Maggie may I remind you that you adopted 2 babies from Sri Lanka in the mid 80's - late 80's. These adoptions are known as international adoptions and have unique features in terms of ethnicity and race. Please do not confuse other types of adoption eg domestic closed adoptions from the so-called baby scoop era. If you want to make comparisons you need to compare apples with apples not apples with pears!
It would also help if you could quote from reliable sources using peer reviewed research and studies.
All the research shows maternal depression has an adverse affect on babies/children including the risk of forming an insecure attachment eg disorganised attachment putting the baby/child at risk in adult life of a propensity towards aggression, violence, suicide and filicide. Having adopted SC, June suffered severe depression requiring in-patient psychiatric care and ECT treatment. I would suggest this was not your typical adoptive mother. I doubt you will find any relevant expert anywhere who disagrees but if it makes you happy you keep beating the drum. June didn't suffer depression or any mental illness requiring in-patient psychiatric care when JB was a baby/child and it's this that sets the 2 adoptees apart.
You have no experience of domestic closed adoptions from the so-called baby scoop era.
If you're that interested, and it seems to be the only forum topic that interests you enough to emerge from your 'hidden' status, I would suggest you look at David Brodzinsky's book: The psychology of adoption and skip Nancy Verrier's: The Primal Wound.
There's no evidence JB had the sort of emotional problems you want to pin on him nor that JB/SC were looking for love and were heavy drug users. Why don't you just stick to the facts?!
