It's dirty work, but somebody's gotta do it.

When I was a lot younger, I worked as a peer counselor for a treatment program. We had a lot of kids who had either been adopted or had been in the system at a really young age. They all had attachment issues. I've also met a huge amount of adopted people that have issues because they feel like they were unwanted in the first place and so on. It's really sad what a lot of adoptions actually put people through, and I really don't think that most people see that side or choose to acknowledge it.
