    Can you imagine the life Nick would have had if he remained in the Ukrainian nursery? Many orphanages are underfunded and the children don't get the proper care or preparation for adulthood. He probably would have had absolutely nothing. Instead he was hand the world by loving parents. Their fortune would have eventually been his, but he was so greedy and lazy he couldn't wait. Poor Corey, I feel so very sorry for her. Imagine knowing your son had your husband killed and tried to have you killed? I can't even being to imagine the hell she lives in.

      interesting. But in addition, im under the impression that orphanages in general, but ones from developing and under-developed countries are rife with infants, toddlers, and children that are seriously neglected, be it physical, mental, and/or spiritual.
      The end result is a toddler or child that is stunted. Lacks the ability to be empathic, thus is always distant when it comes to others, including adoptive parents.
      not necessarily a psychopath, nor sociopath, but somewhere along the lines of a person thats simply indifferent in a non-ability to attach/bond with others in a natural and normal way (as in, learn toLove)

    • @Sanakudou
      @Sanakudou 4 месяца назад +25

      We unfortunately acquired a plethora of psychological research on the impacts of child neglect through the Romanian orphanage neglect crisis. Even after the world found out about all these neglected children and a massive adoption effort took place, all those children had abnormal psychological developments that no amount of love from their new families could remedy.
      Neglect within the first seven years of life irreversibly limits the development of a person’s empathy and will heavily contribute to the development of many personality disorders. As tragic as it is, there’s serious risks that come with adopting children from orphanages where early-life neglect may have been experienced.

      Pregnancy and the first year of life is incredibly important in terms of a person's brain development.
