I would have agreed with you if I had not recently spoken to an old friend of mine whose life was entirely ruined by an adoptive child. He was a demon child...nothing they did helped. She begged the courts to take him when he was 16, but they charged her instead. This is a good woman. By the way, the adopted child was a different race. I now understand how this could happen.
Wow. How awful for her. I know all too well how some courts can make it all worse. I had a colleague or two in my time that certainly shouldn’t have been on the bench.
