Re: Week Six; September 30- October 6, 2013; Rolondo Rodriguez
Hello everyone, welcome to week six. As it relates to International Adoption Services most families are clueless as it relates to the extensive work involved when adopting and raising children that have been assigned to this agency. In fact, it has been noted a lot of families feel hopeless as it relates to providing for the children, so they result to tactics which encompasses visiting an underground chat room to give their children away to strangers and in most cases child predators.
From my perspective, I believe American families should not be adopting International children without a background check. Additionally, it has been noted orphans like Nora Gateley are treated harshly e.g. “digging their own graves”.
Do you believe in proposing and implementing laws which would be stricter when it pertains to adopting children? Should the American government prohibit citizens from adopting children that are not from our particular country?

I think you are right Ms. Harrell. They should have a background check on this adoption system before they move foward on it. Yes the laws should be more stricte about that topic. For the secound question i have to debate about it, because if a citizen wants to adoped a child they can. What if that family cant make there own baby's but they want a family. That's were adoptions comes in to place.
ReplyDeleteAlan I think you need to reread the second question. Because it sounds to me like your saying that if a family wants to adopt a child they should be allowed to. But that's not what the question is refering to. It's not debating weather a family should be able adopt a child, but if they should be allowed to adopt out of their country. Because of the tragedies that have happen to the children when they are adopted from a diffrent country.
DeleteIn my point of view a person should be able to adopt any child in need of a parent. Yes they should have a background check on the adult, and a psychiatric test to see if the new adult does not plan to do any wrong with the child/ children
DeleteAlan thanks for the response; however, I did note that adoption laws should be abolished. I am noting that International Adoption should be repeal or revised due to the aforementioned incidents such as children digging their own grave as well as giving the children to child predators that will commit a number of sexual assaults against them. Please read the information below concerning International Adoption; worldwide.

I understand that sometimes children fall victim to sexual predertors and just plain horrible people. But I don't think international adoptions should be repealed. Because I think that with good extensive background checks the children could be protected from this kinds of situations. Without depriveing them from a good potential family that may not be necessarly from the same country.
DeleteInternational adoptions should be repeal beacause there is alot of children without a home in the U.S. and yet people do nothing to help them out. By "people" i do not mean all people; some do help and take them out of bad orphanage. Some ophanage do not have good living environments and treat the orphans even worse.
DeleteThere should defenetly be sricter laws and extensive background checks when it comes to adoptions. Because the orpahned children shouldn'be exposed to sexual predetors who might adot them. And as well from sick sycopaths who get them to inflict torture upon them. Haveing said that, I don't think there should be restrictions on where an American family should adopt children from. Because although there are plenty of orphaned children in America they atleast have the goverment to provide the necessary needs for their survival. While other children around the world who live in a country where there goverment is corupt may not be given the things they need. So when a American family does adopt them they'd be blessed with the help they need.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you in letting American families adopt any child in need in the world. Also I agree that the laws should be strict about who exactly is going to adopt the child and they should go through a psychiatric test to see if they are mentally well and do not mean to do any wrong. Also check to see if the adults have enough resources to take care of another living being.
DeleteJuanita and Cesar, I agree with you too about the that Laws should be stricter on who can adopt a child. I also agree that every adult who is looking for a child to start a family should go through psychiatric test and see if they can pass the mentally test as well.
DeleteSteven Reyes #104
I agree with you Juanita, there should be stricter laws and extensive background checks when it comes to adoptions. Your right they shouldn't be exposed to those people who mean harm to innocent children. But I disagree with the fact that you said there should not be restrictions on American family no matter what there could still be those psychopaths who mean harm to children.
DeleteI completely agree with you. The children shouldn’t be ending up in houses with sexual predators. They should be in a house with complete protection instead of danger. That is why the people that try to adopt the orphans should have an extreme background check. America should be able to have orphans from other countries. It would be better if they came here where there is enough food and supplies to maintain them than them dying in another poor country.
DeleteI believe that the laws for adopting children should be stricter more on who is the adult that is adopting. The adult should have a clean record and proof that he or she have enough resources to take care of a child. I do not believe that there should be any laws against adopting a child from another country. The child does not have any fault in where he or she was raised. They also do not have any fault in who raised him prior to the new adults that are going to adopt the child.
ReplyDeleteTrue that's a good way of making things safer for the children. The background check will be a good way to identify who a child is given to. You are right children from different countries should have the same rights as children here.
DeleteI agree, some adults are not fit to raise children. Most of the time it isnt their fault e.g if they were laid off, but they still are not equipped with necessary resources that are needed to raise children. That's why the background checks are so imporant, because they almost insures if not increases the saftey of the child.
DeleteThat is to be a good post Cesar. Although don't you think "there should be any laws against adopting a child from another country" would you agree that there must be some law enforcement when it relates to adopting a child from another country? Because there are many cases of baby trafficing, where children are forcefully being removed from their bioclocial parents and their country of origin to be sold into adoptive agencies. Paper work and legal documents are false and thats how they succeed with this unlawful and unmoral action. I say there shouldn't be laws against adopting children from another country but the laws MUST be stricter or maybe just enforced.
DeleteI agreed with you cesar i think adoption laws should be more stricter on whoes adopting the child.No one knows if that adult has the patients to deal with the child. People that are going to adopt shoulld really be checked.
DeleteAgreeing with you Cesar, laws should be stricter. As well as checking the person or people adopting the child has any good resources to be raising the child as to seeing the person is accountable for that.
DeleteI agree that the people adopting should get a background check before adopting a child. Also the fact that it doesn't matter where the child is from or the ethnicity of the child. Everyone should receive the same rights.
DeleteI strongly agree with you Cesar. It's not the child's fault from where he or she comes from. I strongly believe they should be doing background checks to those who are adopting children. Everyone wants there best for their child. The children deserve to be adopted by parents who will care and love their child. They also desire a loving home and safe environment. In this case the parents should not have a bad record and if necessary they should be checked on once in a while to make sure everything is okay.
DeleteI agree with you, a child does not have any fault of were they were raised. China for instance ,prohibits a couple from having a girl and they must pay a fine to keep the child . In most cases the child is left to perish alone in the streets. Americans are adopting those children so they do not face hunger or mistreatment.
DeleteI agree any family that does decide to adopt a child from another country should be required to have a background check. I Say so because some parents are careless when it comes to some children and also you never know if they're capable of harming the child or not
DeleteI agree with you Cesar. The government should be checking the adult’s records to see if they are able to take care of the child. The children shouldn’t be living in a home where he/she gets mistreated or abused daily. The adults who are willing to adopt an orphan should be able to choose what the child’s race or ethnicity. Therefore, there shouldn’t be any law against adopting a child from another county. It doesn’t matter where they’re from as long as they get treated correctly.
DeleteI totally agree with Yazmin . When she says the government should do background checks on the parents that want to adopt these children . Who knows if there fit to be parents have a steady job , roof over there head , and the financial ability to take care of a child . No kid should be with people who can't take care if them or even treat the child with respect , kindness , and love . So yes the government should do background checks on adults that want to adopt kids.
