[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 525459, member: 11791"] RM... I grew up with adopted friends and adopted cousins. There may not have been "stats" 40+ years ago, but... the adoption agencies DID know, even back then, the difference background made. How do I know this? because I saw one family have to wait and wait and wait to adopt - they were considered a blue-ribbon family, and the agency made sure that the two they adopted came from "clean" backgrounds. The other family got quick adoptions... of problem kids, but they weren't told that... but of course, this wasn't a "blue-ribbon" family. This isn't new. And while mine are not adopted... I have very strong feelings about adoption, too. I just feel, so much, for parents who have been put through so much, by systems full of people who really did know better. [/QUOTE]
