I welcome you to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learners' featured post. Adoption has a process that if one is not determined enough, they will not want to see it through. I can say for sure that there are many adoption processes that were left halfway and not seen through to the end, and many are because of the paperwork or the parents or guardians could not meet a requirement and had to let it go. Some might say the rules to adopt a child might be too rigid, but these rules were put in place for the safety of the child. Some people only value things they suffered or stressed to get; if it was gotten easily, then they don't value it.
Child adoption is one of those things that, if you want to see through, will cause you to visit both places you want to go to and even places you don't want to go to unless you don't want it to happen. As long as you want child adoption to happen or for that child to become yours fully, then you must be willing to step foot in places that support your beliefs and even some places your beliefs might kick against, and it is quite difficult to speed up the process unless you know a person that knows a person. Aside from that, child adoption follows a process, and those in charge always want to follow it.
While I was still in school, a friend of mine talked about this aunty wanting to adopt a child, which was her excuse for not sending him any money then. It has been close to 10 months now, and last week he was telling me they are still working on the adoption papers and many requirements to meet, even including her income being checked to be sure she can take care of the child properly. Imagine being on a particular matter for 10 months; many would have given up already because it is taking longer than expected because even she thought it would happen in the highest 3 months.
Child adoption is a rigid process, and I do support that it is rigid and should stay that way; one who is not patient enough to see it through is not ready to be a parent. As much as I would love to see the kids leave the orphanage homes and be with a real family, it is better they are there than join a family that brat causes them to wish they never left the orphanage home. I have a lot both in real life and in movies. Not every adult should be the custodian or guardian of a child because of how they will treat the child; for that reason, let the rigid process continue and not stop or even reduce.
I think these rules were put in place to make sure that the foster parents get to see the value of the child that is about to be handed unto them. The truth is that these rules don't always guarantee the child's safety or that the child will be treated right by the new parents, but to a point, I think it is the reason 40% of kids fall into the right hands because before they fully hand over the kid or kids, those adopting them are fully vetted; they are assessed and confirmed to be above at least 60% ready to take the responsibility of the child they are about to adopt.
