Personally I've not adopted a child before, I don't have a child but I have little experience of children behave. I've stayed around kids and I've seen different types of drama that folds out between parents and their wards.
One thing for sure that I know regarding racing children is that it'll take a toll on you. Sometimes you go crazy because the exact thing you don't want the kids to do is what they find pleasure doing them. Training children I can tell isn't an easy task, although there's lots of fun but they come with their ups and downs. Children require some special attention. You need to scold them when they're wrong but you need to do that with wisdom or you'll end up growing kids with low self esteem, fear and anxiety.
The goal is to train them into good leaders for the future and while that requires some discipline, you need to strike a balance.
The big question is can everyone take care of children..?
My answer is No. We've seen the results of kids that were raised improperly by parents and they've turned nuisance in the society. We've seen how some children end up becoming victims of abuse, neglect and molestation. There has to be some level of trust and assurance that a child isn't going into the wrong hands before that responsibility can be given out to a person.
Orphanages are place where children with guidance or parents are kept for the purpose of taking care of them and also giving them out for adoption to reliable persons. Before that is done, the management aren't expected to blindly trust you, we are talking about people's life a d children for that matter. The life of every child is super important and standards for giving a child out for adoption should be very tight. I understand this means less children will be given out for adoption and that's perfectly fine by me. You can't take them away and turn them into nuisance, they should just remain in the orphanage.
Standards helps to determine who's fit and can take responsibility, so why should those standards be undermined just so that more people can have access to more children to adopt. Anything that can be done to ensure the safety of children should be done please. There are people with genuine intentions, they really only want to feel that presence of kids around them, since they can't have one of their own.
Sadly some People are just bad in character and shouldn't be given that opportunity to train any child out there. We've seen cases where uncles and Aunties treat their relatives children badly, since the real parents aren't alive to see and caution them. Not everyone that smiles are truly kind people. There are majority in wolf clothing hence the need to set up good standards that people must fulfil before they're given the opportunity to adopt.
