But when people hear about kids being sent back to abusive natural
parents, do they really say/think "It's unfortunate, but on average it's
better"? I doubt many people have that reaction.
As for trans-racial adoption, many people wouldn't want to do it
themselves, but how many actually want to prevent other people from
doing it?

what he cherished and held sacred."
