It is not surprising then that
after an exhaustive study
of the impact
of the green revolution in five countries, Keith Griffin concluded that the transfer
of capital - intensive, market - oriented technology not only had little positive
effect on
malnutrition, but actually increased the range
of inequality, wiped out many subsistence farmers (usually women in most
of the poorer countries), and plunged them further into destitution.
It is also important that Prospective Adoptive Parents educate themselves regarding issues such as infant / child developments,
effects of orphanage residence on children, grieving issues / symptoms
of children separated from their mothers shortly
after birth,
effects of malnutrition on the development
of infants, etc..
