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.

I am going to get petty and small here, but I see people adopting disabled and some times severely disabled children from other countries, to be brought to the US to be placed on SS and welfare, and Medicare and Medicaid, sometimes needing group homes, special schooling, one to one care, and I think: Well you have done something nice and heroic, and other Americans will be enslaved through taxes to support your heroic choices.
There are some people who float the whole boat but they are far and between.
Yea. You’re acting petty and small.
Ss and Welfare ain’t happening. A stable loving family instead of being locked in a warehouse until they die is the case here.
These children would have most likely been dead by now had not my friends adopted. They certainly can’t help them all, but they can help a couple. Sick, cold attitudes like yours are shameful.
An adopted child is legally considered to have the full rights of a birth child, so if they want to send her to school, so be it.
