  • Some potential parents want babies only because they want to rear a child from babyhood.
  • Some potential parents will not adopt problem children.
  • Some potential parents will not adopt children of druggies or alcoholic or who have a serious chronic medical problem.
  • Some children waiting to be adopted put out negative vibes or put up a wall and do not accept the people who are doing a trial period with them.
  • Some people are afraid to adopt or physically or mentally are not capable of adopting or rearing children.
  • Some people believe that if they add another child to their family the other children will mistreat the adopted child.
