as an adult adoptee i see it this way: yes, maybe you are taking a chance that an adopted child isn’t genetically perfect...but then again whose to say that the adopting parents aren’t screwed up?
It is not genetics that are big concerns....it is the devastating psychological damage done to young children when they never “bond” with a person in the first two years of life. Study the “attachment” theory.
And if they do bond-—then being removed from the bonded person also creates tremendous psychological issues/trauma—and young children can’t really “recover” from early trauma when it is severe. You can not treat children like a thing with no emotions, but Communist (Godless) countries are famous for it. They want a Brave New World after all.
This abnormal crucial period in the development of emotional health -—is well known-—the inhumane treatment occurs in all Communist countries-—and studies of the Romanian orphans do suggest that if this damage occurs in their early formative years-—they will never recover.
I do know of a couple that had to give up an older Russian boy (about 8)—because they were afraid to sleep at night in their own home and never could trust him, even after 6 months. This was in the 90’s.
This is not to say that Robertson puts his foot in his mouth. He often does—but there is always a little seed of truth in his statements. It is not all B.S.
