What would appear to be one of the worst aspects of such a syndrome is if a couple, particularly of a male gender, decide to adopt and bring up a child as its parents is when the child gets to school and reaches the age of eight or nine, it could well start getting teased and abused, and when it reaches its teens, it would no doubt get bullied by some of the other scholars, making life difficult for it.

There could also be the question of the effect on the rest of its life knowing it has been brought up by one of these couples.
