I was referring specifically to love and attention from the parent. Parenting.
I was not suggesting that the children grew up without any love or without a sense of responsibility.

Re your Mum's friend - good on her.
But there are real issues with adopting children from overseas orphanages.
If the babies do not receive nuture and comfort in pre-speech years, they can miss out on the ability to bond and socialise, and that cannot be taught or loved away later.

One of the reasons I support contraception and abortion.
