What Kind Of Adoption
In this chapter, we will now be taking a closer look at the various adoption options a couple, or a single person, will have when it comes to adopting a baby or child. Domestic Adoption These adoptions are ones which are arranged through licensed agencies, attorneys, adoption professionals or even a doctor. When choosing this type of adoption, a couple, or single person, is able to choose a child whom they feel will be suitable, and will fit into their family situation. With this type of adoption, it is normally the parents of the child who is up for adoption that will choose the type of family that they wish their child to be adopted by. With this kind of adoption, the parents of the child, as well as those who are adopting them, will be making decisions together about the future of the child. They will discuss just what kind of contact the child will have with its biological parents in the future, if any. Inter Country (International) Adoption This is where the parents of the child to be adopted resides and are citizens in one country, and the people wishing to adopt reside, and are citizens in another. Because the governments of both these countries will actually be involved in the adoption process, then it is advisable for the parent to take a look at the requirements that their country requires in relation to international adoptions. For the USA, a would-be adoptive parent who wishes to consider this kind of adoption option should visit the State Department’s website. Through this, they will learn whether the country they wish to adopt from is legally allowed to take place in the USA. In most cases, a lot of children which are adopted in this way will often be found in either privately, or state run orphanages in the country where they reside. It is important to remember that in many cases, babies and children which are adopted using this option will have been raised in a different kind of culture from their adoptive parents. Therefore the parents will need to learn everything about the culture they have been brought up in, as well as learning about their language and the kinds of foods that they eat. This will then help to ensure that the child is still provided with their own sense of identity in relation to where they come from originally. Kinship or Relative Adoption This is another type of adoption which can take place, and is the type where a family will adopt a child who has ties to their family, or through a relationship that a child has with that family. Such adoptions include those where a stepmother or stepfather has adopted their new partner’s children. Grandparents who have adopted their children’s children for some reason (maybe the parent’s were killed in an accident or they feel that the couple is unable to cope with bringing up the children themselves). It may be a family friend or even a teacher that adopts a child if, for example, they have found that the child’s biological parents are in fact unable to care for them. With all these kinds of adoptions, a licensed professional is required in order to ensure that all the legal requirements relating to an adoption are met, and to ensure that it is finalized using the right procedures. Domestic Adoption from State Foster Care The children who are adopted using this option will have spent some time in either temporary foster care, or another welfare situation. In a lot of cases, the agencies will often want to arrange for numerous siblings to be adopted together, as well as loan children. Unfortunately, these kinds of children will have often come from a very difficult background, and will not understand about what commitment is, and so they will require more attention and commitment than others. Parents who decide to adopt children through this method will find that they are provided with access to many Government benefits. Including Medicaid, subsidies for finding the right kind of tutoring for the child, and other requirements to help the child transfer into a more permanent and loving environment. Along with the above adoption options, there are a number of others that need to be taken into consideration as well, and these are as follows. Open Adoption This is where the birth parents are able to specify the kind of family which they feel is the most appropriate for the child to be placed with. The birth parents will be able to meet with the family that they have chosen, and be able to identify information which can then be shared between both sets of parents. With this type of adoption, the parents will constantly be in contact over the years, and so both sets will need to ensure that they are willing to make a life long commitment to the child that is being adopted. Semi Open Adoption With this kind of adoption procedure, the birth parents again have the right to specify certain characteristics or traits that they want the adoptive parents to have. Also the birth parents have the right, if they wish, to meet with the adoptive parents either before the baby is born, or after the placement has taken place. Once the child has been adopted, then the birth parents have the right to receive pictures or letters from the adoptive parents, but must be passed through the agency and not directly. Close Adoption This is certainly the more common type of adoption option that many would-be prospective parents and birth parents will choose to use. But with this particular one, the birth parents will often have little or no control over who their child is placed with when they are adopted. Certainly with this kind of adoption, the birth parents will find that they do not get provided with information on how their child is fairing, or where they will be residing once they have been adopted. Plus, the adoptive parents may find that they are provided with very little information with regard to the child’s social history before they adopted them. At the end of the day, the type of the adoption a prospective adoptive parent chooses, will then determine the kind of professional that they will be working with during the adoption process. In the next chapter, we will be looking at the kinds of professionals who get involved in adoptions. |
