International Adoption is Never A Bad Idea
My daughter has long blond hair and green eyes. She was 16 months old when we adopted her and was shortly on her way out of the infants hospital we had found her. The chances of adoption after the age of 12 months drastically drops in countries such as Russia, where only healthy infants are desired by the Russian people. Many cannot even afford to take in another child. Once a child in Russia reaches the age of 16 they are turned out into the street to find their own way. Most of the girls turn to prostitution and the boys turn to drugs. China has a similiar story to tell, with the one child rule, the Chinese are unable to adopt their own due to the violation of their country's laws.
Where then, do these purported advocates of these children come off telling everyone including CNN that maybe international adoption is not in the best interests of these children and that perhaps they are better off in their communities. Who is there to raise them in these communities is the questions? No one is the answer. These children are left to beg for their own well being.
