“It seems many of these kids have no physical or emotional contact and when adopted out have severe problems.”
I’ve watched several programs about this on 20/20 or Dateline over the years. The kids are violent, destroy the house, attempt to kill the parents, etc. The parents don’t know what to do....they constantly live in fear. It is so sad.
I read that this kid told the adoptive parent that he was beaten with a broomstick at the Russian orphanage. Then he told her he would kill her and set the house on fire.
I raised a son who was hyperactive, this was in the 80’s and he nearly killed me with this type of behavior! Fortunately for him he couldn’t be sent to a foreign country...there were days it would have been a blessing. Today he works in IT for a group of hospitals, thank God he finally got his act together, but I will never forget what we went through.
