Apalling lack of oversight on fate of children adopted from overseas. This is not just Wisconsin, but is part of our culture across this nation.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Headline is a little odd. Are all Americans doing this?
I once knew of a couple that let an adopted child “go back”, and people looked down on the couple for doing so. The child was incorrigible as I understood it.
And this is why Putin prohibited adoption of Russian children to Americans. Gah. He is a snake but I really kinda like him. Bite my tongue.
I know a divorced woman who took in a girl from Russia whose US foster parents here wanted to get rid of, so she was fooled into taking legal custody.
Within 6 months at 15 she was sneaking out at night, skipping school, doing drugs and making it with adult men who were related to Jesse Jackson.
She ran away and at 15 she gave birth to a mixed baby and decided she didnt want to be a mom anymore, no fun.
The woman I knew went to court to absolve her legal custody and so at 16 the girl marries the father (to keep him out of jail I assume) and soon runs away from him too leaving the baby behind.
Complete disaster.
My intuition is that the best chance of success is with children who are under the age of 3 when adopted.
nothing suggest this was done legally so “more laws” wouldn’t do anything
this was an act of stupid people and unfortunately we haven’t yet discovered an effective law against stupidity
There are loads of children in this country that need parents, why people go outside has always confused me. The cultural divide alone is a surmountable obstacle.
People these days seem to think that adopted children are property, akin to pets. They feel they can transfer “ownership” at will.
This is no different than dropping of pets at the pound ...
Now why didn’t *I* think of that when my three were teenagers...all at the same time? ;)
What is today? Abuse a Kid Day? Yeesh! Lots of articles on this subject today. :(
Another sick operation.
