GermanWikipedia has an article on: AdoptionNounAdoption f. (genitive Adoption, plural Adoptionen)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. 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.

GNU Free Documentation License When you speak of ADOPTION REFORM what exactly are you referring to? Q. There are often questions on here, like right now, that address "Adoption Reform". When that question is raised usually everyone is all in favor. I have found that it often means different things to different people, much like adoption itself is not one thing, but various processes, legal and otherwise, that all tend to get lumped together under the single heading of ADOPTION. While there are things about adoption I am in complete agreement need reform, I would be interested in knowing what adoption reform means to different people. Asked by SLY - Wed Jan 21 13:46:16 2009 - - 14 Answers - 0 Comments A. I find the entire concept of North American adoption /childwelfare industry to be fundamentally flawed. It was based in the utopian society movements of the 19th century, and the Progressive era, when 'forward thinkers' were trying to find ways to improve society. The family is the basic unit for replenishing society. Shape the family, and shape society. Adoption has re-defined how many people think of families, with government "help." Adoption of children was based on the idea that environment shaped and molded the child, who was a blank slate at birth. The falsified birth certificate and the laws reflected the "as if born to" concept of this flawed concept. Subsequent 'reform" attempts have done little to improve this situation.… [cont.] Answered by kitta - Wed Jan 21 16:33:12 2009 What wildlife adoption program is the best one to donate to? Q.

Q. Can sumone explain to me how adoption agencies find parents that are caring, lovable, and responsible enough to care for a child? How do they prove that? Do the parents have to take some test or examination before adopting, especially gay couples? Asked by Ellie Marieee :) - Wed Oct 28 16:34:34 2009 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. They are treated the same as any other couple---otherwise it would be discrimination. All interested in adopting or fostering will have a home study done, medical exams, fingerprinting done, references checked, training, etc etc. Answered by cricketlady - Thu Oct 29 13:01:10 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Adoption" From Wikiquote under the GNU Free Documentation License.
