Harlow's Monkey 
These are dreadful, dreadful stories.
As an adoptive parent, I read your blog to gain perspective and to think about the issues that my son and our family will face as he grows up. Our decision to search for and connect with his firstmother in Guatemala was inspired by the perspectives of adult adoptees and firstparents.
I feel like there is a particular circle of hell reserved for the parents from Canada who took SIX YEARS to realize that oops, adoption not for me. And who went through with another adoption during that time.
But then… I don’t know how to avoid sounding like the quintessential whiny adoptive parent here.
Stories like these – of abuse and neglect and horrible wrongs being inflicted on children – happen all too often in biological families too. Is it worse when adoptive parents fail their children? What is the point of bringing together these stories of adoptive parents being abusive? Do you feel that they – and the hideously over-entitled Madonna – are typical or representative of adoption stories?
Don’t know if you happened to catch this bonus article, linked to the right of the one in The Daily Mail about the adoptee finding his family on Facebook…sigh.
Why am I dark, Daddy?
