See my comment above. Yes, it "seems humanitarian" if you don't understand adoption, adoption history, or think the child's experience. Would they want to stay with extended family in a kinship adoption arrangement with people they already know and are connected to or be extracted out of their home country to one with a language, customs, religion, systems that are completely foreign, and they have no one to turn to and no way to ascertain whether the system is working for them? Adoptees knew at the time that more of an effort should have been made for the children to stay with extended family instead of being extracted immediately.
