      Whereas adoption isn't supposed to be temporary...even if it sometimes is. But the the exact same thing can be said of having biological children... It's supposed to be permanent, sometimes it isn't. And I'm not sure there's any real difference, statistically speaking.

      Well there are indeed adopted children who are thought of as lesser children, I suspect that might be countered by the number of people who never actually wanted their biological children, and the fact they can pick their adopted children and not their biological children.

      Now, obviously, in a way adopted families are cheating. The fact you have to do it on purpose, the ability to try before you buy, and if you adopt them old enough you can make sure that they aren't going to conflict with any...family rules like 'don't be gay'.

      I don't even know that it's that A huge chunk of the positive outcome stats for adoption may just be from adoptive parents themselves being gatekept Evaluated for having a criminal record or substance abuse issues or the like, yes, but also just for minimum income/wealth

      I’m wondering how this fits into the overall argument. If there are positive outcomes for adoption, doesn’t that prove adoption is capable of being a better family formation than biological family, regardless of which policies produce the positive outcomes?

      "Better" is a complicated question Adoptive families unambiguously have better stats like going to college or getting a good job when you do an apples to apples comparison (to families from the same community they were adopted out of)

      Because adoption is almost always a net increase in SES, and a substantial one But there are specific issues that come with adoption, which adoptees have frequently talked about and organized around (e.g. attachment disorder)

      Especially in the wake of the so called "baby scoop era" when private infant adoption was normalized as a solution for unwanted pregnancy for white women

      I would never speak for adoptees in claiming all or even most adoptions are good, or that there are no problems. But it seems the claim is that adopting creates a categorically worse family. The “success” metrics don’t tell the whole story, but they’re evidence against that claim

      Replying to @MercuryC0bra @arthur_affect and

      Basically, my question here is whether there’s any way to say one family makeup is categorically better or worse than another. All have strengths and weaknesses, and all are prone to child or domestic abuse. Absent evidence to the contrary, why should we privilege bio families?

      No yeah I agree Everyone talks about the "pendulum", there's some scandal about horrific abuse in a biofamily that CPS kept giving second chances to So people demand a lowered threshold aggressively taking kids away Then there's a horrific adoption scandal, and it swings back
