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.

Q. Ok, so I asked a question about 'references' yesterday, and im wondering do they call your 'references' straight away while you are at the shelter? or do they call after you leave? I have a VERY well looked after Pointer already that I will bring to meet the new dog, so maybe they will see I am a responsible owner lol? Do ALL Shelters insist on having references? I honestly don't have anybody to put:( What questions will they ask my references? Oh and remember I live in Australia. lol thanks, but I don't have my neighbours number, and my manager ect. don't know anything about my dog! Asked by HappyLilVegemite - Thu Jul 2 23:03:30 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. probably after you leave, or while youre in a different room, but it all just depends on the place. I'm pretty sure they wont call while youre sitting right there though because that would be awkward. and most places call your vets office, and check to see if your past pets have had all their shots on time and stuff, so its kind of a big task of a thing they go through MOST shelters ask for references. just put a family member, a landlord, a manager from work, or a neighbor. even if they see you have a well taken care of dog, they'll probably still call your references. hahaha it shouldnt be a big deal though, they just want to be sure the dog is going to the right owner, and going to a home that will be the right fit for it. oh and… [cont.] Answered by :] - Thu Jul 2 23:15:05 2009 How can I reccommend adoption to my friend without her being offended? Q. My friend is having a baby, the father isnt in the picture, and her family is going through rough times. She decided to keep it, but now that I think about it adoption would be the best option for the baby. How can I tell her that? Its very hard because shes my best friend and I do want her to keep it but I know that would be selfish. She chose to bring a child into this world and I do not want to see him or her suffer. What do I do? I need to add this for clarification. She has no money for this baby. Her mom is sick and cant work. Her family of 6 live in a 2 bedroom apartment. She is going to school and working part time, having to give all her money to help support her family (little brothers). Her family on one side is not supportive,… [cont.] Asked by Lynn - Fri Jan 30 11:34:23 2009 - - 29 Answers - 1 Comments A. "She decided to keep it, but now that I think about it adoption would be the best option for the baby."--- really? and why do you believe that you are better qualified to decide what a person should do with their child? and how would it be selfish for a mother to keep her child? do you have a magic 8 ball that can predict whether this child will suffer with her; or never suffer with an adoptive family? my recommendation: be a FRIEND and support her decision. ETA: umm.. read your edits, and... i still say you have no case. butt out of her uterus! and offer to babysit. "I helped her decide against abortion, but so many people want kids that cant have them.

Q. Not in how the west exploits adoption, but in other countries how are adoptions, if at all, practiced? Asked by Opedial - Sun Jan 25 19:52:03 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Let me answer for India. You go to an orphanage and choose from the ones that are ready to be placed. You must be meeting all guidelines that are put down by the goverment under CARA. Documentation is done and then you take the child home for fostering.After several month to a year the court grants you full custody. Private adoption practises are highly unethical and more popular but not too common. Don't have stats though to offer. You know a doctor, and then she/he knows some expectant mother(poor or unwed) or a mother post birth (mostly after realising its a girl child after birth since sex determination during pregnancy is not allowed) and she knows of some one who is looking to adopt privately. The doctor or hospital authority calls… [cont.] Answered by Indian-vision - Mon Jan 26 00:32:51 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "adoption" From Wikiquote under the GNU Free Documentation License. |
