Adopted Irish children using Facebook to contact parents

Searlit, ''adopted'' means their biological children who have been adopted to new homes not their kids who are ''adoptees''. For example-if my biological mother found me via facebook not if my own parents found me via facebook. Theres a massive difference. I know you dont mean any offence but adopted kids being abused by their parents is pretty much unheard off. Children are abused by their biological parents which is another reasons its so especially despicable. I do some volunteering with kids who have been abused and with the Big Brother Big Sister organisation. The kids who have been abused are abused by their biological family.

The article says that there is a "fear" that abusive parents may contact their adopted children. However the AAI knows about "anecdotal" cases of parents contacting their adopted children by Facebook, without negative "outcomes". I can certainly understand any child not wanting to be contacted by any abuser, biological parent, or not. The point is, there is human trafficking going on in the world! I mean you no offense, ciaradexy. I'm only concerned with protecting people when possible.

I know many adopted people searlit and none of them have been abused. People dont tend to go through all the red tape, interviews and paper work just to get a child to abuse. This article states that the kids who were adopted were abused by their birth parents NOT their adoptive parents. Anyone I know who is adopted were all told from day 1, nothing was hidden from us. We were always told that we were even more special because we were chosen. Where is Portia getting the info from that you just highlighted? Higher incidence of abuse in adoptive homes?? I dont think so. read the article properly.

It's nice to know that some adoptees haven't been traumatized. I think Portia777 is only trying to point out the much higher rates of abuse of children when they are adopted, or put in foster care. This isn't to say that all children who are adopted are abused by their adoptive family, only that the higher incidence of abuse in adoptive homes shouldn't be ignored.

Im adopted and I can assure you it is not traumatic!

@Portia777, your compassion sees through everything. Just wanted to tell you that.

Its hardly a trauma being adopted Portia777! As long as people know from day one then its just normal, its just how it is. Trauma is being abused as a kid.

many agencies operate what they call a "clean break" adoption procedure," How can they believe there is a clean break from their creator mothers?Human nature always shows her truth in the end.

Who gave Gov agents the right to play God? and cut children off from their real families- knowing that a high % of adopted children never recover from the trauma of being separated from their natural mothers. % of adoptees who become murderers etc..all stats are there for people to research. A child is 7 times more likely to be abused by adopters and foster carers than natural parents.

Adoption agencies fear the truth of their business racket coming to light. Children have every right to know their creators as they share the same DNA.
