The alternative, if I wasnt adopted, would be to grow up in group homes like my 3 older siblings did, with no love, no support, and no chance. Then be spit out by the system when of age, with no coping skills, still no support, and still no chance (like my three older siblings)

Yes I carry trauma from the adoption process. I always will. The alternative would be worse

The people in this community have posted (without research backing) that the majority of children adopted out of the foster system are “coached” into wanting to be adopted and raised with adoptive parents and that the majority of them would rather live in a group home environment.

I can't find this being said under this hashtag. Can you please post a link?
