Dotsie,
I saw a news clip where the singer, Madonna, was trying to adopt another child, and other couples were following her lead. Bio mom leaves innate footprints on a child's personality. But when an adoptee mature's, they come to understand bio mom's humanness and adoptive mom's giving via her compassionate heart. It takes a while for kids to get over abandonment, regardless of circumstances. That's a sore spot, which is hard to heal. IMO!
