[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 629303, member: 14557"] I'm not worried it would be adoptive parents, who would be using that card. In my experience, when one adopts a child, they are usually willing to go all lengths to help that child any way possible. I was more referring to society as whole. The importance (and because of hat funding) we give to programs and resources to help children in less advantageous position and so on. Most often adopted kids, even with maybe disadvantaged genes and even early and prenatal environment, have advantage of resourceful parents who are committed to help their kids. Though they too can lack outside resources to do so efficiently. But children, who get the double or triple whammy of disadvantageous genetics, early and prenatal environment and later environment are what I'm really concerned about. And with adopted child one has to remember the hopeful part. At least half is environment, so while that adopted child may have bad genes, it is not yet a lost case. And Nancy: I find a bit of an attack and offensive to tell, that adult children turn to be problematic individuals, because they turn to be just like their birth mothers and that is just how it goes. Or that people who give birth to difficult children simply shouldn't have kids. I'm not that problematic individual even though my son is. [/QUOTE]
