This article is silly. Adoptive children are not compared to their 'classmates' who stay institutionalized, instead other children who won a genetic lottery, both literally and financially. I'm an adoptive parent and have bio-children. The challenges my adoptive son has to overcome are enormous -- language, nurture, early-stage nutrition, family integration..But I bet he's doing far better on most developmental scales than his compatriots at the orphanage we adopted him from, a place that was so limited in experiences his four year old friends didn't know words like 'cone' or 'arrow'.
