The introduction of openness into the process of adoption offers new opportunities for children in need of a parent or parents and prospective parents wishing to create or expand their families.

In 2014, the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System reported that there were 415,129 children in foster care. They were taken away when their families were in crisis or they couldn’t be cared for. Children are happy and carefree but the young child pictured above is disheveled. Her hair looks unkempt, as if not brushed for days. Redness under her eyes and the cuts on her lips disrupt the once perfect porcelain skin. Her eyes appear glossy and the single tear seems as if she’s trying to not show her pain. The picture as a whole resembles a mug shot. Unfortunately many children also resemble her physical condition. Social workers are usually working twice the amount of cases recommended and therefore overlook

Approximately five million Americans alive today are adoptees. Having the opportunity to adopt has given many families the chance to have a family on their own that they may not have been able to have before. Although it benefits the parents who are adopting it also helps the birth mother tremendously. There are several ways to adopt. Parents who want to adopt should choose the best option for them while birth mothers should be more educated so they can be sure to make the best decision for herself and her child.

One year later, a very tragic day happened. I have heard the talk about the word “adoption” and that “there’s too many dogs.” I ran towards Koda and hugged his paw. “What’s the matter?” asked Koda. “Dad, whats adoption?” I asked. “Adoption is a state of someone legally takes someone or something and brings it up as one’s own.” “What do you mean?” I asked. “It’s time for your brothers and sisters to be adopted,” said Koda, “but don’t worry, Kingsay has a home here and so do you.” Then, my owner came and picked up Koda and Koko and took them to the car. “Dad!!” I yelled. “Mom!!” yelled Kingsay. “Kido, don’t worry about me,” said Koda, “just be brave and take care of your brother.” “Kingsay, I will always love you,” said Koko, “take care of yourself

Adoption is the action or fact of being adopted. International adoption is a type of adoption in which an individual or couple becomes the legal and permanent parent(s) of a child who is a native of a different country. The United States has the most domestic and international adoptions each year. Most adoptions to the United States come from China, Ethiopia, and Ukraine (Top 3 Countries). International adoption, especially through Afghanistan, is a long and complicated process.

During the pre-adoption process, many are thrilled to be moving towards their ultimate goal of adopting a child, but alongside the thrill is another common emotional reaction to the process: anxiety. It’s completely normal to feel anxious while navigating the adoption process. Once the paperwork is completed and the adoption is finalized, you’ll finally have the child under your care. Everything will work out fine. You and the child will quickly develop an amazing, loving and trusting relationship. It’s the expectations many hang all their hopes on. The problem is that many expect to fulfill all these expectations without any type of timeline provided for the time it will take to get there once the adoption is complete.

Recently, a Utah judge ordered a child be removed from their same sex foster parents. The child has lived with the family for three months as a foster child. The parents desire to adopt the one-year-old girl, but must get approval from the courts. Judge Schott Johansen ruled against the couple, citing that the child should be in a “traditional home” (2015). Utah Division of Child and Family Services made the initial decision to place the child in the household, after the couple passed several requirements, including home inspections. The agency believes the home is suitable for the child; therefore disagree with the judge’s ruling. In addition, the couple has support from the child’s biological mother. The foster parents are waiting for

"They may not have my eyes, they may not have my smile, but they have all my heart" (Chris McKinney). May 28, 1996 was the day the doctors labeled me as a “crack baby”. Six weeks in the hospital I was later placed in a foster care. For eight years, I lived in a homes of total strangers. Lack of motivation, depression, and confusion, have all been things children like me have faced. Every adoption has its own story and one thing I learned is it's a grand adventure. Adoption has a positive effect on society because it becomes a possible solution to abortion, gives children and teens a chance to have a good life, and allows couples who can not have kids to finally become parents.

My sister Katie feels like she “doesn’t belong” with my family. As kids, we used to play dress up with one another and Katie would always ask my mom to make her have blonde hair just as I did. My mom would then put a yellow towel on her head so that she could pretend she did. As a child I could not understand why Katie would want to do such a silly thing to try and look as I did. In my eyes we were both the same and nothing else mattered. As we got older, it became more apparent to me how different we really were. I am Caucasian and she is Native American. I have blonde hair and blue eyes while she has black hair and brown eyes. Not only did we look very different but our personalities differed as well. Katie was always much more fussy

Adoption Information Services cannot be considered as an agency; however they can be treated as adoption consultants. The reviews regarding these services are very good and many people say that the most priceless thing is that they provide the complete list of attorneys and agencies they suggest. These agencies provide help according to the profile and can guide you through the entire process. These adoption information services try to approach the families which can be quickly matched and can register with multiple attorneys and agencies which are charging much lower so that one can maximize their exposures to birthmothers. Adoption support services advice the persons to work or get attached with minimum four to five attorneys or agencies.
