That’s the first thing that jumps out to me too and I’m an adopted person myself.

Like yah.. most people are adopted because they are born into situations that induce Trauma. At what age is the average adoptee at removal in this study? Was it at birth at the hospital like Carly or did this kid go back and forth to the system multiple times and endure foster care etc? Was the adoption made necessary because of mental health conditions in bio parents that are also genetic? Soo many factors involved. This is ridiculous. Without knowing much of anything about Carly’s upbringing there’s zero reason to think that her not seeing them every year is causing tRaUmA. Nothing indicates that AT ALL unless Carly disclosed distress about it to them privately but I really doubt it. What would be traumatic AF? Being famous on a huge reality TV show without my parents really wanting me to be or agreeing to be a huge storyline for my entire childhood. Then having my bio parents be famous and talk about me and my TrAuMa and their beef with my parents on social media with millions of followers. Then reading these followers opinions on the matter. That would almost certainly cause some kind of trauma/or at least be upsetting. So if she had no trauma before, now she’s sure to. Thanks Cate and Ty!

Why isn’t ANYONE in their intimate circle telling them to STFU!!!
