Adoption consists of joy and pain, loss and gain.<\/p>\n
Adopted kids, no matter how they come to us, have been traumatized. Uprooted from everything and everyone they knew. Brought to a different place, with a different culture, sometimes a different language, and different expectations, and placed permanently with a family that they just met. And that\u2019s not including whatever their personal history has been up to that point, and the possible pain from that. \n– Marissa Ruper, Adoptive Parent<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
