The Dark Side of Adoption
When one gets married in our country, one particular question is asked at the ceremony that is not only troubling for the bride and the bridegroom... but for everyone who may sit in the audience. That question is:...If there is anyone here who feels as though these two should not be married...let them speak now...or forever hold your peace.
If one person is ever killed at an intersection that maybe should have had a caution light or a red light installed years ago...The outrage from the family and friends would probably be heard from coast to coast.
I said all that to say this about adoption....and I know my view and take on it will most likely be very unpopular amoung most readers,and for that I am truly sorry....but I believe and objective view most be taken in order that we may truly help the children in need...as well as providing for their best interest.
The adoption process is so huge that it takes massive effort to accomdate the continuing growth of this collossal endeavor by the state. I must admit that even now as I write this article...the thought of the children who are falling through the cracks, brings tears to my eyes.
It would be so wonderful if every child that was adopted was adopted by someone like an Angelina Jolet...but unfortunately that is not the case...constantly I look for ways to say things in a nice way or to sugar coat something I know that is hard for most people to swallow! Some of us don't even look to see if there is a bad side to anything!...and if there is, some people choose to close there eyes to it!
The judicial system is in a state of non-accountability and beyond prosecution for malpractice and anything else they can be held accountable for!...if you don't know anything about what I am talking about, you probably are severely offended right about now. Please don't be! The truth is what it is!
Go to the net and look under the JAIL(judicial accountability initiative law)acronym. There are children that are being taken out of homes with parents who have made a few mistakes... these children should have not been taken from the biological parents based on the fact that the parents were in a financial bind....Additionally, there have been a bond made between the biological parents, that once severed...no amount of money or foster parents can fix!
The tragic consequences of adoption and foster care are going unreported...there have been reports of lots of abuse even death of children who have been taken from
