Arguments Against Adoption

From the time I was a young girl, I have always thought that I would adopt a child, since being an adopted from South Korea. My mother had always told me about the long process it took for me to be adopted. She had always mentioned that adopting a child was for the best, especially from a different country because it would benefit children who are living

Adoption is the process in which a person takes over the parenting of someone else’s child and permanently transfers all the responsibilities and rights from the biological parent or parents. Giving up a child for adoption is a very difficult decision for a mother to make. Today, many children are being parented by a single parent, a grandparent, a stepparent, foster parent or other parent figure. Making adoption an option is done by providing loving, responsible, and legally permanent parents to a child when their biological parents are not able or will not take care of them.(Carter)

Even though adoption as a process has negative results for adopting children, some people still takes this act to be a good act where children who are deprived of parents still have a

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

`Have you ever wondered what it is like to be in or a part of the adoption process? Most people have different opinions on the whole system. Many think that the process is easy and they don’t actually know what most children go through. If more people understood the problems they face then child welfare wouldn’t be so difficult. Children come from broken or abusive households where treatment is horrible or to the point where they just remove the children.

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.

Adoption in America been ruled by a stigma. For much too long, those who could not have children, unwed mothers, and the children born out of wedlock have been shamed and humiliated. I believe it is time for these supposedly disgraceful ideas to go by the wayside, and we begin hold onto the idea that all families are beautiful things, no matter how they are composed or how they came about. There is no shame in being an infertile couple, an unwed mother, or a child with unwed parents.

My husband and I were foster parents for ten years. It was very rewarding to be able to take children from an unsafe environment and care for them in a safe and nurturing environment. The purpose of the Foster Care System is for parents or even single individuals to gain temporary custody of children whose parents are not able to do so for whatever reason. In the ten years we fostered we were fortunate to have had only nine children. Sadly though, of the nine children eight of them went up for adoption. The reasons that these children did not return to their homes was strictly because of choices that their parents made. My husband adopted our first placement of a sibling group of three. They went up for adoption simply because their birth mother did not want to comply

Choosing to go through an abortion and placing a child up for adoption are quite different matters to analyze. Simply, going through with an abortion is murder by killing a child. Where as, if you were to put a child up for adoption you are giving that child a chance to live. Enduring an abortion may to some people be a convenience; abortion is a quick way of dealing with this problem. Adoption can be seen as a long and grueling process. However, they are both mentally damaging; in both cases the parents, or parent have to give up a child and a life. In some adoption cases some people choose to take back their child; but for others the decision is indefinite. Both situations must be seriously considered and measured.

Adoption is a beautiful system that allows for families to raise a child that could have otherwise been in bad situations. These children are taken in by a family and are given a fresh start. Children can be adopted from birth until they are eighteen years old, but thousands of these children in need are not given the opportunity of adoption because of the extravagant cost. An adoption ranges anywhere from $6,000 to $50,000 and because of this Adopt Together says, “Cost is the number one reason families don’t adopt.” There is a long list of fees that rack up the price that include legal fees, home studies, agency cost, and many more. The extravagant cost of adoption can and should be lowered in order that more families can provide a loving home to children in need.

The history of international adoption comes from the Korean War. After the Korean War, Korean and biracial orphans were placed with American families. It started around the 1950’s. Many times in the past biological mothers would put their child up for adoption because of poverty, illness, or family crisis. However, international adoption has dropped more than 60% in the past decade (“International Adoption Facts: What You Need to Know”). In 2016 there were 5,370 International Adoptions. Then in 2015 American families adopted 5,648 children alone from other countries. In 2014 there were 6,438. In 2013 there were 7,092. In 2012 there were 8,667. In 2011 there were 9,319. In 2010 there were 11,058. As you can see the rate of international adoption is dropping every year by at least 1,000. This is caused because they are making it harder to adopt internationally (“Travel.State.Gov.”). International adoption is a good choice because most of the time the health of the children living in their home countries is not good. Most of the time they are very sick and need to leave their country otherwise they will die. When you go to pick up your child from their country, you can spend some time with your new kid before you leave to bring them to your house. It is also a good choice because you will make a big difference in a kid’s life. In most of the adoptive cases you save the child’s life (“7 Reasons to Adopt a Waiting Child Internationally”). It is also a good choice because if you can not have your own kids, if you adopt internationally you don’t have to struggle or pay for infertility. International adoption is what most American families/people do because American adoption can take over 2-3 years to be approved. Another good thing about international adoption is that you can get financial aid to help with the cost of adoption. Basically the good quality of international adoption is that it is a easier and faster

Adoption is a big decision for birthparents (and adoptive parents). There are so many factors to consider when putting a child up for adoption and also when adopting a child. A majority of the time the birth father isn¡¯t even considered in the decision. Birthparents often begin to second guess their decision of adoption usually after the birth of their child. They get attached instantly and don¡¯t want to give the child up. There are lots of pros and cons and some people don¡¯t even consider when they make comments about adoptive parents and children and open adoption.

When the average American citizen today thinks about the concept of adoption, what images are typically the first that come to mind? Although different people are sure to have equally as different experiences in this field, one picture continues to remain the most commonly-accepted. This image consists of a man and a woman who cannot have children of their own, a newborn baby, and a single mother who will certainly be unable to provide for the infant due to her young age, lack of financial support, or another variety of unfortunate circumstances. Making the decision to adopt a child is without a doubt one of the best options available for couples who are unable to conceive, but by thinking of adoption as nothing more than the fallback

Adoption is when a child is removed from their home and are now under protection of another family. They can be related or unrelated to the child. It can be great for children, as they can live a better life than they would have had with their birth parents. The children may have endured abuse or neglect and need to get out of the situation, or the parents could have not thought that they were able to take care of the child. Either way, adoption is made to be in the best interest of the child. They will be given loving and dependable parents to give them an overall better life.

We can fix this problem by adopting children out of foster care system. This solution works because we can save these children from abusive families, and give them a better life. By adopting children some may succeed in life with and adoptive, caring, and loving family. In 2002, Bill Clinton, called for doubling in the number of children to be adopted out of foster care. Him and his local leaders have initiated to place a new emphasis on children safety welfare, and to make adoption a higher priority. For the parents that can’t grow baby’s they would make great parents. That’s why adoption is a good choice for them it benefits them and the child as well. It benefits all people because you are helping a kid in need of a family, and it also benefits the parents that can’t grow babies as well. It will help them parents by bringing them happiness in their life, and also knowing that they saved a child from an abusive family.
