I read this last week. So devastating. I’m really glad the adoptive parents are bringing this to suit. This needs to be talked about so it can be stopped.
This is so terrible. So glad you posted it. Knowledge and information makes so much difference.
This is definitely something that needs to be talked about and people need to be more aware of! I am so sad for this young boy who has no control over his identity, because society has now made him into what they wanted him to be. 😦
