yes , it should be banned..... it is about nationalism if the country of the children is applying place as a thing to decide nationalism , and a new country is applying blood of parents as a thing to decide nationalism the children will not get any rights in a new country as the one of society.... because that children is not admitted in a new country because of the real parent's blood.....it will bring disadvantages to the children and also to the new parents ......it's should be banned Side: yes
I feel that these international adoptions, as a general policy, are inherently unfair to the children who will be removed from their culture and their people. It is tinged with institutionalized racism - people of means - and usually white - feel they come from a superior culture and that they can give a child more than persons of less means - and usually persons of color - from within the child's culture. In some cases, I have read adoptions even go ahead without regard to members of the extended family who want to provide, but are seen as inferior to the "importers." Children are human beings, not things or commodities. If people can afford to go to another country to adopt, surely they can afford to adopt a needy child in their own nation, or contribute, instead, to the ability of persons within that country to raise their own children, so that they do not feel so desperately in poverty, they are ready to give their own child away, and to someone in another country. Governments and agencies should work to try to keep children in their own homes and lands. I can't believe that we have developed a system that makes it easier to adopt a child from abroad. The evil people who used to 'export' UK children across the world from orphanages or from wherever they could steal them, now busy themselves developing yet more rules in an attempt to justify their existence. In some areas a white couple cannot adopt a non-white UK child but they can adopt any child from abroad. Why is it that in some parts of the system the most useless, nasty and incompetant percolate to the top? Side: No

no i dont think it should be banned at all. when people adopt they ususally do it for good reasons, to better the childs life. alot of children overseas have horrible lives and families adopt them and bring them over here so they can actually be schooled have have food and water Side: No
not banned. - More often than not children are being removed from an ugly environment (starvation, civil war etc) - Gives children the chance to be brought up in an environment with more money etc - Allows them access to a different culture - orphans with no family can have a healhy family - its good for women who couldnt get pregnent and could not find a baby in their own country. so it should not be banned Side: No
No it should not be banned to adopt children overseas. Different couples have different motives. In some, it is an act of charity. It is a way of helping a suffering people. Media coverage of the harrowing conditions in Romanian orphanages more than a decade ago broke hearts and opened wallets, kicking off the international adoption bonanza. It is estimated 30 000 Romanian orphans were adopted abroad in the 10 years to 2005. Other couples are driven by the desire for a baby, and babies are in short supply in the west. The average age of the children available for adoption in the UK is four years and two months. By the time they get to this age they will likely have experienced the breakdown of their natural family and been through several foster families. They may be emotionally damaged or physically disabled - not the innocent, unformed babies of whom parents dream. Half of the 300 adopted by UK parents each year are from China, where the one-child-per-family policy has resulted in orphanages filled with abandoned children, mostly girls. In the poorer countries of Asia and Africa, many families struggle to feed their children, and some accept that the best chance for their children is to find a better-off family. So it should not be banned to adopt children overseas Side: No
At the same time I believe that it shouldn't be banned. Because while many couples feel that two children is more than they can successfully manage, others don't seem to be able to have enough children. They love each child, the interactions between their children, fun of having their children's friends visit - and deep inside they want more and more. . Adoption is not without its challenges. Each child brings his or her own baggage to the family, whether an infant or a teen. Heredity has its role, and then there are the environmental influences that can impact even a newborn. For example, a baby may be born addicted to drugs, or with difficulties due to poor maternal nutrition. Its first few months may have been highly stressful. Older children have a whole personal history that they will carry with them, and it can't have been all good or they would still be happily playing with blocks in their birth-family's loving home. None of these issues is completely daunting to those few families who just don't seem to be able to have enough children! They are eager to give homes to children of whatever variety. It seems these homes have a lot of excess love they don't know what to do with, and only another child will help them solve their problem! Side: No