DeleteI agree Cesar, the adult is responsible for the child they are adopting so therefore the should always have a background check done. Not only that but the adult should be able to provide with the emotional and financial support needed to raise any child weather they are adopted or not.
DeleteI strongly believe that the law should be as strict as possible on who wants to adopt a child , Because not everyone adopts a child for good or to bring happiness to each other , Some people may adopt them to sell them or get money out of them in any way they can , Bt as to people from other countries why not they can also adopt if they desire , but of course first having a complete background check .
ReplyDeleteExactly no one knows the intentions of others and what their morals are.The background checks are a good way to identify someone. It may be difficult to some one that committed a crime and wants to settle down and have a family. As far as adopting from another country it all depends on the adoption agency.
DeleteI agree, Angelica. Law should be more strict for these reasons. It really is a privlidge to have children and it should not be so easy to obtain a child.
DeleteI Agree there should be a list of requirments met before any child is adopted by this agency. No child should be rejected a better home .but also shouldnt be put through auctions and sold off. Thats why these requirments should be enforced.
DeleteI strongly agree with you. Not everyone adopts children to give them the happiness they desire or wish for. This is why I believe they should do background checks to those who adopt children. Everyone wants children to be in a safe environment surrounded by loved ones.
DeleteI strongly agree with you Angelica, Not everyone adopts children to give them the happiness.Some people may adopt them to sell them or get money out of them in any way they can, many people in the US only adopt children to get money to spend on them selfs. And not think twice about the child the adopted.
DeleteI agree with you Angelica. There are sick people out there and stricter laws when it comes to adoption in order to protect these poor children. Background checks that are done correctly and thoroughly would save poor children from predators.
DeleteI do believe that making adoptions laws more strict will benefit the children,but I also believe that many people wont want to go to the trouble and would use the underground chat rooms even more. The children need a loving home and loving parents that will give them what they want. Many people say they can handle taking care but fall short and end up ether giving them away or neglecting them. I hope the government knows whats best for this children. As for adopting form across the world it should be done why would other children not get the right to have a home.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Brayan, but if the future parents have a problem subjecting to these new found guildlines they should not be allowed to be parents in the first place. Being a parent means that you have to do what is best for the child. Also if you really care abouth the child and you want to give him/her a good home then you should want to make sure that your home is the best home for them. Although, I do not believe that any form of adoption should not be done in any other country other than the one the child was born in. Knowing who you are and where you came from is the most important thing in the world. Simply because if you do not know where you came from, how can you possibly know where you are going.
DeleteI definitely agree with you. These children have pretty much have been through enough and then to being adopted thinking that they are going to have a much better life then what they've had before to becoming people's sex slaves and having their lives turnt up side down. Everyone who tries to adopt should have some kind of strict background check and all.
DeleteI agree with you. What you you said is so true. Children being treated different is one of the main reason why theres a higher rate of suicide nowadays.
DeleteBryan I believe that even though it should be a more strict, longer, and more stressful process, it's only done to prevent child abuse and neglect. If the person's real interest is to care and love the child, they shouldn't have a problem with the process. Basically what the government wants is to give children a home but they are too focused on that idea that they let parents slack off too much. The matter if adopting children from other countries has to do with illegal actions. Some children are being removed from their loving biological parents just to be inputted in the adoptive system. So the question of this blog is if the laws should be more strict abd enforced in order to prevent unlawful actions.
DeleteI agree with Kharim. If these parents really want to change the lives of these children then they would do anything even if it is a tedious process. The children here in America and all over the world deserve a better life as well as the opportunities we have here in the U.S., which ties into the subject of having the families background checked. It's crucial to know where these families come from and what they do. Government should make sure that they can afford to take care of the child and willing enough to.
DeleteI agree with you in some aspects but the fact that most people aren't ready for kids. If they want too adopt then why not the kids from our country.Laws should be stricter since it would save a child from being a victim of this.
DeleteI disagree. I don't understand why making adoption laws stricter would encourage people to use the underground chat rooms even more, isn't the purpose of the laws to prevent things like these. When you have stricter adoption laws the children would most likely end up with a good parent, a parent that wouldn't use the underground chat rooms to get rid of their child.
DeleteIn my opinion I believe that the laws should be stricter and that when a child is adopted it is important to put them with a family that is from the same country and racial background. Mainly because I feel it is important to make sure the child knows where they came from as regards to their history and ancesters. Also, the people who are looking to adopt should have a thourogh background check. since this involves a childs life it's important to make sure that the child isnt exposed to any vulgar language or activities. After all the safety of the child comes first, so the adopting family should not have a problem subjecting to these guildlines.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Shawnise. Child odopters should have very well checked backrounds. We can not just go around giving away children to just anyone. Child safety does come first.
DeleteYes, there should be stricter laws against this matter. It would also show who really wants to adpot a child for good purposes not for pearsonal gain. Hense if thats what they want then they shouldnt even complain about the process.
DeleteI do agree with you. I feel like these people should really want to adopt someone or anyone at all to be able to adopt them. You cant just try adopt someone from another country, then bring them back to this country or our country and try to just give them away to strangers so they can be treated like they are a piece of trash,.
DeleteI absolutely agree with you, Shawnise. Background checks should be the very first thing that should be taken care of before even filling our forms for adopting a child. We can't just give these innocent children to whoever. We want the best for our children and the best is to always look out for their safety.
DeleteWell to answer the question of it being ok to adopt kids from different countries; I see nothing wrong with that. However I do agree with having backround checks on odopting parents. Whether their odpoting from a different country or not, I think that should be required. It's unfortunate that parent go to the extint of giving their child away through a chat room.
ReplyDeleteJessie ,,, I agree It's ok to adopt from other country's ...Backgrounds OK, & the the CHAT RM...that's sick , so By now you know I'm for International Adoptions but with guidelines but not like the US give PARENTS a CHANCE to be PARENTS even the lesbians,gays and transgenders a CHANCE...something alot of US adoption agencys don't do. Not all children are sold into salvery or victims of abuse this is one article look at the 100's or thousands of children that are adopted every year that are victorius winners in the AMERICAN FAMILY .
DeleteI agree with you Jessie there is nothing wrong with adopting children from other countries. Also there should be background on parents who want to adopt. I also agree with you that there should be no difference on what country the child is from we are all equal, and it should be required.
DeleteI purpose a law that we implement to keep children from going to abusive families. These way children do not fall into the wrong hands. However, I do not think that the United States government should prohibit citizens from adopting children that are not from this country. Those children need a home just as much as children from here: if not, more. Every child needs love and attention. Children who do not have parents need more because they feel lost of abandoned. That even goes for children not from here.
ReplyDeleteYes I strongly agree with you juan carlos, every child deserves a nice home and a family to nurture them. No child wants to go to a family who will abuse him/her. There should be an implement to keep children on the hands of nice families who actually do want a child to care for. The same goes to children who are from other countries , the government should not prohibit U.S citizens from adopting them.
DeleteYes I strongly agree with you Juan Carlos, every family should always get a background check before adopting a child. Every child wants a home and a family who will nurture them and not abuse them. There for yes there should be an implement on agencies being a lot stricter with who adopts a child. Same goes to children from other countries, hence I don't think the U.S government should prohibit citizens from adopting children from other countries.
