We have a couple that we know that just adopted a child.
Yeah? That must be nice! Are they excited about it?
I think they are just relieved at this point - it's such an undertaking to permanently transfer all the rights and responsibilities from the biological parents to the adoptive parents.
Yes I can't imagine. It must be hard for the kids real parents. 
With modern adoption now they are so governed by statues and regulations to protect both sides.  The biological parents of this particular child were drug abusers.
