Adoption statistics may surprise you. According to the U.S. Adoption Network, nearly 199 million Americans have an adopted family member. They claim that over 113,000 children get adopted every year. Adoption can be a big step for a family. More so if the parents already have children of their own. It’s not just about the parents and the adoptee, then.
One teenager shared her story of how she felt neglected by her parents with the Internet. The teen’s parents decided to adopt another teenage girl. While the girl wasn’t against the adoption per se, the way her parents failed to consider her feelings when making preparations for the new family member was not up to par. Wondering whether she was just being too sensitive, she decided to check with other netizens.
