If you offend easily please be advised to stop reading now. I'm brutally honest with my thoughts regarding international adoption and other controversial issues. I am not here to judge or criticize anyone because these kids do need help. I have been silently reading blogs and some have warmed my
heart, others are questionable and some make me think this is human trafficking. I honestly don't think the wrong doing is on the adoptive parents part but on the regions the families are adopting from and by some of the facilitators or agencies. I do realize collecting the proper documents, home studies, physicals, notaries, appostiles and postage is quite costly. Adding to the cost is multiple trips overseas, passports and travel visas. Once you're there you pay for lodging, food, translators and transportation not including the adoption fees plus a ton of other things.
What I'm questioning is this why are some regions more expensive to adopt from in the same country? I read two different blogs from around the same time and one paid over 10k more in fees/services than the other family. So either the agency or facilitators have deep pockets.
I am amazed how people open their hearts and wallet to give these kids a chance in life. We are all made in God's image even those born with disabilities. Children born with a disability are capable of learning and deserve love. They deserve a chance in life and to be treated with respect. The orphan deserves compassion, a home and a family of their own. They deserve healthcare that improves quality of life. They deserve EVERYTHING they were denied because of poverty and social stigma.
I can't imagine living in a society that encourages mothers to abandon their children because the child happens to have a disability or isn't perfect. What's perfect or normal?
