Biological or Nonbiological parents
Every ten seconds a report of child abuse is made, this is a frightening thing to think about. About 5 children die daily from abuse and more are damaged mentally. Would you want a child to live in the same house as an abusive person? This is a question you should ask before you judge adopted kids.
INTRODUCTION
Should a child always be with their biological parents or live with an adopted family? It always depends on the situation they are in at home. If they are in a harmful environment, finding a better family for the child should be put into consideration. NonBiological parents are looking for a kid of their own who they can love and care for; this means that there is a very low chance of abuse or mistreatment
