How does this issue just relate to parents that have children the natural way (what you called biological)? I'd say it relates to legal parents of which adoptive parents are certainly included.

I just think you've missed the point with your comment about mothers being more attached because they went through "pregnancy, delivery, hormones, [and] breastfeeding." Adopted children attach to their mothers and fathers just as well as their non-adopted counterparts. So if that's the case, then I don't see how your argument for a stronger mother-child bond is strengthened by the argument that it's natural.

Biology fool,

Clearly, this issue as discussed here relates to biological parents, but I think the issues of attachment and separation are equally crucial for adopted children.

What do you think?

"...the mother-child bond is undeniably biological in the beginning: Think pregnancy, delivery, hormones, breastfeeding."

So then adopted children can stay with their fathers?

Consider that since 1970 the divorce rate has skyricketed. You are really comparing apples and oranges when you use statistics form a time when divorce occured in less than 5% of all marriages. Today 70% of divorces are initiated by women. So a man could get married, be a good dad and have is wife decide she is bored and the courts will remove his children from his care through no fault of his own other than not being the perfect husband and anticipating her evey whim.

Fathers are necessary. 85% of all prison inmates have one thing in common: They had no father in their home growing up. Could it be that the mere daily presence of a father is even more important than that of the mother?

the law is misandrist and kind of proves that feminists lie when they claim they want equal rights. need more proof? The VAWA is terrifyingly misandrist. Absolutley terrifying and often used to deprive a man of the right to see his children based soley on her allegation of violence - absolutely no proof required.
