Adoption
…
Would you ever consider adopting a child/baby? …
1. You could rescue a child. When a good
family adopts a child, he/she receives the
love and support necessary to have a good
childhood. Some adopted children come
from an abusive or neglecting background,
but get to enjoy peace in a loving family
when adopted.
2. In many cases, adoption could enormously
help the biological parents, who in most
cases are physically, financially, or
emotionally unable to raise the child.
3. Adoption allows those who cannot have a
biological child to experience the
completeness and satisfaction that could be
felt in raising children.
4. Many people do not want to go through
pregnancy process, which could be very
tough.
5. Those who cannot take the necessary time
off from work to have a child can still get to
have a child of their own.
6. Adoption is just as joyful as giving birth.
7. It is beneficial for the society. Adopted
children can often have resources and
opportunities that they could not have if they
had not been adopted. This could help them
be successful individuals and useful
members of the society.
YES
1. Parents cannot get to experience the joy of
childbirth.
2. You cannot control what the birth mom eats,
drinks, or does during pregnancy. This is
particularly troublesome when you adopt a
child whose birth mother was an addict or
physically unhealthy.
3. Adoption can be a long and challenging
process.
4. Some children feel they were to blame for
their adoption. As a result, they may have
low self-esteem, or experience depression
or other emotional problems.
5. Adoption is still a taboo in many
conservative societies and the parents who
decide not to adhere to the set societal
belief are often criticized.
6. Some people believe because the child
does not have the same genes as them, it
will be difficult to bring him/her up!
7. The biological mother of the child might
suddenly appear and claim her child
back. This is a common happening wherein
the biological mother feels a sudden urge to
get back to her child.
