What is the benefits on adoption?

There are many benefits to adoption. First for the biological parents they know that their child is safe and will be raised in a stable environment that they alone couldn't provide. Most adoptive parents (the ones adopting the child) can not have children of their own and adopting allows them to raise and love a child like their own. Also the adoptive parents may be able to have a mixed family that is one that has a combination of biological and adopted children. The child that is adopted gets many benefits, one of which is being raised in a loving home. If the child was adopted in an open adoption they may be able to keep in contact with their biological family. A benefit I have experienced as an adopted child is that I get to share my experience and memory of being adopted with other adopted kids.
