[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 652274, member: 4152"] I also feel sad for your family. A lot of stress and I do hope (and feel) it will work out well. But I also feel deeply conflicted and sad...lacking a better description...that a child might be born and placed for adoption that will likely be a Difficult Child. I know I adopted because of health problems and also highly suspect both of my child's parents were d. adult "children." But, was never informed of this. In retrospect, certain little things I learned, points to this very real possibility. But, it was hidden from me. And as someone with health problems, no extended family and my husband and I took care of his elderly parents while taking care of our toddler and adopted Difficult Child....hmmm. It was life changing...and NOT in a good way. I know many many stories similar to my own. It soured me on the current/ entire adoption world...so much is hidden. Of all our friends who adopted, all have suffered and we are the only ones who have remained married. We happen to know a young couple who adopted fairly recently. So far, their little guy, knock on wood, is doing more or less ok. But, they recently found out about great (huge!) difficulties in the parental lineage. It was hidden from them when they adopted. They worry a lot. [/QUOTE]
