Is this article symbolic of everything that's wrong near adoption?

I am writing a counter-article outlining the problems with international adoption and am have picked out some key elements of this article to write just about. What's your honest opinion on what this woman has to say?
I don't think this article symbolizes everything that is wrong with adoption at adjectives. I think it symbolizes that adoption is not something to be entered into lightly or accidentally. Many PAP's daydream at great length about their future child and I would be surprised if their reverie included anything less than beautiful perfection (unless they are specifically adopting a special desires child). I think this is normal as I can't imagine any pregnant woman daydreaming anything different.
As an adoptive mother, I also dreamed roughly speaking my beautiful girl who would have a bright smile and adorable personality and we would be 2 peas surrounded by a pod. However, I also knew there was a providence that none of those things would be true. I had done enough research to know that even though her orphanage in China considered her sound, the truth was she could end up being delayed or enjoy an undiagnosed special need. My husband and I had to decide if those unknowns be okay with us because we both believed that our child needed the best from us, so we'd better get strong within ourselves. We established that we would take whatever came.
Some nation forget that the same unknowns come from a biological child. They may not be beautiful or perfect or can play sports or hold any musical talent. They may also have a special need or a disease. But many enunciate they can handle it because they didn't know about it from the beginning. Some PAP's discern that with adoption, they do have a choice and therefore would not consciously choose to parent a child beside a special need.
As distasteful as some feel about this woman's attitude towards adopt a child she deems "imperfect", I am pleased she acknowledged her limitations before taking this little girl from the country of her birth and letting her be raised by relatives that find her wanting. No child deserves to be raised with resentment. Hopefully she was adopt by a family who will love her just the way she is.

What makes me uncomfortable about this woman is that she seem knowledgable about ethical issues, her own limits, etc., and she seems intelligent but still let emotion drive her. I think while she is knowledgable about her ends, she shouln't let her emotions drive her to believe that this child had risks that any child adopt internationally doesn't have. I think it's responsible and reasonable to opt not to take those risks and adopt this child, but I'd be happier if she reached the conclusion that if she couldn't take the risks beside this child then international adoption wasn't for her. I'm also VERY uncomfortable with folks pursuing adoption and infertility treatments at the same time.
This is more than just international adoption.
This is a woman who requests to play the 'as if born to' game...no burfparents in the picture, anytime, anywhere.
I didn't read the entire article...the first few paragraphs..turned me away within disgust.
Good thing she turned down the referral and pursued IVF.
I think the solely unselfish thing she had to say be that she acknowledged she would benefit from another's loss.
She is a PAP who makes others look bad. 'Needing' a baby, hoping she's cute, wanting a child to consistency destined to be with her, I could go on...
Answers: I don't consider she would've made a good mother to that little girl. Honestly.
I also know of this article which is the polar opposite of yours: http://www.rainbowkids.com/ArticleDetail… too bad the India-mother wasn't approaching this one.
I was shocked at how this women carried on about the childs looks! She was tremendously adamant on the child being cute. I am glad she did not adopt this child because the child would have feel nothing but pressure. This article really was offensive. In adjectives honesty I felt this women seemed selfish and merely cared about her own interests. The child is better off near out her.
She seems open and honest to me. She didn't lug the referral of a child she didn't feel she could parent - the right decision in my mind. But even in need IA the girl would most likely have been within an orphanage with failure to thrive - that is the saddest quantity.
India needs to find a way to take better thoroughness of its children. I know there is no easy answer, I live in India. They necessitate to help educate more girls, get rid of remaining preferences for boys, and oblige reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies. They are working on it, but it is really tough. In India something like 40% of children are malnourished. I don't deduce adoption is the biggest problem here, poverty is. Now it is nearly impossible for non-Indians to adopt from India, unless the child is special needs. Babies go first to domestic adoption, second to non-resident indians, and last to non-indians. This is obedient for the children who are adopted, but hard for any non-indians wanting to adopt. Also children stay in orphanages course too long trying to get through the process. Why couldn't this girl have been referred at 12 mo near a better prognosis for her future?
