    Why China By Sara Dorow Summary

    In China, orphanages are filled with mainly females who are unwanted because of "cultural" reasons. The good thing is that most of the people who come China, Korea, etc. go there to adapt girls. Parents of adopted Chinese child said it was easier to adopt a child from China rather than someone who is African-American. They believed that the family is more accepting of Asians in comparison to African Americans who is still in society considered as the "other". One parent went in to detail stating that what attracted her to adoption there was the rich, ancient culture, and how she had friends who Asians and thought Chinese children are beautiful. Generally, Caucasians went to adapt Chinese children because Asians are Asians, they are not African-American. They really don't have any bad stereotype with the exception of feminizing men, they are known to be smart and successful. Asian-Americans is the U.S. are labeled as the "model minority" group. Basically, it is easier to integrate an Asian child with a Caucasian family was the main reason. Interestingly, some said adopting am Asian child whose an infant is much easier for them to teach that child how to be like them and teach her the values of their…

    Public School System In The Early 1800s

    By 1879 the Children’s Aid Society had sent 40,000 homeless or destitute children to homes around the nation. The Children’s Aid Society led to orphan trains. Between 1890 and 1930 orphans were put on trains and shipped west to farming families, or to farms for labor. Foster care slowly replaced orphanages. In 1930, most orphanages were turned into small, friendly group homes and had the option of foster care. By 1970 foster care had completely replaced most orphanages.…

    Pros And Cons Of International Adoption

    Foreign countries often have less stringent requirements than American agencies. In addition, international home studies are often less rigorous than domestic ones. Admittedly, there are some countries with strict restrictions regarding which people may adopt their children. Nevertheless, the large number of countries that are willing to allow Americans to adopt their orphaned children increases most people’s chances of meeting the standards of eligibility for adoptive parents in at least one country. As such, international adoption provides an alternate source of children for Americans who may not qualify as eligible adoptive parents under domestic…

    Foster Care And Adoption Research Paper

    Reverend Charles Loring Brace created a system called orphan trains. This would send children by train to live on a farm to learn Christian values and be taught useful agricultural skills for their future. Parents often wanted Brace to take their children but other kids were chosen before them. Parents preferred orphanages over foster care because they didn’t want their children to love their foster families over themselves. Yet critics disapproved the thought of having people’s children raised by strangers. They thought unwilling parents were taking advantage of public institutions to take care of their own children. People argued that you should have to take care of your child because they are yours and the public’s problem. In the 1910’s the states intended to solve these problems and have parents raise their own children at home by initiating mothers’ or widows…

    Group Homes

    Orphanage conditions varied but they tended to be poor. Many orphanages were highly regimented, especially early in the century. Children marched to meals, ate in silence, wore uniforms and sometimes had their heads shaved. Corporal punishment was common and children were routinely beaten across the hands with leather straps. To make matters worse, orphanages were often dangerous. The mortality rate was not much better than living on the streets. Older, bigger, tougher kids bullied younger, smaller children. As hard as it was to leave kids at the mercy of some adults, it was much worse to leave them at the mercy of hundreds of kids. Living in an orphanage meant…

    International Adoption

    International adoption dates back to the early 1900’s and since then thousands of organizations and agencies provide access for families to adopt children that are suffering from poverty, abandonment, or rough situations that could potentially be life threatening. International adoption is great in many ways because it provides care for children in need that are not being taken care of. In 2004, nearly 23,000 orphans were imported into the U.S. by caring families waiting for a chance to help and take on a role to be a parent of an orphan from a different culture. Americans adopting orphans provide new opportunities through our education system and the skills to become successful, an unlikely trait if they would have continued to grow up in their circumstances. Most organizations provide a plan where you could completely adopt an orphan within a year. Since China has a one child per family limit most of the orphans in present times are coming from chinese based origins. Since 2004, adoption numbers have nearly been cut in half due to the new regulations other countries are putting in place to slow down the illegal adoptions. “In 2010, the number is likely to be fewer than ten thousand, and by 2013 below seven thousand. In addition to the closing of several prominent sending nations, like Guatemala and Vietnam, others have cut back”(Seabrook 7). Since the restrictions that China has put in place the average wait time today for an orphan is 6 years. Now this could be viewed as a good thing for kidnapping reasons, however there are going to be many…

    family law adoption scandals

    Inter country adoption has appealed to the public consciousness in two contradictory ways. Inter country adoption is presented as a heart heating act of good will that benefits both child and adoptive family on the one hand. The child is characterized as a bereft orphan doomed to a dismal future within a poor country. All the child is a chance and a home and that is provided to him by the adoptive parents , who with their love, sympathy and compassion provide the child with a new life.…
