Many pregnant women give up their child up for adoption instead of having an abortion. By giving their child up for adoption they are giving a couple the chance to be parents and complete a family. There is not only one type of adoption there is a couple different ones. Some children are adopted out of the foster care system which are children who are taken away from their biological parents and are put in a temporary home. However this can turn out permanently if the foster parents want to adopt the child. Another adoption is the adoption of a child in the united states. The third one is the adoption of a child from a different country, there are thousands of orphaned children in other countries who need families. The last adoption is to adopt a stepchild. Some couples who get married end up having stepchildren this is sometimes when adoption comes in. Now there is another adoption called open adoption... What does this mean? This means that the adoptive parents allow the biological parents to know and have contact with the child and the adoptive parents. However there is a dilemma about adoptive parents being legally bound to give access to the birth parents of their children.Adoptive parents should not be legally bound to give access to the biological parents of their children for the following reasons. Once a parent gives up their child their rights are immediately terminated, it should be the child’s option to seek for their biological parents. This …show more content…
In the law of adoptions when you adopt a child the birth parents no longer have any say over them. Your rights over him/her are relinquished and are given to the adopting parents. Why should adoptive parents be legally bound to give access to their child to the biological parents when the birth parents gave up their rights as a parent? As the birth parent you are voluntarily terminating your parental rights and passing them
Some parents in the world do not discipline their children and do not care what the children. All they care about are them selves. At that point the social workers take the child and put them in foster homes with complete and total strangers. Some companies just put kids with people who do not care about the children just what they get paid. They just let the children go off and do what they want and do not supervise the children’s activities. The social workers should do more thoroughly background checks. There should also be more supervision in foster homes instead of little supervision, and the workers should visit the home and the children more often than they actually do.
For a mother or father to learn that their adopted child, who they believed was an orphan, actually has a caring and loving family is heartbreaking. Adoptive parents feel guilty. The children yearn for their true home. The biological family feels deceived and desire for their child to return. This situation is far too familiar within intercountry adoption cases. Many children are pulled away from home, put into orphanages, and painted as helpless orphans. The actions perpetrated by adoption agencies reflects an underlying network of corruption and exploitation. This is not for the purpose of discouraging international adoption, but to shed light on the horrific practices taking place behind the scenes. Intercountry adoptions are often tangled
There are many forms of adoption available. The most common form is closed adoption, an adoption in which neither birth parent nor child is ever supposed to meet. Adoptions occur best within a non-profit agency setting in which there is accountability of all documents relating to the adoption and in which the agency has the best interests of all parties involved. Most adoption agencies are reliable on providing correct information and do not strive to meet all the interests of the parties involved. Stricter regulation of what information is needed to complete and adoption and what is done with that information is needed for the best interests of both parties involved.
Everyone knows about foster care but do not realize the impact it has on humans ' lives. “More than 400,000 children are placed in foster care annually, with more than 200,000 moving in and out of foster homes in giving year” (Brozak, 1). Foster care changes and benefits people live, from the child to the parent. By foster care you save more lives than just the foster child. Although, foster parenting come with barrage of challenges. It provides many advantages for the people in need. Having foster children in your home is a blessing to the child, foster parents, and birth parents.
Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. Adoption recently has caused a hot-spot debate in Australia . Mr Rudd just argued that we should maintain the policy but I don’t agree with him. I am sure many of you are not satisfied with the current situation because we all clear this is not a great one. Adoption is so important because it is a way to change children’s lives. This debate is not about me and Mr Rudd; it’s about you and these children so you should make the best choice. For too long this policy has been disadvantaged to the children who are adopted or going to be adopted and those foster families. It’s the time to change. Relaxing the regulation of adoption within Australia and from overseas will be one of the liberal party’s aiming next term if I get your support. And let me tell you why choosing to relax adoption’s regulation is stepping up in the right direction to change.
The idea of adoption has been around far longer than the formal legal system of adoption in place today. In the bible, there is a passage detailing the adoption of Ester by her cousin, Mordecai, after the death of her parents. Ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, and Babylonians all had their own systems of adoption. Adoption systems differ from country to country. United States citizens who internationally adopt today allow for the blending of cultures, languages, traditions, and ideals. In contrast, the practice of adult adoption in Japan is a particularly interesting system used quite differently and reflects a lot of traditional Japanese culture itself.
For years there have been an excessive number of children in and out of the foster system. Quite a few children have succeeded; however, other children have not. A few children have looked to drugs, alcohol and violence to cope with what they have gone through and/or what they are currently going through. A number of those children ended up in a juvenile detention center or prison for breaking the law. Foster parents are desperately needed to help these children succeed in life and make it through this terrible time.
Foster Children who are emancipated out of foster care are in danger of becoming homeless because Foster Homes are allowing many unfit parents to adopt, they are emancipated before they can find a job that can support them, and they are not being taught the skills to avoid homelessness.
When a couple or individual decides to adopt a child, they know they are going to take on the responsibility of taking care of someone else’s child. Due to the biological parent(s) who can’t take care of that child anymore, because of either drug abuse, alcohol abuse, abuse to the child or if the parent(s) had died and there is no other care for the child. So that’s why this gives other couples who cannot have kids, the opportunity to promise themselves to be a great parent to a child in need. Though there are some bad things about adoption as well. Like adopting a child from another country of another race, because once that child is adopted into an American family, he or she will be cut off from their culture and never know about their history. Everyone should to know about their culture and history.
