Adoption vs. Foster Parenting

From existing research it is proven that children have mental, physical and development issues from growing up in foster homes. These young adolescents and children do not have the proper care in fostering homes as they would in an "all average American home". These kids are open to new traumatizing experiences not usually seen if one had a stable home, and these events causes permanent damage to one 's health state. Also with the simple fact that there are hundreds of children per foster home, all with different needs, still needing the basic necessities to thrive as a human without getting the proper funding calls for malnutrition children. Now these young kids are not just getting the proper care needed but they are also doing poorly in school and with daily challenges in life generally.

Majority of people in the world have a child or know one, also having system in which lets the wealthy individuals, lawmakers, and their associates have a say in the direction that foster care or the case in which kids have been hurt disappear or the redirects its focus on another aspect of the issue. The kids are not allowed to develop in the best way because they lack attachment of parent figure in their lives, this directs their whole life. the need for makes foster care to be a place in which kids should be secure and loved and are well taken care of, because most people know how it feels to be a parent if not then people should imagen their childhood and how it was or if it should have been better.

Adoption is the act or fact of adopting or being adopted; to legally take another’s child or bring up as one’s own. When a child is adopted, that child moves permanently from one family to another family. In the process, all parental rights are legally transferred to the new parents. This means adoptive parents have the same rights and responsibilities as parents whose children were born to them. It also means adopted children have all the emotional, social, legal, and familial benefits of biological children.

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

One of the main reasons children end up in foster care is due to neglect and abuse which usually results

As a result of this lack of safety, the child will be removed from the parents and placed into the care of someone who is deemed fit to raise the child. This is ultimately to “protect children from abuse and neglect.” (Senate website). However, even though a child is put into the foster care system to keep them safe, there are many situations that prove this to not be true. A young lady named Debbie spoke about how she was sexually abused in one of the several foster homes she was placed into. (Foster care stretched too far) If the agency worked properly, Debbie would have been placed in a safe environment, but instead, she was forced to endure terrible things that she did not deserve. She went into foster care because she was in an unsafe environment, and she should have felt safe in the comfort of her own home. Instead, she was left feeling as though she was nothing, as she describes to the reporter for article Foster care system stretched too

Foster Care isn’t as bad as people make it sound. It is not true that the foster families are there for the money or do not treat the children right. Most foster families are financially sound and foster because of their love for children. Yes there are foster homes that are not the greatest, but there are many homes that want to help the child to succeed. The do this by providing respect to a child that has not seen much previously, feed them when many of the children have been hungry, provide medical care where the children may not have had regular medical care, and provide a safe place to sleep when they may previously have not had that safe place. The Foster Care Program is a positive alternative for many children. The Foster Care System provides a stable backbone to support the child, it helps them to

The foster care system is setup to protect the child and give that child a better life.

In 2014 there were 415,129 children in Foster Care in America. This is a 4% increase in foster care since 2012. Likewise 264,230 children entered foster care which means one child entered care every two minutes. Furthermore even though many foster care homes are very abusive and most children do not graduate high school, foster care can be a good option for people who feel like they have no other choice because foster care takes a child from a bad situation and it allows a child to feel like they are loved and not unwanted.

When considering adoption, couples need to be aware of what happens to children when they are taken out of foster homes, or homes with unfit parents. Couples are improving the child 's life, and even possibly saving their life. There are many effects of adoption on children to consider when thinking of adoption. It is a phenomenal experience when couples have the opportunity to do this for children, but couples need to know all the information before deciding on adoption.

“In the United States, foster care operates on the local level, rather than on the national level” (Harris, 2004).The state’s division of social services and part of the state department of health and human services run the whole foster care service (Harris, 2004). The foster care system is great when they remove children from harm but they need to do better background checks which would cut down on multiple moves, figure out a better system of getting children out of the system and into homes, and they need to figure out how to accommodate out of state parents.

Thanks to several movies there is a scene where babies are dropped off at the doorstep of a foster home. Later found by the foster parent never knowing who or where their family is. In reality, most foster kids actually know their family, but due to certain circumstances cannot take care of the child. As per the text of www.adoptuskids.org another misconception is that “foster parent will receive little to no support from the state”. But in reality foster parents receive a reimbursement to cover the cost of food and clothing, and medical, dental, and counseling services for foster children are covered by Medicaid.

     Adoption is metamorphosing into a radical new process that is both sweeping the nation and changing it. But this process is not an easy one, there are many steps to go through. Through research it is made a lot easier. Adoption is a also a highly visible example of a social institution that has benefits from and been reshaped by both the Internet and the exponential growth of alternative lifestyles, from single to transracial to gay.

Since 1776, the United States of America has had a growing problem with orphans and childhood adoption. Orphanages become overpopulated while foster homes shelter up to 3 children on average. The foster care system has been viewed as positive reinforcement for American homes; yet the point of fostering children is consistently overlooked. Adoption is necessary for orphans, foster children, or children in abusive homes. The act of adopting a child comes with positive benefits and fiscal responsibility, such as government assistance and wiser spending. Children obtain a healthy childhood with a familiar sense of belonging. The drawback of this is the long governmental process of petitioning for adoption. Seeking the birthparents, if they are alive, retrieving consent, being fiscally responsible, and having a safe environment for the child to grow up in are all responsibilities to look forward to when adopting a child. The adoption rate in the United States of America needs to increase dramatically, as there are social benefits, mental health improvements, and economical advantages for families who adopt.
