very trendy in several local churches right now to adopt Ukraine teenagers.
I would no more bring an unknown orphanage raised teenager into my home with my own children than I would put a bomb in the middle of my family.
We have some friends with five Ukrainian adopted kids. Two are special needs, one of those is pretty severe with Downs Syndrome. The other has some physical issues but nothing mental. They knew that going in.
The other three are teenage siblings. The oldest has had some challenges and is now living on her own. The other two, as far as I know have adjusted perfectly well. The last time I saw them, they were getting very English fluent and loving their new lives.
“an unknown orphanage raised teenager into my home”
I get what you mean. However, the shooter was adopted as an infant. It hasn’t been confirmed he was adopted internationally. If he was adopted internationally from Russia or from an Eastern bloc country, the chances are pretty high he was a Fetal Alcohol Syndrome baby. (Of course, even if he was adopted domestically, he may have been a FAS baby.)
