Why do psychologists study children that have been adopted?

It allows psychologists to identify the differences between nature (what you are born with and cannot be changed, such as genetics) and nurture (what you learn from your surroundings and your environment.) For example, if the child's parents have schizophrenia and the child was adopted for some reason, it would be interesting to see if the child developed schizophrenia later on in life. If the child didn't develop schizophrenia, then the argument would be that you develop schizophrenia from your surroundings, it is learnt. However, if the child did develop schizophrenia, then it is more likely to do with genetics and therefore cannot be changed. Schizophrenia is just an example. It can be applied to lots of areas such as criminal behaviour, aggressive behaviour, mental disorders, illnesses and so forth.

Which countries have children available for international adoption?

We are adopting from China. I have heard that Guatemala, Russia, India and Vietnam also adopt out internationally. Many, many countries have children available for intercountry adoption. For a few years Vietnam put a ban on it, but recently lifted this ban. Some countries are very particular about who can adopt. For example Korea insists that you meet certain weight requirements! If you are over 30% of the ideal weight for someone of your height they won't consider you. Other countries won't allow you to adopt: * unless you can prove you are infertile * if you have been divorced more than once * if you have more than a certain number of children already in your home Your age is also important depending on your preference for the child's age. Generally, the older you are, the older the child you will be eligible for. Answer>>>>>> My teacher is adopting a baby from India.

What if a young girl is pregnant and wants to keep her baby but mom thinks she should give it up for adoption.?

That is a difficult position to be in. A lot of it depends on the age of the "young girl." Has she finished high school? Is she old enough to get a job, get her own apartment, buy her own food, support her baby? "Wanting" is very different from "doing." Who will watch the baby when this young girl is at school? Is it fair to the girl's mom and dad to expect them to support another person if this young mom can't do it? What will the girl be able to do and not do. But most of all is it good for the baby?

What kind of life will this new person have? Will there always be arguments and hard financial times? Will he/she be able to get a good education and always feel loved, or will there be resentment both from the new mom for all the things she now may not be able to do and the grandparents. And, what about Dad? As a mom myself I understand the young girl's position. My daughter is 19, I'm not sure how I would advise her in this situation, but I would tell her that once you become a mom, it's not about YOU any more. This new person did not ask to come here, but deserves the best life possible and it's up to you as the mom to make sure your child gets it, and sometimes that means making hard decisions. Good luck and may your heart and mind be clear.

What is the conflict with surrogate mothers?

Usually, the conflict will be the mother felt in love with the baby and want to keep the baby with her.

Like, the truth was completely different with the agreement.

If you are currently working with an adoption agency but have signed no papers concerning placing your baby up for adoption can you change your mind at time of birth?

YES! Sign NOTHING. Keep your baby! They cannot take your child until you sign. DON'T SIGN. And while you're at it, don't let them IN the hospital, keep them out, try parenting and don't let anyone guilt you into making any type of adoption plan. PAP's will get another baby, this is NOT about them. This is about what your child needs, and that is YOU.

What is some examples of trust?

It's where you feel completely safe with whatever it maybe. 100% honestly, if you mean trusting a person? Than trust would be someone you know very well, and believe in them, to be honey to tell youths truth and not ever hurt you. Trusting in someone, is a risk if you do not know them that well, or you'd be taking that risk. Kinda like getting into a car and driving. You'd be trusting yourself to keep your eyes on the road and drive safely. But you'd also be trusting every single car on the roads with you, same as the stop lights. You trust that the cars driving across you will stop when your light turns green as well as they trust yours as well. Same with parents, and children. Children need to earn their parents trust. Because they are trusting their kids to tell them the truth, being honest is an awesome habit to have. But once you are dishonest,and caught well than that trust they once had for youis gone. That when they give you chances to earn their trust back. Put it this way, trust is a give and take thing. I mean you want people, businesses, family, ext to be honest with what they say to you. Just as much as others expect you to be honest with them. No one likes a liar. And a liar, or dishonest person will never make it in this world. What comes around goes around....

If you want to give your parents the right to care for your child and also pay for your child as her parents you have to go through a third party. Otherwise her papers wont be in order either and that wont help her in the future. And your parents wont have any legal documents that you gave up your rights to them.

Why should children not be able to contact their biological parents?

There are multiple reasons why adopted children should not be allowed to contact their biological parents, however this is dependent on the reasons why the children was put into foster/adoptive care.

For example, some children are removed from their biological parent's care due to a matter of them not being able to care for the child, they may have broken the law are not fit to have the child. Considering this, the child, at the age of 18 are allowed to look into their biological parents if they wish. This is because they will no longer need permission. Many children choose not to do this as they settle with the adoptive families and feel no reason to contact their biological parents.

Some children are placed for adoption as their parents feel it is the better option for the well being of the child. However, in these case the parents often opt for an open adoption which is designed so that the biological parents are still allowed relatively regular contact with their child.

In this case, i believe it is fully acceptable for the child to have contact with the parent

As long as the biological parent did no wrong by the child, i believe they should be able to contact their parents

Can anyone force you to let someone else adopt your son without your permission?

Both parents have to sign the papers except in Utah where the father only needs to be notified. There are also cases where the woman says she has no idea who the father is so unless the man stays in touch and see she is pregnant his chances are very small. The CPS can also decide on adoption (the court decides) if the parents are not fit. But if you mean force you to sign, no that is up to you.
