Child adoption is a beautiful thought and everyone who is childless should go for it.<br /><br /><a href="http://lawofficeofkarenross.com" rel="nofollow">Personal Injury Attorney Las Vegas</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13209186062051549474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-66549507876111763222012-09-29T16:58:03.430-05:002012-09-29T16:58:03.430-05:00I actually think that adopting DOES require us to ...I actually think that adopting DOES require us to commit ourselves to several causes, not least of which is adoptee rights. How can you adopt a child and not support access to original birth certificates and oppose adoptee deportation?? I would also hope that parents who adopt become committed to ending the need for adoption in the first place by supporting relevant social justice causes -- indeed, I would argue that they have an ethical obligation to do so.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08536074798005511425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-21867845924068503262012-09-29T14:59:57.427-05:002012-09-29T14:59:57.427-05:00The rescue theme is so demeaning!

She insists on using rescue, rescued and rescuing in describing the act of adoption. My head is still spinning. <br />http://7lookingup.blogspot.com/2012/09/updated-challenge-giveaway.html#comment-formMichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10583549885909519094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-45912358398101523612012-09-24T14:17:15.096-05:002012-09-24T14:17:15.096-05:00I agree.

We're looking at it the same way as we define which route for adoption is right for our family (foster to adopt or private adoption of infants). It's so easy to get caught up in the "cause" - I mean, if you're human (christian or not) I'd hope you'd WANT to help out kids living in need of love. But at the same time, you're adopting a PERSON, not a puppy. <br /><br />As an adoptee I remember someone once saying, "Wow, you're parents must be just amazing people. To take in 2 orphans...." um... it's not like we showed up on their doorstep w/ our best rags and puppy dawg eyes. Our parents were shocked by that ignorance. They just wanted kids - so they adopted.

We were just speaking of this at an FCC board meeting.<br />I adopted my children simply because I wanted children, and obviously the only way was to adopt an orphan. No "saving" going on, just plain family building.<br />Hope you don't mind if I share this on Facebook....QingLu Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05630636289761855864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316191265933534655.post-21048502874749628432012-09-22T12:04:53.334-05:002012-09-22T12:04:53.334-05:00Very well said!
