Adoption is a process whereby a person assumes the parenting for another who is not kin and, in so doing, permanently transfers all rights and responsibilities from the original parent or parents. Unlike guardianship or other systems designed for the care of the young, adoption is intended to effect a permanent change in status and as such requires societal recognition, either through legal or religious sanction. Historically some societies have enacted specific laws governing adoption whereas others have endeavored to achieve adoption through less formal means, notably via contracts that specified inheritance rights and parental responsibilities. Modern systems of adoption, arising in the 20th century, tend to be governed by comprehensive statutes and regulations. Adoption has a long history in the Western world, closely tied with the legacy of the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church. Its use has changed considerably over the centuries with its focus shifting from adult adoption and inheritance issues toward children and family creation and its structure moving from a recognition of continuity between the adopted and kin toward allowing relationships of lessened intensity.

Q. Just wondering. Is there any way to know exactly how many adoptees WANT their OBC? WOOOWWW, MamaKate!!! WOW! I was told earlier today that only 60 adoptees in the whole country want their OBC's. Even if your links don't tell the whole story, it shows that there are a lot more than just 60 people who want to know who they are. Thank you! Asked by Gaia Raain - Sun Dec 14 23:35:49 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Dear Gaia, awesome question!!! I looked, but I can't find anywhere public that keeps total records on those stats. I bet agencies have some kind of information about this but they would NEVER let it be publicized! (It would be bad publicity!) Here is what I DID find: "Since new laws have allowed adult adoptees access to their birth certificates, 13,104 adoptees have received their original birth certificates from Alabama, Delaware, Oregon, New Hampshire and Tennessee with no harm shown to anyone including birthparents." -AAC "In the first year that records were opened in Oregon 5,318 requests were made by adoptees for records. Only 58 birth parents did not want contact. In Delaware there were 414 requests for records by adoptees… [cont.] Answered by MamaKate is an Aunt! - Mon Dec 15 00:47:33 2008 Do you think babies born to surrogates have the same attachment disorder as adoptees? Q. Particularly if they are not genetically identical to the surrogate mother? If in utero a baby hears a voice, feels movement, eats the same food as the surrogate mother, would the handover to the bio-parents be a separation the same as when an adoption takes place? Would the child suffer the same as adoptees with RAD? Don't worry, it's not about me - I am not an adoptee or surrogate and never will do either. I'm asking a theoretical question. Asked by MomMom - Mon Jun 30 06:03:57 2008 - - 20 Answers - 0 Comments A. Dear Mom, Heather beat me to it! I was going to link you to the same blog. Here's another: Certainly there is bonding in utero. Science supports this and women are encouraged to consider this when choosing to act as a surrogate or place a child for adoption. Not only does this bonding occur because of sounds, smells, rhythms, etc. but also the biological exchanges between mother and child as the child grows inside of her. Even surrogates exchange biological material with the fetus during pregnancy. This is something that is just now getting real recognition. Glad you asked about it. Camira, Most children born from surrogate arrangements have to be adopted by at least one parent. Surrogacy and adoption often go hand in hand.

Q. Do they want a friend, a second mom, or just info. As well, after they meet, is it normal when the adoptee tries to get close then pull away. If so, why? I always feel like I've said something wrong, and it seems when we're getting to the heart of the matter and establishing something really special, he'll pull away. I don't know where I stand week to week. Asked by Cleopatra - Fri Jan 29 20:14:14 2010 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. Because I wanted my Mother. The pulling away thing is normal for adoptees. We do it with just about everyone we love. We're afraid of losing people. That happens when that's the first thing that happens to you when you are born. Get used to it, and just know that that is par for the course for "MOST" adoptees. You should probably ask for adoptee's opinions only. Most ap's will answer "just info", lol.
