Foster vs Biological parents

We often read about adopted children trying to trace their biological parents. Does it mean that foster parents can never replace biologicals even if they have brought up a child who was perhaps abandoned ?

i think it depends on the child itself. most the reason why a child is trying to trace their biological parents is because they want to find out the reason why their biological parents gave them up in the first place. however, according to my personal point of view i believe that the one who raised us up and love us and provide us with everything are the true parents regardless of biological connection or not.

Thanx for sharing ur views. I can understand the curiosity angle but wouldnt finding ones biological parents give rise to complications?

well yeah i agree with you finding one's biological parents will lead to complications such as the child will be stuck in between the biological parents and the foster parents and everything else, but sometimes it just passes my comprehension why the child cannot just let go of it and still try to search for their biological parents in spite of being abandoned by their biological parents at the first place. i personally think they should give their foster parents who raise them more importance and higher regards than the biological parents in this case.

I think one should really learn to accept his/her foster parents. (Unless they treated him/her badly) Just think of their effort of really taking good care of you!

i agree with you but sometimes children who were adopted just cannot accept their foster parents as their parents even though their foster parents have treated them really well with all the love and care.

I think this is one of the reasons that make ppl aprehensive about going in for adoption
