*Why, with a growing, vocal, persistent group of adoptive parents, do negative adoption myths continue?
*What can the adoption community do to create a better understanding and awareness of adoption and adoptive families?
*Why do we say "adoption is forever" when disruption can be part of the adoption process? Why is disruption considered a viable option when a child and parents don't "fit?" How do we, the adoption world, explain disruption to the non adoption *world?
*Why is it that some parents think that the attachment and bonding process is the child's responsibility?
*Why is the domestic adoption system so flawed as to not be able to match children and families faster?
*Why do newspapers persist in writing "…their adopted daughter…?"
*When will positive adoption language become common in our everyday language?
*Why isn't there a realization that the current foster care system leads, at minimum, to trauma and grief, and at most, reactive attachment disorder, emotional disorders, and behavioral disorders?
*Why isn't the media better informed about adoption and adoptive families? For example, why did the WB network decide to name an upcoming fall show, "Maybe I Was Adopted?"
*Why do some adoptive parents refuse to acknowledge their child's past? They tell their children that their past is their past and to leave it there. They don't sympathize with the emotions that their child has due to their somewhat complicated life.
*Why don't adoption agencies do a better job of preparing parents? What about parenting classes? Where is the discussion about attachment disorder?
