed or conveniently left out of the profile. This is one of my "rant subjects" so I won't keep typing. I just think it is very very sad. With so many people yearning for a newborn there isn't any perception of future problems. The younger the child the fewer questions people ask..in my experience. As the children age "in the system" I completely believe that previous problems and potential future problems are glossed over by the emotional pitch that each child needs and deserves a "forever" family. Sad. DDD [/QUOTE]
