According to New Yorker's Family Research Foundation (NYFRF), and the Washington-based Family Research Council released that Adoption Work Well which is a literature demonstrating that adoption is life-altering beneficial for children.
Ninety-percent of adopting Americans have a positive view of adoption and less than fifteen percent have no regrets. According to Dr. Fagan, "Adoption is a remarkable act by generous people, who offer their money, attention, affection, and time to give young children a better chance in life."
Adoption helps creates positive family relationships between children who are adopted within the first year of life because the children have secure attachments as often as non-adoptees. The adopted mother's sensitivity contributes to a rich, positive home life. Adoption help the birth mothers who put their children up for adoption have better chances to finish school, less likely to live in poverty, or receive public assistance.
Adoption helps improve antisocial behavior because of the relationship created by the adoptive parents. Early adoption makes language acquisitions easier, adoptees do not linger behind the general population in academic performance because they outperform their non-adopted birth peers. In addition, adoptive families influence their children's cognitive capabilities.
After reading this research literature, it help to see that adoption is important because children deserve to be raised by loving and caring people who want to help children to become productive adults.
Talae,
ReplyDeletePositive news indeed! There are many people who love children and have resorted to adoption for one reason or another and they possess positive stories to share. They would have invested their time, resources and love into raising those children that would have impacted positively on their life chances. Certainly, they would have formed secured attachments with these children and provided the stimulus for them to the point where the children view the world as they playground. They are daring, they are not afraid to embrace challenges. On the other hand, there are families who are struggling to raise their children and I am sure some of them would not object to preparing the legal requirements and handing those children over to families who possess the ability to raise them but the emotional and psychological impact I am sure can be excruciating.
Thank you Talae for such a wonderful post on adoption. My fiance' was called by his lawyer asking him to consider adopting an unborn child. We were very concerned as the child is due next month and we aren't married yet and we are both celibate until marriage. We are hundreds of miles apart right now but we decided together to take the child. Your post helped my mind with all the decisions we have to make expecting a new baby. Thanks again. :-)
