As an economist it makes me very sad to see an adoption described as a win-win situation. Family is not about winning or losing. I think I'm done with this thread, I should have known better than to say something against Saint Angelina...

Adopton is a paradox of loss/gain for the adoptee. Loss of birth family, sometimes loss of birth culture, birth language. The gain of course is a family and opportunity. The best adoptive parents are aware of this paradox. This was written by an adult Korean adoptee by the name of Trenka, I believe.
I hear what you are saying about win/win, but as an adoptee, ANY adoptee, there is significant loss involved.

I doubt that they'd sell, but you could try.  |
