What are you talking about? Thats pure crap. We have a daughter adopted there who is the average American teenager now, none of the problems you seem to think infect the kids brought back here.

I think he’s referring to the fact that many of the Romanian Orphans were so poorly treated (physically and psychologically) in their home country they were at risk for serious psychological problems. But from what I’ve read, it took a lot of work, but the kids are going to end up OK.

I know of two families in the states who adopted Romanian kids. One of these kids started out with severe emotional problems when brought here as a 4 year old, but is now relatively stable and happy. The other kid is an out and out sociopath, who is, nevertheless, going to college next year. Would make a good Meth dealer, IMHO.

Romania's top exports are construction workers, orphans, and prostis/porn actresses. The only "poor white" immigrants I saw while in Spain recently were from, you guessed it, Romania, both Romanian and ethnic Rom. The latter of which, btw, have gotten into scuffles with their Spanish-born gypsy cousins (who still live in shanty towns, even in Spain and France).

Its a sad country and a sad situation. The Nikolai effect will take decades to be even partially erased.