DeleteIn my opinion background checks should be required for International Adoption Services. Even though these activities are taken place I don't believe that the families who have gone through the background checks ,and want to give a child an opportunity to have a better life should not be denied that chance to adopt. There are alot of ways to verify wether a family is even eligible to adopt foreign children. Hense there sgould be more cautious procedures.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree, that there should be a background check for International Adoption Services. Anyone can verify weather the family is good or bad influnce. So i think everyone should go thru a background check.
DeleteI too agree with you Ashley, there is many ways to verify if families are eligible to adopt a child. There should always be a background check for every single family who want to adopt a child. The agencies should be a lot more cautious on who adopts children. This will prevent any child to experience any kind of child abuse that they would not want.
DeleteI as well agree with you Ashley, A background check is really needed for the International Adoption Service. But I would disagree on the fact of not knowing the type of family the child is going to be held accountable. One more i want to respond is going back to my last sentence is agreeing to you having cautious procedures
DeleteI have just recently seen the movie "Baby Sellers", I know its a movie but its based on real life situations. That movie really touched my heart, anyways, I do believe that parents who wish to adopt or become adoptive parents should be evalutated strictly. The adoptive agencies should also keep in check with the child every now and then, just for safety purposes. I know that to be a foster parent it requires to be subbmited through a criminal background check, a home inspection, some parenting meetings and classes, and I believe a psyological exam. Although being a foster parent and an adoptive parent isn't the same, it should require more or less similar requirements. Regarding the idea that the "American government" should "prohibit citizens from adopting children that are not from our particular country" sounds good in some perspectives. However what if a person with a specific race would like to adopt a child of their own race? Although, I do frankly believe more precaution shall be taken when it relates to adoption. The adoptive agency must be sure that the child was given up for adoption instead of forcefully taken from its biological parents, because that does happen a lot, its called baby trafficing.

Deletei agreed with you kharim, i think adoption agencies should take more precautions, just for safety purposes
DeleteThanks for bringing outside information into this blog. Next time i get on Netflix ill check it out. I agree with you Kharim, adults trying to adopt children should undergo a psychological exam. this will help prove that over an amount of time they wont reject the adopted child.
DeleteI just saw the movie and i agree my mom takes in friends and kids all the time and helps every one but is happy with just #1 me.... The laws of adoption are ok for some people but they hold alot of people back that could be wonderful parents while other peole dont deserve the children they have and treat them like dirt. Something they did in their teenage years shouldn't be held against them when they are still 30-40 yrs old still trying to have a family & now have to go over seas to have the family they want, International Adoption laws vary from county to country but why does the rich get to pick and choose and the poor get all the bad press and blame . Adopt where you can go faster and not have to wait several years and deal with continual disapointment.
DeleteKharim is absolutely right , I too have seen that movie "Baby Seller" it may not be real ,but it is based on real everyday things that go in in the world and most people will do anything for a couple of bucks so for a family as well ,but not at adopted parents or foster parents are capable of taking care of a child let alone providing and nurturing for a child if they are not stable or finically stable either there should be some more effective laws to make sure the parents have a good background ,jobs, good health, and no mental records that could put the child in danger . The laws should be more strict about adopting children for their safety and health .
Deletein my opinion people that are going to adopt internationally should be backgroud check to se if there eligible to adopt. i think its dumb to adopt a child you would not have the patients to deal with.
ReplyDeleteI think that the people who are going to be adopting kids for our country, or any other country should seriously be evaluated strictly. What we were blogging this week, is just idiosyncracy. Being a foster parent or being in a foster home is very crucial and I'm pretty sure that the kids have been through enough in their lifetime. They should have to be adopted then not being able to be taken care of to became someones sex slaves. I feel like the government and these agenices should have more strict laws and rules when it comes to adopting kids from any wehre. When someone is going to adopt I think that they should be inspected very well, background checks and all. But they really need to be inspected very well. Even family backgrounds and everyone they know because they shouldnt have things like this happening at all.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Justice. I agree with taking very serious when adopting a child. Whoever wants to adopt a children should not treat them like slaves. They should be treated like if there where your own children. So the government should make sure to do a background check and be very strict with that law.
DeleteI completely agree with you. The children have suffered enough and they need to go to a family that will care for them and raise them well.
DeleteYou are totally correct. These children go through enough they don't deserve to be punished for the rest of their lives. They should go to a family that comforts them and ensures their safety.
DeleteI completely agree with you there should be stricter laws involving child adoption. Also its a good idea about asking the family and neighbors of the person that want to adopt, it would be very helpful to determine of they are qualified or not.
DeleteIn my perspective i believed a background check should be required for International Adoption Services. Without background check even a criminal can even adopt a children. Which makes it very unfair for the children. Also theres a big possibility that the crimanl want to do something bad with the adopted children. So i think is very important for a background check for International Adoption Services.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, we wouldn't want to hand a child over to a criminal. Thats just absurd, so they do need to enforce background checks.
DeleteA criminal background check sounds like a really good idea! However, I think that they should do more than just a background check. They should make sure the environment is good, and make sure the family can handle another child. With that, the possibilities of having an adopted child at danger is really small.
DeleteI strongly agree with you , criminal background checks are a must to adopt internationally. A system should be made were the adoptee has to pass all government regulations to adopt. Once the adoptee is approved then they can adopt a child. This ensures that the child will be safe and provided for.
DeleteI belive couples trying to adopt children should undergo a pshycological exam to prove if they're capable enough to handle stressful situation with that child. I also suggest that if a child that is being adopted and moving to another country should at least go classes where they teach them about their country that there going to transition to. Agencys that protect these adopted children should visit the child every month to check on them. I also believe the FBI should get involved with these illegal adoption network.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Christian, adopting parents should go through a pshycological exam to prove if they are capable to to handle stressful situations because what if the parents aren't many things can go wrong. thats when parents end up murdering all of their families sometimes because of all the stress they get. They should start doing this in order to qualify to adopt children.
DeleteI agree with you Christian, because the child from another country would not know how to live in America and like you said they should take classes and you were right on that. Although, the FBI should get involve with the illegal adoption network because to make sure the child is where they want to be.
DeleteI think people that want to adopt children should always have a background check because everybody is the diffrent.
ReplyDeleteHere is why somking, jail time and more that I don't want to say. Children should be adopt but in home that are caring safe for the children.
I know that justice will know what to do.
Children all should have a background check because that child could have a history maybe parents could've been bad or other things but most importantly because for their safety i think the u.s should prohibit citizen from adopting children from other countries
ReplyDeleteI do belive that the laws should be stricter. Aslo, the family that is trying to adopt must have a clean and safe living environment. They should also do background checks on everyone that stays in the building (including teenagers). Plus, the adoption agencys have to have clean paper work. They should also have random check-ups on the agencys and the family that has adopted as well.
ReplyDeleteHaving a background check and randomly checking up on the families sounds good. That way, one would see how the adoptive child is actually doing at their home and make sure there is no child abuse, or that any child is harshly treated. Also, doing a background check on everyone in the building, even the teenagers, would help to ensure the child is safe. Because most of the time we don't see teens as threats, but there is still a possibility.
