By Torin Scott I have been involved in adoption for over fifteen years now. I have watched in sadness as families of friends fell apart. I believe disruption is much worse than divorce, although I have experienced neither. Add overwhelming guilt.
Adoptive parents dealing with impending disruption often feel victimized and isolated.
Instead of support from friends, they hear I told you so. If they were married, the marriage often has lost its luster under the stress. Well, I ll bet you are glad that s over with. Now you can get back to normal. The problem is that the parents were not the ones with the attachment disorder.
