Adoption and the Concern of Doing It Right

in Hive Learners3 days ago

I don't have intrinsic details on how the adoption system and processes work, but I think that on the general state of it and some known information, I should be able to say some things about what the prompt suggests. But before that, I have to acknowledge the help and benefit that adoption has provided. Not just for the couples who desperately or not, need a child, but also for the children who will get to be part of a family and have a home.

Adoption has helped couples, who have tried to have kids but weren't able to with the opportunity to have one. And this is good, we can agree on that. On the part of the children too, they have the opportunity to be part of a home and family, and finally experience what the fortunate children who have a home and family do. Adoption has made it a win on both sides and salvaged the issue of unwanted or abandoned babies/kids.

There lies a problem though. One that shouldn't be expected in such a setting. Some things tend to happen behind the scenes to manoeuvre around the normal process of adoption, which could end up leaving the child susceptible to abuse and traumatic experience. You would wonder why a couple would adopt an innocent child to traumatise him or her. But there's also the burden of the series of processes to pass through to adopt a child.

The question is, could this be why some go the wrong way to do adoption, and can that be considered in some reasonable amount okay, when they really have good intentions at heart and mean well for the kid(s)? Also, should the processes then be made simpler and “easier?” Well, I don't agree that getting a right or good thing done the wrong way is acceptable. For one, it affects one's good intentions, if so, and sincerity, especially in such a case.

The processes, which could be considered overwhelming are there for a reason. The major reason is for the safety of the child. No child should be handed to people that would end up traumatising them rather than building and nurturing them. This is why the laws and processes are in place as duly stated and provided to protect the interests of the child. I don't think much should be done to such processes to alter them.

There's also the concern of undue processes or a bypass to adoption. It could be with good intentions or not, but I don't think that it should happen in any way. So, partakers in this, especially from the side of those in charge of the children can be apprehended and treated according to the law. As I mentioned, I don't know much about this but I've made my submissions based on the little I've come to know. I hope it makes sense in some way.

Adoption should be bound by the necessary laws and processes that guide and regulate it.


Thank you for reading!

The number one big deal is the safety of the child. So if reducing the rules doesn't improve in the safety and wellbeing of the children, there's absolutely no point reducing anything..

No point doing that when it hampers the safety of the child.
Thank you.

It is necessary for strict rules to guide and regulate adoption, a person could go ahead to adopt a child only to use the child as labour in the house. As much as we have people with good intentions we will always have the ones with bad inf

The strict rules and regulations are necessary to avoid such.

Adoption is not appropriate, it is not safe doing that, its does not looks advisable at all

Why do you think it’s not appropriate, safe, or advisable?

Though, is depends on the child you adopt some might cause you a lot of trouble in the future, and some might be a send from God, those ones will bring you happiness into your home, so it depends on the kind of child you adopt.

Those paperworks for adopt are there for the safety of the child, no child deserves to suffer at a young age.

No child really deserves that.
