What are some foreign adoption horror stories?

Sure. There are cases where the adoption agencies are corrupt. They mislead the adoptive parents about the child's medical history or background. As a result, the adoptive parents are unprepared to deal with issues like serious health problems or psychological traumas that the child may have. For example, a child might have been exposed to violence in their birth country, and the adoptive parents find it difficult to handle the child's resulting behavioral problems.

One horror story is about children being adopted and then facing neglect. Some adopters promised a good life but failed to provide proper care, leaving the children in bad living conditions. Another case involved adoptees being used for labor rather than being treated as family members. It's truly sad that these children, who hoped for a new start, ended up in such difficult situations.

One horror story could be a situation where the adopted child had severe, undisclosed mental health issues. The adoptive family, not being fully informed, was ill - equipped to handle it. For example, the child might have extreme mood swings and violent outbursts that put the family in constant fear and disrupted their daily lives.

One horror story could be cases where children were adopted through illegal channels. Some unethical middlemen might deceive both the biological parents and the adoptive ones for financial gain. This led to children being placed in inappropriate or even dangerous environments.

There might be cases where the cultural adaptation goes horribly wrong. In Kazakhstan, there are unique cultural aspects. Adopting families might not be well - prepared to handle these. For instance, a child may feel isolated due to the loss of their original cultural environment and not being fully integrated into the new family's culture. This can lead to emotional distress for the child and problems within the family unit.

There have been reports of some children being adopted from China having hidden health issues that were not fully disclosed before the adoption. For example, a family might adopt a child thinking they have a minor ailment, but later find out it's a much more serious and costly condition to manage. This can put a huge financial and emotional strain on the family.

One horror story could be about children being placed in homes where they faced severe abuse. In some cases, adopted Bulgarian children were made to work like slaves, with little food or proper care. They were often isolated from the outside world and had no means to seek help.

There have been cases where in the midst of a gay adoption, the biological family of the child discovers the adoptive parents are gay and tries to interfere. For example, they might create legal hurdles or try to influence the child against the new family. This can lead to a very difficult situation for the gay couple and the child, as the child is caught in the middle of a conflict not of their own making.

One horror story is when children are adopted from developing countries and end up in situations of abuse in their new homes. Some adoptees have reported being physically and emotionally mistreated by their adoptive parents who had presented themselves as loving during the adoption process.

One historical adoption horror story is the case of the Tennessee Children's Home Society in the early to mid - 1900s. Georgia Tann, who ran it, was involved in illegal adoptions. She kidnapped children from poor families, often lying to the parents about the purpose. Then she sold the children to wealthy families at high prices. Many families were torn apart, and children were placed in situations where they might not have been well - cared - for, all for the profit of this corrupt operation.
