Lisa Brown - Smith Differentiating Between Public and Private Organizations
There are many differences between public and private organizations. Let us stop and think the biggest one is that the public organizations are usually ran by the government. While the private is done through donors and in some cases are nonprofit. I think that one of the biggest social policies that would affect me in the future as a human services worker is how state run adoption and private run adoption agencies view same sex couples trying to adopt. With the state they require a background check and make sure they get at least two or more home studies done. Then you have to become a foster parent to even be remotely. That be considered is just one of the same sex couples in some places if they do not recognize it they will dismiss your application once they have seen that you are a same sex couple. In a private organization you are able to meet with the organization together then it comes down to finding what kind of child you want and how far you are willing to go. Meaning if you want a child from China you not only has to play by China’s rules but by the United States rules too about adopting out of country. Not only that but you are more likely to get a baby and not a child that is in their toddler years or older. In the future I hope that I will not have to lobby for my clients on this issue. I hope that it is handled by then. But if not then it is trying to figure out where the loopholes are and how to work around them, and if I cannot help them then finding someone that can.
