Adopting a child is serious business. You are not just committing to your self you are commiting to another human being.Did you know that even after taking care of a child for 16 years an adoptive parent is allowed to give them up? To be once again in the system?
Adoption is creating billions of dollars each year. Where is that money going too? Shouldn’t it be going to the children who are suffering.
There are over 20,000 children a year adopted out to new families, and international adoptions exceed over 200,000 per year! These numbers are incredible and to some they are just numbers! What happens to the children.
What says that these people are more qualified to take care of the children. Over 80% of couples that are looking to adopt say it is because of infertility. Who are we to say they are fit to have a child, or that they should.
Most people who adopt start out with good intentions however when the child gets to be too much what then? How many children are thrown back into the system because they say you can!
Adopting a child is a gift not property you can’t get a refund when you are not satified. Did you know that in a year over 114,000 children wait in foster care for an adoptive parent?
Know one gives the child the right to know where they came from or make the decision they don’t want to be bothered with their family. Most are taken away and don’t even realize they have another family.
Where is this right? We say we do this for the children yet the children are not involved in solving the problem. Nor is their opinion heard. Many children are taken for reasons that can be worked out.
Adoption is Big Business…and Who should stand in the way of their Multi-Billion dollar industry!
” … international adoptions exceed over 200,000 per year! These numbers are incredible and to some they are just numbers! What happens to the children.”
What happens to the children that aren’t adopted? Child prostitution is a likely consequence, as are other forms of slavery, death before the age of five, institutional abuse and neglect …
The potential is endless, and that is tragic.
There are between 50 and 200 MILLION orphans in the world, and very thankfully for a few adoption is an option.
