Michelle M. (ghostchaser) reviewed The Child Catchers: Rescue, Trafficking, and the New Gospel of Adoption on
As an adopted child, welcome to the dark side of adoption.
This book is accurate in the behind the scenes processes.
In fact 90% of the entire process and experience for the child lives in the dark side. Look up adoption trauma, and adopted child syndrome, unaliving rates and abuse rates. Adoption is largely done for the reasons demonstrated in this book and it has no actual thought about the child's true needs but commodifies them instead. Don't think it happens in the USA? Read a book about Georgia Tann, then look for the dozens of others that were like her historically, and currently.