DeleteI agree with you Ramiro Monte. That the laws should be stricter in the families. We wan the kids to be happy and safe with there new family. I also agree that they nit to make a background check in the ones who lives in the building. The Rison is that you never know who lives near you. I agree that they should have a random check up.
DeleteThere are many children without families, waiting to be adopted. For the most, they all want a home and family. However, the adoption agencies cannot and should not let any one in particular adopt them. They need to make sure the children are being taken to a safe environment without any immediate threats. Therefore, I do believe we should implement laws which would be stricter when it pertains to adopting children. As to the second question, there are many countries that have children waiting to be adopted, but not many people want to adopt. Perhaps because a law like in China where they have the "One- Child Policy." Hence, I do not believe our government should prohibit citizens from adopting children that are not from our particular country.
ReplyDeleteLourdes your so right, so many children are waiting to be adopted, and the adopted agents should make sure these kids go to a safe environment without feeling threaten. The laws should be stricter, and do a background check to make sure the want to be parents aren't a danger to the kids.
DeleteLourdes I strongly agree with you on your blog. There are some any laws out there but, when dealing with kids we have to know who is the child going to and also know if they will be going to a warm and loving home. If there is no law helping these children then no one knows what will happen to these innocent children.
DeleteI believe that we should implement laws which would be stricter when it pertains to adopting children from out of the country. There are many families without a background check and should be checked from the start. As the second question, I don't think the American government should prohibit from adopting children that are not from this country because of the good families who are willing to adopt to give them a good life. There are agencies to protect the life of a child/teenager from a foreign country. Hence, laws should be stricter on adoption on a foreign child and the American government should not prohibit the families who really do care.
ReplyDeleteI strongly believe that for every child who is adopted , agencies must have already done a background check on the families adopting these children. They could even check on the children constantly to see how they are being treated. If there are any signs of a child being abused the child should be take away immediately from that family. Every child wants a family who will take good care of them not treat them badly. There for I do think there should be an implement on laws for agencies to be a lot stricter on who adopts any child. Hence I think that not only the adults who are adopting a child should get a background check, even teens should have a background check as well only for precaution. As for our government who wants to prohibit citizens from adopting children whom are not from our country. I totally do not agree , I believe every child deserves a happy chapter in there life starting with a family who will watch over them and give them all their attention ,doesn't matter where they come from.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, every child deserves a happy chapter, no matter where they come from. Also with the background checks on the teens too, cause the parents should be aware of how they were and what are they Capable of doing.
DeleteI agree with you bt just not knowing what they are capable of doing. Also knowing that the parents will be there when they need them. As if they have any type of issues they are dealing with.
DeleteI agree with you Erika. The law should be stricter when it comes to adopting a child. Also, I agree that after a child has been adopted they should keep track on the child and keep checking on how they are doing. Also, like you said if there are any signs of the child being harmed and not safe they should be taken away as soon as possible. Every child does deserve a happy chapter with their new families and won't matter from what country they are from.
DeleteI believe everyone should get a background check specially if you are going to adopt a child. If jobs require a back ground check, so should adopting a child. You never know what a person is capable of doing. If you do not check, you could be giving a innocent child to a rapists, or a murderer. When someone does get approved to adopt and takes the kids home, I strongly believe there should be random surprise visits at least once a month. Also the adopted agency's should Interview the kids one on one private and make sure they're okay and are safe. I think anyone should adopt kids with a good background no matter what race is the child cause were all human and we all need someone to love and be loved by.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Gabrielle, that random surprise visits at least once a month and also the adopted agency's should Interview the kids one on one private and make sure they're okay and are safe. You never know what they can tell a child before the agency come over. You also need to see how the family and that child reacts when they show up.
DeleteI agree with you, Gabrielle. Background checks are really important especially when it comes to adopting a child. Like you say, nobody wants a child to be around a rapist or murderer. Safety comes first.
DeleteI agree with you Gabrielle. We will never know what others are capable of, they really should be strict on the law and have the parent who wants to adopt have a background check or any criminal record. We want the children to be with a family that really cares about them no matter what. Also, they should check by the children who being adopted to check if there safe and visit them.
DeleteI agree with you Gabrielle. The law should be more strict on checking background before adopting a child. The reason why like you said you just never know what kind of people you are giving the child to. Nobody wants to be around a rapist or murderer. The children should be safe no matter what always.
DeleteI agree that it is okay to adopt children from other countries because it gives children from other countries a better opportunities but i don’t like how the american system is with how long a family has to wait on a list to start a family.. our system needs to be quicker to put children in homes than letting them growing up on the streets. Adoption laws are vary from state to state and are constantly changing. When we choose to adopt internationally, we are not only forming our own family with the addition of a beloved child who brings a unique and separate culture and history, but we are also making a promise to that country to raise that child in America to show that we care for them & everyone.So when a couple wants to go outside America to find that perfit child but the American system reject them the right to start their dream of having a family is very rude.So when a couple wants to adopted a child outside America I approve.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Elishua, that it is right to let people adopt from outside America. Those. Children growing up in the orphanage probably think no one loves them and think they have no future. If children were a bit easier to adopt there could be a lot of children not even remembering that they were adopted in the first place. The opportunities are endless here so why not share them with these children.
DeleteIn my view of this circumstance, a strict law should be enforced in adopting a child from a foreign country. From the beginning of actually adopting a baby their should always be a background check. The American Government should see the fact that here in this world, there is families who would actually adopt a child for a better life for them. Hence, the law being strict on first having a background check on the child and as well as the American Government prohibiting on adopting child due to the fact a family out there are willing to at least give the child a better life
ReplyDeleteIt is hard to agree or disagree with this blog because a lot of good people wanting to have children are held back by a system that are faulty and riddled by political inside tactics. Yes their are thousands of children in the USA that are wanting and needing homes and only the select few such as baby's and toddlers get taken and older children get left in the system and go into foster care , So if a couple wants to go outside the country to adopt because they can't get the American system to let them have their dream of having a family and giving a child from a 3rd world country a better life then why or who are we to stop their dream or that of the child they can or could be saving. We can always monitor them for a year and do visits like CPS does for 2yrs but don't bar them or halt their chance to fill their goal of having a family.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the law should be strict when it comes down to adopting a child. Every child derserves to be happy no matter what you they have been through. Knowing that the child is going to be in hands and also a safe environment. Therefore a background check should be done. Bt as for adopting a from different countries why not?
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Danielle because it is true that every child should be happy. Adopting children from different countries isn't a bad idea as long as its for actual people just wanting a family of their own. Adopting children from different countries is heartwarming because many times the parents of those children don't even care once the babies are born. Those children are just thrown out like they were never even born so when adopted those children could have a better future here.
DeleteI agree with you Danielle. The laws should be stricter in order to protect the children. Every child does deserve to be happy and have loving parents. And as for adopting from a different country I don't see a problem with it. As long as their are deep background checks on the poeple who are trying to adopt.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI agree also with you Danielle. No matter what, every children should be happy and have a nice place to live with there lovely new parents. Also, I agree that the agency should check the parents who will like to adopt to check their background record and see if there really safe for the children.
