This past year I've been working on an independent project that introduces science technology to a realm few have deemed worth further study. This project proposed to Dario Maestripieri (see also: http://poundpuplegacy.org/node/2225 and Pathological Parenting) focuses on the effects child abuse has on the human brain. Once funded and started, all findings related to this study will be posted and featured here in the PPL pages.
As I was writing a letter to a huge moral supporter for my medical mission, I was struck by a word-play I found most disturbing. I feel the need to discuss and explore the phrase adoption advocates/therapists use to describe the adoptee's breed of family dynamics.
The Adoption Triad is seen as: Birth Mother, Adoptive Mother and child.
Such is the theme sold to those in search and reunion relationships. These emotional milestones take place outside the hospital doors.
Inside a hospital, where I used to work as a RN, the mother-child relationship was always accepted and respected as presented, leaving social services/workers to solve the problems associated with extended care needs and the patient's ability to pay for the doctor-presecribed follow-up care ordered. This was standard practice for each patient's discharge plan. The doctor orders, the nurse follows, and the SW finds and reports back to both medical team members caring for that particular patient.
Is it fair to say then, the working definition of the adoption triad is in fact, an alliance formed in and out of the hospital or birth-center environment where Doctor, Lawyer and social service worker finds more profit for themselves through private adoption services?
Could this explain the huge chunks of missing or falsified documents adoptees and natural mothers are finding case after case, year after year when someone decides it's time to search for their missing family member?
