Question by Mulberry3: Should child adoption be genuinely free of charge in the USA?
Laws in the United States forbid the sale of children. Baby selling for instance is a very serious offense. Yet it is not possible in the vast majority of cases to adopt a child in the United States without spending thousands of dollars on a variety of fees and costs, even when children are adopted through public (state) agencies. Many thousands of children in the United States who are available for adoption remain unadopted. Should adoption in the USA be genuinely free of charge?
Question by Unreal!: What are some stigmas surrounding older child adoption?
I’m thinking of starting a nation wide older child adoption initiative, and I’m weighing out some obstacles. I would like your opinion on what some stigmas are and how we can change that. Also your thoughts on the current foster care to adoption process and how we can make this better for the children. Thanks!
There are currently more than 114000 foster children waiting to be adopted in the United States and 30000 children in Canada. The average foster child is nearly 9 years old, and spends about five years in the foster care system. Without the stability and love of a permanent family, these five years can feel like a lifetime. This Father’s Day Weekend (June 16 and 17), however, you can help foster children find good homes. All weekend, participating Wendy’s restaurants across the country will donate a minimum of 50 cents…
The child isn’t even born yet and he is threatening to fight for custody because like 2 of his other children he thinks I am also planning to take away this child. He says he has the best lawyer and resources. He might file in California. He sent me to a different state because he got angry with me & then says I planned to go..I went to mental hosp 4 suicide just mths aft. being w/him & he will use that incident & get witnesses. Plus he has paper trail. I got a little prenatal care in another state…
I was looking into Foster Care, and I was just wondering,
- What are the prerequisites to becoming a Foster Parent?
- Is there an interview, like with adoption? If so, what kinds of questions do they ask?
- Do you get children from your area? Or all over the country?
