ADOPTION
Adoption is the process by which people take a child who was not born to them
and raise him or her as a member of their family. By law, adopted child has all the legal
rights of the member of the family that raises him or her. A foster child does not. Parents
place their children up for adoption for many reasons. Some parents feel they cannot
adequately care for their off springs because of health or economic condition. Some
others, especially unwed parent, may not want to raise a child
But there are couples who cannot have children of their own. Adoption gives
them opportunity to raise a family. They can get one from an adoption agency if they
have all the requirements asked. State laws prohibit adoption agencies from revealing the
identity of the natural parents to the adoptive parents. These laws also forbid agencies
from disclosing the identity of the adoptive parents to the natural parents’ names. On the
contrary, many adopted people worked to change the laws. They argue that people have
a right to know their identity. They said that keeping secret their adoptions records
violate their right.
On the other hand, many people feel adoption records should be keep secret. If
not, natural parent might change their minds years later and take the child away from the
parents who raised him or her. Some experts advise that a child should know of the
adoptions by the age of 6 or 7. Surveys have shown that most do that children develop
normally.
