Talk:Disruption (adoption)

About Reasons for Disruption

Although this should not be the focus of the article it is worth mentioning some of the more unpalatable aspects of disruption/dissolving. One the reasons not clearly spelled out here is simply that there are some people who adopt who really should not have tried to have kids in the first place. Some want kids because they believe it will cure depression in their lives; some want kids even though they are physically or mentally incapable of caring for them; some simply don't know what they want. This is a sad but very real occurrence. And the fact that it does occur points to issues in the screening process, particularly with foreign adoptions.

use of word parents

This article uses the word "parents" inconsistently and confusingly. In places it seems to use the word "parents" alone in contrast with adoptive parents implying that "parents" means biological parents. This is somewhat insulting and definitely confusing. Elsewhere in the article the bare word parents appears to refer to adoptive parents increasing the confusion.

I propose that the word "parents" only be used preceded by "adoptive" or "biological". I would make this change myself but the lack of references makes it difficult to tell what is meant in places in the article. Leopd (talk) 03:36, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
