” expect them to adjust in the same way that children of divorce have coped”
I dunno, at some point society reaches a tipping point, when you start snatching children from their biological parent(s)............
Good point....under color of law children are being *snatched* for spite.
It is appropriate to rescue children for abuse, neglect and abandonment, but these *custody* battles are being decided on political correctness, not in the best interest of the children. The tipping point you raise, will be decided by those poor children. Watch for law suits.
