The worst thing a parent can do to their child is to abandon them. Abandoning a child is probably one of the worst forms of abuse that can affect a child. Not knowing who your real parents are can hurt any child. Also your parents could just be bad people and you HAVE to be taken away from them. This still affects them greatly only being able to see your biological parent for visits every once in a while is not good for the child. Having a parent give up their children or making poor decisions and having their children taken away can hurt them. I don't think some parents think about how much this affects the child.
