With a little practice you are able to identify the mother cows who really do a good job of "mothering". Those mother cows, we keep to raise more calves. The mother cows who don't seem to care one way or another (wander away from their calves, don't protect them, don't clean them, etc.) we sell at the auction as soon as we can. Like some of the posters mentioned here, sharing the same DNA with ones human children may not always prove good motherhood either. I've seen small children adopt a dog or cat and then as soon as the "honeymoon" is over, the animals almost fends for itself. I've seen horses in small corrals standing in ankle deep "mud", all their ribs showing, dull coat, heads always hanging down. In many cases, reality sucks.

I doubt much of the backlash is against adoption as it is generally practiced by ordinary people.

I am originally from Romania, and have just finished a 4 year project…please check out my adoption educational materials, and feel free to comment and make suggestions. You can certainly embed the links and recommend my work if you would like to… Helping the orphans find permanent loving homes is a very important charitable activity! If you would like to organize an international adoption seminar in your area, I would be more than glad to come to your area to do a full presentation on the topic!
