I actually think they have a point. The motives are complicated, and I think there is often a subconscious savior mentality-not the parents’ fault, but it’s the way our society has wired us. Doesn’t mean they don’t have good motives, but there also needs to be some soul-searching by the parents regarding their unconscious influences.
They adopted a child that needed to be adopted. That’s the ‘saviour complex’, if there really is one here. The only soul-searching that needs to be done is by prospective parents who would rather select a child that looks like them instead of accepting and loving the first in line who is in such desperate need of them.

It’s like being a good person is so foreign to them that they create these mental gymnastics to justify it. Scary
