You just replace one bunch of not good things with another bunch of not good things if you have too many children who need you desperately. Yes it is a nice thing on the face of it, but the interaction and the teaching and the attention to each child is way more than the "normal" parent child situation.

It is another complex situation that there is no real answer. I think drugs are a huge part of most broken up homes where children are away from their birth parents.

People who do not really know what they are talking about when it comes to the needs of dependent children often make summary judgements about dependent children that causes them more harm than good. The world is a mess and it isn't caused primarily by race in my opinion. Most of the dire situations are caused by addiction to drugs.

Since SHE is the one who lived it and is the one who adopted the black kids...I think she probably knows of what she speaks.