DeleteI strongly agree with you Danielle. I do believe that every child should be happy. They should be stricter in the adopting center. The Rison is that we don’t wan the kids to end up in a bad home. The adopting center nits to make shore that the people who wan to adopt are capable of having those kids.
DeleteYes cindy I agree with you it is not the childs fault they are put up for adoption. So that it is the responsibility of the care takers at the adoption centers to ensure the family wishing to adopt is Capable of keeping the child safe and of raising a child. Because that is a lot of responsibility and should never be taken lightly in my opinion. It is the life of an innocent baby.
DeleteI absolutely agree that laws should be stricter when it comes to adopting children. I also believe that anyone could adopt children from other countries, there should be no problem with that. But yes, of course, background checks from that specific adopter should be done, for the safety of the children. Nobody wants a sex offender being around or taking care of an innocent child. Background checks do play a big role in this blog because as long as they do that, many more children will be even more safe in the arms of a responsible parent & that would give many more children loving homes, a better life and of course, a better education. Monitoring can also help with this problem as many are not fully trusted, surprise visits wouldn't hurt but denying a couple a chance to adopt a child and making a family of their own is so rude. Anyone should be allowed to adopt from different counties as long as the children are safe and know they are going to be in the arms of a responsible parent, that's all that really matters.
ReplyDeleteI believe the laws should be stricter when adopting any child. There should be background checks of everyone in the family trying to adopt a child. It is actually very difficult to know how a family really is even without a bad background. Nowadays parents treat their own children very badly imagine the things they could do to the children that aren't even blood related. There has to be very strict rules when leaving a child with any family. The children should be checked on very constantly and asked how they're being treated without the family around to discourage false answers. Visits to check on the child should not make the family feel interrogated because there are people that just want a family. It should just show the adoption agency actually cared for the children.
ReplyDeleteAgree , couldn't have said it better myself. Your so right about having the agencies check on the children without the family being there to discourage false answers. Some people only want a family , but just for precaution yes the children should be checked on a daily basis to make sure they are treated right. No child wants to go through any kind of child abuse.
DeleteI think their should definetely be stricter laws about how children are adopted. Their should be deep background checks on the people who are trying to adopt the children. Also the consequences should be stricter in order to scare the individuals who are thinking of doing such a thing. The goverment should realize that this is huge problem and that they need to start doing something about it. I don't think they should abolish adoption completely their are actually good people out there who are good parents and want to help these poor children.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the law should be stricter in the adoptions because parents who adopt children don’t really appreciate them. To raise a child they should have a background check when it comes to adopting a child. We don't want children to be harm or being treated badly, all we desire is for them to have a place to live, be safety, and have a loving and caring parents. As in the news stated, " To legally take custody of a child through the U.S. foster care system, prospective parents undergo criminal background checks, home inspections, and in most states, dozens of hours of training. After placement, social workers visit the family regularly to ensure the child is safe.” Also, I think that when it comes to raise or adopt a child it won’t matter what raise there are because we’re human and we are equal no matter what.
ReplyDeleteI agree 100% with you crystal! Families should also get background checked to see what kind of people they are and to see if they are the right people to adopt a child. Also parents dont really appreciate the children they adopt because probably they feel like they aren't their own because they didnt give birth to them. every child deserves to be loved safe and have a place to live as well like you said.
DeleteI agree with you both. I really like the idea of having a social worker check on the child after being adopted. Who knows? The family can turn on him/her just because he/she isn't exactly there's. If there is any mistreatment then of course the child should be removed. Those children deserve the best just as anyone else. Like Crystal said, we are all human and equal.
DeleteI agree with you all. There should be background checks to make sure the child is safe and in a good place. I also agree that it shouldn't matter what race people are as long as they have a background check done.
DeleteI think that giving away children is really wrong, especially to some one that you dont even know. It says that they are mostly given away to child predators, and i dont know why people would still give them away to the best family out there or to the worst. No parent should give up on thier kids no matter what. Why even adopt a kid if your going to give it away. And i also think that people should do a completely background check on the kid they are going to adopt because they dont know what that child has been throughat they are getting t or whhemselves into.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Ivan, the parents should take responsibility for their actions. Its different taking care of your own child rather than a kid you adopt. The adoptive parents think that it's okay to mistreat them because they're not really related. Adoption should not be dealt with online. If the person really doesn't want their child, they should contact an adoption agency, so that they will take care of the child. Then the adoption agency should make sure that the child is placed with a family that has had a background check.
DeleteUnfortunately in this world, not everyone adopts a child to be part of a family that will provide happiness for him/her. As my peer, Angelica Quintanilla, stated that there are bad people who while adopt them and in anyway try to make money out of them as well as just making them miserable. Laws should be much stricter on these issues. Not just anybody should be able to adopt a child which is why background checks should be run on anyone who wishes to. After the whole adoption process is over and the child is in his/her new family's custody, an agent of some sort should keep up with the child just to make sure everything's ok. American government shouldn't prohibit international adoption. It really does save those kids lives that are living in bad circumstances.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Anaruth, not only should they check on the adopters after they receive the child, they should also check on the couples life style before they are given the chance to adopt a child. This would later lead to a background check. Many children have been mistreated when they are adopted, especially those that do not go through the process that an adoption agency goes through. The children that are given away to a complete stranger are the children that suffer the most.
DeleteI agree with you. Children are mistreated and people should have background checks to insure that the children will be all right. They shouldn't be handed off to just any family that wants them.
DeleteThey should implement background checks while you are adopting a child.It is wrong to give away a child to a stranger for money.The person who adopts a international child should get checked for his whole identity.The laws should be stricter to adopt a child in every situation.The Americans should adopt from the United States not from other countries because its never secure without a background check.
ReplyDeleteI Agree With You Juan People Just Giving Little Kids To Strangers For Money . I Just Think They Need To Do Check Ups On The Kids To See If They Are Okay.
DeleteI agree with you juan that is a really good point that I believe a lot of people are not aware about what it really takes to just adopt a child. They should background checks at the very least to ensure the child safety. Not just adopt and that be all the laws should be much more strict when it comes to another life being at your liberty. Families who wish to adopt must be capable of providing the necessary elements to raise a child.
DeleteI agree with you Juan you have a strong statement there sir. Not only are these children going to different people they never met before but also need to know they will be in good hands. If there is no background check then who knows what will happen to the future of the innocent kids that just want to be accepted.
DeleteI strongly agree that every parent adopting a child should have a background check before adopting him/her. The reason why is because many families don't provide love and care to the child, many kids have been mistreated when they are adopted. Also, you never know what kind of person your giving the child to. The laws should be stricter when it comes on adopting a child. Not just anyone can adopt a child. After making the whole process of making sure the parents background is good, they should keep up with the child and making sure they are healthy, safe , and happy.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. Any parent should go through any background checks that are necessary to ensure the child's safety. If everything checks out then they should be granted custody of the child. And yes they should have some sort of agent to make sure that the child is happy and safe with his new parents.
