I believe adoption is not what everyone thinks it is. It is a wonderful experience that kids get to have when a couple that wasn’t able to have kids, adopts them. Most of the time an adoption happens when the baby’s birth mother and father couldn’t take care of them and wanted a better life for them than what they could give them. I grew up around adoption. I am not adopted myself but most of my dad’s brothers and sisters were, but he was not. Also, my mom, both of my mom’s sisters, both grandmothers and one of grandfather have worked at Alterative in Motion. Alternatives in Motion is an adoption agency that is located in Houston, Texas and it has been open for about 25 years now. I love to go to the office with my mom and help talk to the birth mothers and try to let them know that everything would be okay. I have never been through the process for adopting a baby, being adopted or putting a baby up for adoption but I have always heard that it is a very hard thing for everyone involved. Many of the ladies that are in the situation for letting their baby have a better life than what they would be able to give them, don’t ever think they can get through it, but like my mom always says today it is extremely hard, tomorrow it will be a little better, and so on. You will never be fully okay, but you will be getting better.
I also believe that adoption can be a wonderful thing for kids that don't have parents or someone who wants them. I have always wanted to be a foster mother or wanted to adopt a child of my own; however, have never been financially secure enough to do so. I am the step-mother to two beuatiful daughters and the grandmother to two beautiful granddaughters, though. I love them more than anything in the world. I know how it feels not to be able to have children and want them so desperately and adoption or fostering is the next best way to having your own. Very well written.
ReplyDeleteAdoption is a great thing for children. I know it would be a hard process, giving a child up for adoption, but they will have a better life. Great blog!
ReplyDeleteI don't really have an opinion on adoption, so... Good blog!
ReplyDeleteNice blog. It informed me on a subject that I don't hear about on a day to day basis.
ReplyDeleteCool blog. I always though it was bad for everybody i guess from all the movies
ReplyDeleteI love this, I always wanted to and am still hoping I am able to adopt someone someday, to give a child a better life. It takes alot of courage, faith and love to willingly give your own child away on the heart for a better life rather than your own selfishness...amazing
