Adopted Children

I thought the statistics were were given in class on Thursday were very interesting.  Even though a child's parent(s) may not have treated him or her as they should a child will still love them no matter what.  Birth parents usually want to be found by their birth child, and their child that was given up for adoption usually wants to find them as well.  This just shows a child's resilience and how much they need loving and supporting parents. Parents are a HUGE part of a child's life and throughout their life.  In the future, for working with families who have adopted or are looking to adopt, we must remind them that it is pretty common and normal that a child will eventually want to find his or her birth parents, which points back to the curiosity factor.