DeleteI believe the law should be stricter regarding adopting a child. Yes, people should be given the opportunity to adopt children internationally. Many parents are not prepared to raise a child, so they decide to give away their child. What they don’t think about is who their child is going to end up with. When the parent is in desperate need to get rid of their child they hand them over to a complete stranger. This leads to the mistreatment of the child. Most of the time, the person taking care of the child abuses them or uses them to make money. Therefore, there should be background checks on the adopters. The adoption agency should first check up on their life style before they are granted a child. If they qualify to receive a child, the agency should check up on them once in a while to avoid mistreatment of the child. They should have one-on-one talks with the child and with the adopter to see if the family is indeed the right fit for the child. Allowing adoption outside the country can give children an opportunity for a better future, but only with the right family.
ReplyDeleteI agree with background checks to be enforced to the adopters. Also people should be allowed to adopt internationally.
Delete
ReplyDeleteI do believe that they should do a back ground check to the ones who wan to adopt. The adopting center should be stricter. We don’t wan the kids to end up in a bad house. The kids deserve to be happy with a new family. The reason is that everyday you see parents in the new that forgot there kid in the car. I do believe that the Americans should be able to adopt kids from another county. Every kid no matters were they are from deserves to have a better home.
I Agree They Need To Be More Stricter But They Also Need To Do Check Ups On The Kids That Are Adopted. So They Won't Be Sold For Money To Strangers .
DeleteI Believe They Should Be More Stricter On People That Want To Adopt Kids In Different Countrys. They Should Do Check Up On The Kids Like Every Year To See How They Are DoinG .An I Don't Know How People Can Do That To Little Kids Just Sell Them Away .
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you are saying about being more strict for adoption but I disagree with check ups every year. From my perspective, I think a child should receive check ups weekly just to make sure the child is healthy and living right. For the people who sell their children, I think they have some major issues but then again they were probably going through rough times and they did not want their child to go through it, as well. The parents should have gave their child up for adoption instead of selling their child.
DeleteI believe the law should be more strict when it comes to adoption. The family or adult that is adopting a child should indeed have a background check and must be invested whether they have enough resources and good environment to raise the child well. It is very unacceptable to give a child to a stranger that just asked for a kid, and if a orphanage did, they have just put a child's life at risk. Now in my opinion, I say that Americans families can adopt kids from another country, we're all human no matter what country they're born in! As long as the families have good intentions of taking good care of the child instead of committing bad decisions to them.
ReplyDeleteThere should me more regulations when it comes to adopting a child. I believe the couple or the family adopting the child should get a full background check and be interview and asked questions like, " how will you be able to support this child?" and, " What will you do if you decide you don't want this child anymore?"
ReplyDeleteI believe the family that adopts shoould be interogated and investigated as well as the agency/agencies involved because dishonesty, mischief, scandal, and various falsehoods come into play when money is involved and the children shouldnt suffer.
DeleteIn my opinion, I do believe the laws should be stricter when it pertains to adopting children. The person or persons that want to adopt should have a background check for the child's safety. To insure that the child will be in a safe environment, they should do a background check to make sure the child isn't going with a sex offender, murderer, rapid, etc. As for prohibiting citizens from adopting children that are not from our country, I think we should let them adopt. As long as they to get a background check to make sure that the child is in a safe living condition. I don't think it matters wether they are from our country or not as long as the child is safe.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Jiovanna, because the government should do background checks on the individual who is adopting the child. Also, the child needs to be in a safe environment and not with a sex offender, or anyone who pertains to a bad record.
DeleteI agree with your comment. The safety of the child should not be in risk. I also believe people should be allowed to adopt from other countries.
Deletethey should my a law to check on the person background.
ReplyDeleteI believe that it is okay to adopt out of America. I also believe that we do need to strike the law of adoption Worldwide. It’s a shame that you can find a child on a chat rooms and get them without any background search. What I found interesting is Black market adoption. In the black market, the adoption of a child does not require any home study or adoption counseling. The means for the child to be declared an orphan may not have been ethically acquired. Adopting a child from the black market is usually done in exchange for large amounts of money. Sometimes this money may be given directly to the adopte's birth parents. It’s very sad that you can just give a child for money and no one one can be counseling to see if you are fit to take care of that child.
ReplyDeleteSteven Reyes #104
I agree with you crystal , I myself have a baby and I can't even think how there are people out there who will give their children away or exchange them for money. A child needs love , as well as a nice home with nice people. I too believe there should be a strike on worldwide adoption.
DeleteIn my opinion families should have to go through a series of tests over a long period of time to ensure that the family is capable of providing the necessities For raising a child both financially and emotionally, I personally have never raised a child but I know it must take plenty of patience and and understanding. The laws should be strict for that requirements to adopt a child because it is the life of an innocent human who can not fend for himself. As for the location topic it shouldnt matter where the child comes from unless he or she is old enough and has specific wishes on where he would perfer to go. I feel as if children in adoption centers are forced into many situations and dont have a choice in life untill they are 18 and move out of the facility.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Valerie, Families should go through series of test and also seeing if they are fit and capable of providing for that child.Yes the laws should be strict on adopting an innocent life.
DeleteSteven Reyes #104
I agree with you Valerie,that families should take test to prove that they can take care of an adopt child.The laws should be stricter too people have not raised a child before the adoption.
DeleteI agree with you Valerie that the child should be able to choose where he/she wants to go. Others shouldn't decide for them because they are not the ones that are going to live with that family.
DeleteSome families can't not have kids of their own so they go with plan b and that is adoption but before doing that the family has to prove that they can raise this kid on there own and provide for them. Thats why the laws should be more stricter on adopting kids because some families don't treat them right.
ReplyDeleteExactly my point that is why I think the law should be stricter when it comes to adopting a child. Yes it might be tough to adopt a.child now but they're some people that go through that and still manage to hurt the child.
DeleteI believe every child needs a home where the peole in it are nice and caring. No child wants to be abused in any way. Children need love and lots of attention. Even for children whom are not from our country should be adopted by nice families. But before any child gets adopted there should be a background check on every family to make sure they are eligible. There for an implement for agencies where kids can be adopted should be a lot more stricter. As for our government wanting to prohibit u.s citizens from adopting children from different countries, I think he is crazy that should not be a law at all.
ReplyDeleteIn my perspective the law should be stricter when it comes to adoptions. They should also have background checks to those who are adopting children. No one would like children to be harmed or treated badly. This is why they should have background checks that way they know the child is in good hands. Also, they should have home inspections every once in a while to check on how the child is doing.
ReplyDeleteIt is very important that the child that is being adopted lives in a safe environment with loving and caring parents. All a child desires is happiness, a loving home and family.
I agree with the laws being more strict when it comes to adoptions. Home inspections should happen more often just to make sure the child is healthy with the new family. For closure, yes a child desires happiness, a loving home and family.
DeleteI believe in prososing and impletmenting laws which would be stricter when it pertains to adopting children. From my perspective, an American family should be allowed to adopt a child internationally, after a background check. A child is just a child who was brought into this world without asking for life, so if a parent/parents were not eligible to take care of their child, they should send them off for adoption. Once the child is up for adoption, a family should not have to wait on a list to adopt a child who is in need for a better life. Before the American family adopts the child from another country, they should go through plenty of test and background checks to make sure they are capable of raising a child. If the American family has a criminal record, they should not be allowed to adopt any child, especially if that child is from another country because that child may be endangered with the family. The family could turn out to be abusive which would only hurt the child more instead of helping the child.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the background check that the parents have to pass so they get to adopt a child.The come children come here for a better way of life not to get mistreatef by a person whose background was bad without implementing stricter laws.
