Domestic adoption is adopting through the country you live
in and are a citizen of. Usually domestic adoptions are completed through a
private adoption, an agency adoption, or through the foster care system. Each
of these options presents a different processes, laws and challenges. The next
couple of day’s we’ll talk about these differences and similarities that accompany
each of these options.
When it comes to domestic adoption many times the media
portrays a false perspective. It portrays these 15,16,17 year old girls in high
school that have gotten pregnant who are forced to “give up” their child to a
couple who is baby hungry and will do anything to get that teenagers baby.
The first falsehood is that not all birth mothers at
teenagers, most are actually in their late teen to mid-twenties. The second falsehood
is how birth mothers "give up" their babies. They make it sound like
it’s all about the birth mother and forget that there is very dear and precious
child involved. These birth parents are not “giving up” their babies; they are
giving their babies more. By saying they “gave up” their baby, it completely
villainies an absolutely selfless act. Words cannot describe how wonderful
birth mothers are.
But domestic adoption is much more then infant adoption
there is also adoption through the foster care system. The children that are in
the foster care system are there because life at home with their birth parents was
not fit for the proper development and safety of the children. There are
hundreds of thousands of children available for adoption through the foster
care system and they are looking for a forever family too.
