How does the availability of consumer credit help to launch new products?
The availability of consumer credit does not help launch new products, rather, consumer credit may help push new products across the adoption curve faster.
Many consumer products are expensive to develop. New wireless phones, flat screen televisions, blu-ray players, etc. are prohibitively expensive at launch and will not get cheaper until further along the adoption curve (largely due to economies of scale in production and learning curve effects).
Without consumer credit, few of these products would have made it to reasonable price points as (1) most people don't carry that much money with them and (2) people want the safety provided by credit transactions in the event something goes horribly wrong.
For bigger-ticket items, like new cars, there would be no market without consumer credit helping to cover the price tag (no matter how low after being appropriately negotiated). In this case, financing is less involved in launching, rather, financing helps the automakers get to line productivity faster.

Can an adopted child be left out of the will?
yes and no. yes being you can be left out of the will the the chose of the person who wrote the will. no being if he/she leaves money of property to you or if he/she leaves money or property to the family of which you were adopted since being adopted means he/she was your legal parental guardian in every way by law. the part I'm not sure about is when an adopted minor, under 18, from and single guardian receives an allowance of money from set deceased guardian that they can't touch till they become an adult because once with the single guardian is gone the sole member of the immediate family is the adopted child who on his 18 birthday is an adult and no longer a dependent of set deceased guardian. the point is in wills make sure they use your full legal name.

In South Carolina, the practice of foster parents adopting foster children began to gain traction in the late 20th century, particularly during the 1980s and 1990s.

The Adoption Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980 also played a significant role in promoting adoption from foster care. Over time, this led to an increase in foster parents choosing to adopt the children in their care.
How does a poor person go about adopting a baby?
Here are more comments and answers from WikiAnswers contributors:
- My parents adopted my brother and sister through foster care and it didn't cost them a thing.
~ I would just like to add onto this answer... I don't know what you're current financial situation is however, when you ask a question like this with the word poor I would like to ask you one thing. Are you able to care for a child and provide them with everything they need to lead a happy and successful life? I'm not saying that "poor" people can't adopt children I just think that anybody no matter what they're situation should think seriously about how well they can care and raise a child. ~
No you can't-legally that would be criminal neglect.
Can a mother who put up a child for adoption search for the child and how?
email this guy. this is what he posted on the internet:
I know that are many people have discovered they have a sibling that was put up for adoption. I understand the range of emotions that this news brings forth. I have so many questions myself. I have been searching for over two years now for a sister that was put up for adoption in Odessa Texas. We think that she was born the end of 1949 or the beginning months of 1950 at the Gettins Clinic. She might not even know that she was adopted. I have learned a great deal about finding people. During my search I have helped several people find their loved ones. This has made all the time, money, and hard work worth while. If you need help let me know. I would like to help if I can. Sometimes it is impossible to find a family member as I have found, other times it's much easier than you think. LIN nilesnick@hotmail.com
Should a single women adopt a child or find a sperm donor instead?
This is something I'm wondering too, mostly because I feel that due to my age (30) I should probably take advantage of being in a healthier state to conceive a child physically prior to adopting. I'm not sure what to do either. Can someone give some good advice on this question i.e. as to the legal ramifications of both choices for single women and perhaps a timeline or the best countries for single women to adopt from?
How can a birth parent explain adoption to their child?
tell him/her the reason why you gave them up (e.g i was very young when you were born, too young to look after you and give you a proper life, the life you deserve, so i had to give you to someone else, someone i knew could give you a good life)
tell him/her how much you care about them
try and be there for him/her
don't push him/her and try and force them into forgiving you and talking to you or you will just push them away and don't stand in the way of them making their own discisions even if you think they are the wrong ones (except if they are illegal obviously)
spend time with them, just you and them, try and see them as much as possible, but ask them if its ok first, the child NOT the adoptive parents
hope I've helped x good luck x
If a child is in a pool accident what treatment and emergency procedures should be taken?
Depends on the severity of the accident. But for most pool accidents, you should call 911 and they will help you with any emergency steps that need to be taken.
Even if you pull the kid out and they appear to be fine they should be checked out in the emergency department as they can react later when water gets into their blood vessels from the lungs.
I was told this when my own son was pulled out of a pool. He was fine but not all kids are.
If it is severe enough to call 911 then you probobly don't know what exactly happened to cause the condition. For example if the kid is floating face down in the pool you don't know if he maby hit his head or suffered a spinal injury. 1. your first priority is establishing an airway, this superceeds any other concern including the danger of risking worse spinal injury by moving patient. send someone to call 911 while you turn patient face up trying to keep head inline with body if possible. check for breathing, if not breathing give 2 rescue breaths, remember small children have small lungs so don't blow too hard, Check for a pulse. if patient has a pulse you do not need CPR, DO NOT GIVE CHEST COMPRESSIONS IF PATIENT HAS A PULSE. if pulse is present continue giving rescue breaths 1 every 3 to 5 seconds. If patient vomits clear the airway and continue if not breathing on their own. If a pulse is absent you will need to perform CPR. You need to take a class on CPR because if it is done wrong you can seriously injure or kill your patient. if you get on the phone with an emergency operator stay on line with them till the medics arrive also they can talk you through the processes needed. You can take a CPR and first aid class at a local red cross in just a few hours and for about 60 bucks. you will be so glad you did it if you ever need it, you don't want to be there with your injured child and be helpless to do anything.
ADDITIONAL IDEAI learned something surprising in CPR class--if someone appears to be drowning, you can startrescue breathing IMMEDIATELY--you don't have to get the water out of them like you see on T.V.ANY air you can get into their lungs, regardless of water in their mouth or lungs, may bejust enough oxygen to save their life..Here are some signs that you may be pregnant... 1.

Depending on the country it can be much easier to adopt a baby. In China girls are lower on the food chain than boys so adopting a baby girl is easier. One must remember that money also speaks volumes in different countries, but, in many cases it's still easier to adopt in another country than in Western countries. A couple has the option of going through a lawyer to adopt as well or, a surrogate mother. This will also call for a lawyer's advice.