DeleteI agree with you one hundred percent Andrea! But I also believe that if they do have a criminal record there licence to adopt should be ivoked as well. Your perspective is not only simply perfect but it's just wonderful. The adoption is for the child not for a predator whom is wishing to harm the child!
DeleteI think their should definetely be stricter laws about how children are adopted. I do believe that making adoptions laws more strict will benefit the children, but I also believe that many people wont want to go to the trouble and would use the underground chat rooms even more. The children here in America and all over the world deserve a better life as well as the opportunities we have here in the U.S., which ties into the subject of having the families background checked. Whether their odpoting from a different country or not, I think that should be required. Hence, laws should be stricter on adoption on a foreign child and the American government should not prohibit the families who really do care.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you Abimael, if the family is clearly not capable of taking care of a child then they should not even consider adoption. Yes, whether the family is adopting in country or out of country no matter where there choosing to adopt there should ALWAYS be background checks as well as up to date background checks!
DeleteIt is unfortunate that many children endure abuse because they were adopted by a mistreating individual. People wanting to adopt should have a thorough criminal background check to ensure the child's safety. The United States government already has strict laws and regulations regarding the adoption of a child. These so called " chat rooms" are not following the regulations and laws of the government. Chat rooms should be stopped immediately since many children are facing dangers by being adopted this way. People should even be allowed to adopt outside the country as long as they are following government regulations. Following the laws and regulations can prevent children from being adopted abused through out the country.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Pecina becasue think about the three girls that were kidnaped. What if someone hides behind the word adoption and treats them kids in that manner. That type of abuse is sure to happen and go unreported just because the kids call their abusers mommy and daddy.
DeleteI do agree with you a hundred percent. I believe that chat rooms are a sex offenders main tool to reach kids. People get into big trouble if they get caught doing this type of things.
DeleteYes I think laws should be made for adopting children/babies from other countries because there should be some safety precausions in place for the safety of the childrens. They shouldnt be brought over here to be sex slaves nor be involved in sex trafficing.

ReplyDeleteThis is one of the saddest tragedies that are occuring in the world. What is wrong with people in this world? I believe that every person(s) that feels the need to sexually harrass, murder, assualt, or nearly anything that is clearly not moral is mentally unstable and they deserve to be treated twenty times worse than any prisoner! It's sad to think of what the child has to deal with there whole life.. The children that come from these adoption agencies are excited to be in an actual home with a family but when they meet there "families" it's as if there trapped in a prision until someone hopefully find's out the ugly truth.
ReplyDeleteI strongly believe there should be 2 different theorial background checks for people wishing to adopt a child. One will be a criminal background while the other will be about there past history and how they are now. After the family recives the child there will be a secret investigation for five months to see if the family is capable of holding a child in there home. If the family fails the investigators will instantly remove the child from the home and make sure the family will never be allowed to adopt again. Some say this may be harsh but it's for the child's safety.
When adopting familes should not be picky, there looking for a child to call there own not doll. If the familes do not wish to go by these laws them they should instantly have there adoption linceses ivoked!
There should be a more stronger and secured law be taken for the safety of these children that don’t have a roof to sleep under and want a family that actually wants to have a new member to their household. When allowing the International Adoption Services go on and continue without any sort of background check not only will the people be fooled but, the children that might be victimized for these so called “Adoption services” may actually be something other than just an adoption service. For websites to obtaining children and passing them over to the people that really shouldn’t even get close to children, they make the lives of these poor innocent kids a living nightmare, thinking they are not wanted example if the background check did not accrue in any form than danger would proceed leading to in this world due to the fact that no background check was done and were handed down to people that will do things we wouldn’t want to imagine in any way or sort of from. All these children want is a loving home where they know they are safe, but if the government or any division of public safety take command and give a background check or at least monitor the websites then not only will the wrong people receive children that shouldn’t have but, also crime will rise to a point that the community may have to secure their children. Especially if the adoption service does get pass there should be major background checks on the couple or individual interested in adopting a child, making sure the child will be in safe hands and once in a while checkups with the child and guardian or guardians.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you they should have serious background checks and also they should monitor these adoption sites so that no kid should go trough an living nightmare. Also once they have the child adopted they should have frequent random checks so that if anything is happening they won't have a chance to cover it up.
DeleteI personalty believe that their should be somewhat stricter laws towards international adoption. Then again I don't because even though their is people such as predators trying to adopt a child to later make them suffer ;their also is people that actually want children because they themselves can not have children. No I do not think the government should suppress such law to which a human being could not adopt a child from another country . As I said before some people actually have good intentions towards adopting a child and sometimes it takes less time from a foreign country rather than here in America yet again this is my personal view.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you but I also take in consideration that people now will say anything to get what they want. I think this is a big issue then what it seems.
DeleteI agree with you, but also if the people can't have children and want to adopt they will do it the right way under the laws. The predators will only do it behind the laws back because they are either going to abuse them or sell them to get abuse.
DeleteThere should totally be more safety precautions when adopting children from other countries. As they stated there is thousands and thousands of children who are kidnapped and sold for huge ransoms of money all over the world. Before someone in America is able to adopt a kid there should be extensive amounts of backgrounds checks for a certain amount of time. After there is a finalized adoption there should still be monthly check ups and interviews on the children to ensure their safety.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Gary there should be an extensive background check so that these kidnaped kids never be sold to the wrong type of people.
DeleteI agree with you Gary that after the children have been adopted there should be monthly check ups on them to ensure there safety. There should also be various amounts of back ground checks on the parents to make sure there good for the children.
DeleteI agree with you because some children are being mistreated when they get adopted, and they need to be check monthly and interview the children for their safety.
DeleteI do not believe that there should be stricter laws regarding to adopting children, because it is already very hard to go through the paperwork to adopt a child. I believe a extra background check would be an easier fix. Regarding to prohibiting US citizens from adopting from other countries, i believe that is preposterous. To deny someone of a different country the chance at a good life in the united states seems like a very bad idea to me. It is already a very time consuming task to adopt from another country, to adopt from China It takes 32-40 months from submitting the paperwork until arriving home with the baby. Those months are used in making sure the parents adopting are eligible to adopt.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. Adopting a child is already hard enough . To deny some one the chance to have a better life is unfair.
DeleteYes the government should make stricter laws, and they should do background checks when it comes to adopting children. I believe that the government shouldn't let people adopt children from other countries. We already have children in the United States that need adoption. We don't have to be adopting from other countries.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree that people adopting the kids to make sure to check there backgrounds and the parents backgrounds. Also I think that the people adopting should be checked also because they might be sex offenders. People should take this more seriously because they might get into a big issue with adopting international kids because they might be kidnapped.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the fact that they might be kidnapped but that's why not only people but the government should be involve when it.comes to adopting a child as well. But yes I totally agree they should check their backround before adopting.
