What are some Romanian adoption horror stories?

There was a case where a Romanian child was adopted by a family abroad. The family initially seemed nice, but as time passed, the child was isolated from the outside world. The adoptive parents didn't allow the child to go to school or interact with other children. They locked the child in a small room most of the time. It was a nightmare for the child who was deprived of basic rights and a normal childhood.

One common theme is the supernatural. As we saw with Dracula, Strigoi, and the Muma Padurii, these elements are often central to the stories. Vampires, spirits, and undead creatures are typical of the supernatural in Romanian horror.

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 is about children being adopted into families where they face extreme abuse. In some cases, adopted children are treated like servants, made to do all the housework and are physically punished for the slightest mistake.

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.
