what is the real reason kids are out up for adoption?
411046
There are a lot of reasons including the parents have died, become very sick, are mentally ill, have given them up, or they feel they would do better in another home.

this is why. when children go to foster care they become a ward of the state. so the state has custody of them. you should be bale to get help if you have legal custody of your grandchildren. go to court and get it all done and then try to get help form the state. and heres a question... why arent' the parents helping....

It isn't weird at all.  Some people just know that they absolutely want kids in their lives and that it is essential to who they are.

If they're stable and able to support a child and provide a good environment, why not?  How could living with two people who love each other and want to love a child be worse than being farmed out to a foster family just looking for the monthly check?

Speaking from growing up in foster homes. Kids that are in foster care tend to come with a lot of emotional baggage.Many have been molested,raped,and just simply abused.We act our anger out on other people because the person that hurt us is not there to let our emotions out on that person for what they have done to us.It would be hard for a child of that nature to have to deal with another situation that they havent been really taught to handle.I'm not against your interest I just think that the childs emotional statis should be viewed first.Maybe adoption on newborn babies would be a better approach so they can grow up and understand and be taught the situatian in both point of views.

Yes. Because of this, most families choose to keep boys in order to keep their family name going. There are a surplus of baby girls needing homes over there.

Yes. In fact I know! I just went to that website to see. Only it's probobly not the way you mean it. I think it's a website for adopting children.

Yes, they should be encouraged.  There are over 1.5 million couples in the United States who would like to adopt a child every year who are not able to adopt a baby in the US because of the shortage of children to adopt in the US.  \n\nForeign adoptions provide two benefits.\n1. They provide the 1.5 million couples who would not be able to get a child with a child.\n2. It provides the child from the foreign country the chance for adoption because they are coming from a country where no one will likely adopt them.  For example, China and Romania have far more orphaned babies than the people in either country want to adopt.  So these children have no hope for adoption unless they are adopted by a foreign couple.\n\nFinally, many foreign adoptions are done in conjunction with providing these children with medical care they cannot receive in their native country.  The US couple is able to provide that medical care to treat a severe disability, and then the child has a loving home and the disability is taken care of.

As of around the year of 1968, all adoption records were sealed. There is no access granted for any reason. The closest information that you could obtain would be non identifying information.

I know a girl who has to female parents through adoption. The only bad thing about it is that she gets teased alot at school because of it. I would have to say it depends where you live. Make sure you do it in a town that is open to the idea.

Adoption is a loving choice. I would adopt if I had the financial means to do so. When a child is conceived by a young woman who thought she was old enough to handle the responsibilities of having sex, who is suddenly faced with the reality of raising a child, it takes a strong woman to admit that she is incapable of giving the child inside her the life it fully deserves. In instances that the government has taken the child from the parent(s) and is now placing the child for adoption, well, these are often cases where the parent(s) should have originally made the choice to place the child for adoption, but were too selfish or just plain blind, and couldn't see that they were unfit to raise a child. I think adopting a child is the most selfless and loving act a person could ever even consider. Raising another person's child is not an easy task to undertake. I would not go into an adoption thinking that life will be easy. You must raise that child to understand the role of birth parents and be willing to support them if they reach a point in their life that they desire to find their birth family. But, yes, I would adopt. In a heartbeat.

Why wouldn't your parents tell you.  If you weren't I would think they would tell you of course not so you very well may be.  They will probably tell you when you are old enough to handle all that entails.  Don't think you could find it on the web especially if it was a closed adoption as most are.

the withholding of information from adoptees was started so that "upstanding" rich citizens could keep their identities a secret.  this kept those "illegitimate" children from being able to claim a piece of their birthright, thus enabling the rich to impregnate the poor without compromising their fortunes or reputation.\n\nf'get that.  Give the people their Right to know where they came from, already!

You are looking to adopt or know someone that is wanting to put a child up for adoption? I am guessing it is the second answer. \nCheck with your hospital or a lawyer or you can contact local churches there are so so so many people that can not have children and would be great parents. \nI would have loved to be able to have a baby and we tried for 8 years. We were blessed finally with a baby in 1995 and we also adopted 4 other children (not babies but I love them just as much as if they had been babies). I wish you all the best.

Alot depends on how old you are...the good thing about all this is when you are able to finally leave unlike their other children you will know how to take care of yourself and others and will have matured into a dependable adult which is a very valuble thing...instead of stress see it as a blessing for the above reasons...their other kids will most likly strugle through life and marry out of need and be unhappy most of their lives.....take this time to find out what it is God is preparing you for and do the best you can while asking God for strength, wisdom and percerverance....Hang in there kid life goes by quickly this is only for a short time....\n\nAs to the adoption part we are all God's adopted children if we accept salvation through Jesus Christ .....if its good enough for God it should be good enough for you and God makes no mistakes about where and when we are born it is all a part of His plan...You were no mistake so run with it and one day the whimpy kids you took care of will look to you for help and wisdom...\n\nOne last thought Christ Himself said that he came to serve not to be served...Sounds to me like you have a Godly life ahead of you.

they have too much money and dont know where to spend it so they think "hey i want a kid", because hey its not like they take care of them anyways right? so they go to africa to be trendy like angelina jolie and adopt a poor innocent child. This child will grow up to be mentally fucked up because...\n1. they were adopted\nand\n2. there adopted parents never spend time with them \nthis will lead the child to feel super unwanted beause their real parents gave them away and the ones that adopted them in an attemp to give them a good home are too busy filming movies to pay them any mind.....

Good for your fathers!!! This should teach some people out there that a child raised by a homosexual couple doesn't have to be a sick person. And that gays aren't sick, either, just because they are gays.\n\nI'm not gay, but I'm close to an adopting family, and I think that is the most beautiful act of love you can perform for a child. If you have a child the "biological" way, that child may have been unwanted, or a miscalculation, or the result of rape. But if you're an adopted child, you know for absolutely sure that you were wanted, looked for, expected and loved from the very beginning. If gays (just as much as straight people) can do that, that shows they're much sensible than many people who keep on nagging them.