DeleteI think that the law should be stricter when it comes to adopting a child. I can totally get why parents might want to consider giving away a.child because of they're behavior or something else and there's no other way to help but A child takes up alot of work and responsibility and it shouldn't just be giving or passed around to just anyone. When it comes to something big like this it really does matter someones backround. What if that person had criminal records or is known for a rapist. Though I believe anyone can adopt child around the world unless they're investigated and proved that they can raise a child then yes I agree that anyone can adopt a child from any place.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you are saying but the way the child is should not be a reason he/she should be given away.The parents should think about adopting kids first. I still agree with what you have said.
DeleteI agree with you Angelica there should be stricter laws in adopting a child. Yes it is had to adopt a child, but it should be even harder , because the safety of a child matters. They cannot just be given away to anybody. We have to make sure they are in good hands.
DeleteI strongly believe that there should be strict laws if someone wants to adopt a child. Also if anyone want to adopt a child from over seas then they should since over there they don't have any kind of help that they need. Also when the child gets adopted they should have regular visits with the child by them selves to check if anything is wrong.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your opinion Juancarlos, there should be stricter laws. I honestly don't see what's difference it would make whether they're from overseas or not, they're still in need for parents. Also having regular visits with the children is a great idea.
DeleteI do believe there should be stricter laws on adopting international children. No matter from what nation there from, these are still children in need of parents. They did no wrong these are innocent children who deserve to be cared and showed the good from bad. They didn't do anything to deserve bad treatment towards them, or to get molested, or brutally abused. There should be better/stricter rules or laws against those who want to adopt an international child, in fact there should be no difference in children born here or international children we are all equal even as children.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Diego, laws should be stricter on adopting international children. Yes they are children in need of parents. They do no wrong. Children deserve to be in good treatment and have a better life.
DeleteI don't believe there should be stricter laws for adopting a child from another country.It's already hard to adopt children. Kids in other countries should be allowed to have a real home here in the United States. I don't believe there should be stricter laws against international adoption but there should be more back ground checks to avoid the problem of child abuse.For example if a couple in the U.S wants to adopt a child from another country then the couple should have a background check to make sure that the child will be in good hands.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you Diana, because I believe thag being less stricter will only open more doors for child predators. I understand that many families want to adopt, but laws should definitely be stricter for the safety of every child in need.
DeleteI'm sorry , but I agree with Flor. There is a bigger chance for a child to get abused than if the laws get even more stricter in a child adoption. Yes there are many couples who wish they had a child of their own, but that doesn't mean the laws should be made easier for them to adopt a child.
DeleteFirst and foremost, I believe that proposing and implementing laws should be stricter when it pertains to adopting children. Having stricter laws will enable the government to aesure the children will be going to law abiding citizens. I also believe that United States citizens can adopt any child from other countries. This can help the child have a better life.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you Adrian the laws over adopting children should be stricter. Every child needs the right home and is better to be well informed over the couple adopting a child especially if its from another country.
DeleteI believe there should be stricter laws regarding the adopting of overseas children, because they can be mistreated, abuse, and sexually assaulted. Also they should be a background check on the couples that want to adopt, check if they are financially stable and emotionally able to love the children like their own. The government should allowed citizens to adopt children from foreign countries, only if they have the capability to support the child and proper training also the love and affection for the child.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Jesse, they should do a background check on the couples that want to adopt an child. We do not know what the couple would want to do with them. Children safety comes first.
DeleteThey should not prohibit people from adopting from other countries. There should be laws that strict the safety of children. Children should not be ending up with predators. The laws should be strict on who they are giving the children too.
ReplyDeleteI agree Zaira because without the background checks the children could be harmed in any sort of way. Also I agree the laws could be more strict
DeleteI totally agree with your opinion, making the laws stricter when it comes to adoption could in fact save lives, and children being from other countries shouldn't make a difference, their still human.
DeleteI agree just because the children being adopted from another country shouldn't mean they should be treated unfairly.
DeleteI do believe that the laws should be stricter when it pertains to adopt children. If it’s hard enough to adopt a kid with all the paperwork and they still get treated badly. I believe the only people that should be able to adopt are families that really want a child and can provide a good, caring home. They should have background checks on anyone who wants adopts a kid to see if they have good qualifications. The International Adoption Services should also keep check up on the child’s adoptive family unexpectedly to see if the children are getting mistreated or abused. The orphans shouldn’t be getting exposed to child predators or strangers. Even though there are already enough orphans in America, I don’t think the government should prohibit citizens from adopting foreign children as long as they can provide for the orphan.
ReplyDeleteI believe that there should definitely be stricter laws when it pertains to adopting children because they can end up in the wrong hands. Adults who want to adopt because of personal problems or whatever the case might be, should all have a background check done towards them to insure that the children will remain safe and have the resources needed to live a happy life. For the second question, i believe that citizens should NOT be prohibited from adopting children that are not from our particular country because that doesnt change anything. The kid has no fault in this so why would the ethnicity matter?
ReplyDeleteI strongly believe that the laws should be stricter when it pertains to adopting a child. There's many children in the need of a family who can love them and take care of them. In order for this children to receive all the care they need, the couples who are willing to adopt should have a full background check which enables the government to know if the family is stabled enough to adopt a child. Couples should be allowed to adopt children from another ethnicity or from foreign countries because all the children who need families should be allowed to have one no matter what they look like or what race they are.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion anyone or family that decides to adopt a child that's from another country should not be prohibited to do so, but they should required to have a background. Also they should be stricter with the laws. I'm sure no one wants the child to be left with anyone that is completely dangerous or an unfit provider. They should see if the parent or parents are financially able and see if they have any criminal history therefore the child would not be suffering with their new family.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you that laws should be just a little bit more stricter. The children should be with people who are gonna provIde for them and actually take good care of them.
DeleteI totally agree with you Mrs. Harrell. I believe there should be a back ground check on everyone who wants to adopt a child, because they can end up with a worst family than they already had. Could be worst I think that they should be stricter with the laws. It's for a child's safety especially when the parents are going to be from another country, we don't know how they are. We don't know if they are good loving parents or if they are violent therefore there should be a background check on everything.
ReplyDeleteI believe that people that cannot have children should have the freedom to be able to adopt children from other countries. Background checks should be required on the kids that come from other countries. This is because you can know the situation of the child and know how to deal with the child.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree that there should be stricter laws regarding adoption. Anyone that wants to adopt a children should go through a background check, just to make sure everything's in place. Everything's for the safety of the kid, nothing less. I also believe citizens should be able to adopt a children from another country, after a good background check of course. Some people do it for the wrong reason, they treat the children like property and that's not right. They're just children who are seeking for a family.
ReplyDeletein my point of view is just like covering yourself
ReplyDelete,like a priest do with kids is all premiditated they think that by doing it, they are going to get away with it , so i know this is the way they are gonna get to do what they realy want, so i would recomend to keep track of this people and have them check on a regular basis, predators are gonna find the easy or smart way to get to kids, look at church is full of pedophiles and they are admitend,thats the same way i think about adoptnig kids,for what? to molest them so i do realy think that do a backround check, and make sure they are who they are saying who they are!
