[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 698055, member: 1550"] Oh I agree. Both of these boys had special "parents" in Hong Kong who would bring them home and make them feel special...more loved than other orphanage kids. Goneboy knew the oldest in the orphanage and said, "He was smart!" And never a behavior problem either. My boy from foster care at age 11-13 and with five placements already would not have been any better in their care. He was already too damaged. Yours, I think the same. The Hong Kong boys not only had a perfect environment...the boys were resilient and not destroyed by living in an orphanage. But that is the exception. Most of the Hong Kong adoptees were a mess. Some parents actually admitted they were sorry that they had adopted these older kids and those families mostly had other adopted kids who came as babies... The system sucks all over the world.
