It is terrible. My parents were foster parents to two girls at different times. One was from a foreign country and had been previously adopted. A history of abuse and fetal alcohol syndrome meant lots of behavioral issues. We ended up all getting locks on our bedroom doors. It was extremely stressful and gives me some sympathy for the family that originally adopted her. Goes without saying that the kids get worst part of the deal. In those two cases they both ended up in group homes. The article mentions the foreign agency being honest but in this case the adoptive parents were lied to about the child’s condition

Foreign adoption agencies are usually a nice income for poor countries. Turns out the "orphan" has parents who are still very much alive.

Parents want cute babies and toddlers to adopt not 10 year old local kids from abusive homes.
