This will be very unpopular but I have to say it anyway.
I do not understand why we allow people to adopt children from foreign countries when we have so many kids here that need families.
I especially do not understand why we allow the adoption of special needs foreign children when we have so many special needs kids in need of families here.
There, I have said it.
It is my opinion.
Hi TeaTime,
I wondered the same for a long time until I read a book about an Australian woman opening an orphanage in Cambodia. She states that adoption (sending kids to strangers) causes more harm than good. She is trying to have a fostering system in Cambodia similar to what is in the US.
She says that children that have families and relatives(most do), should be placed with them when the biological parents cannot care for them/ have been restricted from doing so. It's why many western countries have a foster system. Kids are placed in foster care temporarily whilst CPS/ other agencies find a suitable home amongst relatives that can care for the child on a more permanent basis.
