Wow. I think you're overthinking this for sure. I mean, I understand that there are problems with adoption, and that it's common for people to kind of downplay those problems/that a lot of people don't have any awareness whatsoever of them. The general view of adoption in western society seems to be that it's a great thing and that it's a happily-ever-after situation, and I know that isn't always the case. But, like, this seems like a bit of an overreaction. How do you think the game should handle it instead? I just think you're asking too much of a lighthearted video game. Do you think Sims who are adopted should grow up to have negative moodlets about missing their biological family? Should they have a special interaction to yell at their parents that they're not their real mom?? I do think we should listen to adoptees who are unhappy with what happened to them, but vilifying adoption also doesn't seem like the answer. In a perfect world we could make every birth parent capable and willing to be a parent, but we don't live in that perfect world. In my career I've seen so many kids whose bio parents get to abuse and neglect them for the first few years of their lives, and then by the time they're taken away, they're frankly damaged, and some of them NEVER end up being normal. Sometimes these children are fucked up for life because bio mom and bio dad simply didn't give a fuck about them. Making sure kids are with their bio parents NO MATTER WHAT is simply not the answer.
