Hola

Adopting from the UK was the first option, however, the UK has so much red tape where adoption is concerned that by the time the child is available for placement they are 4-5 years old and have been in care from an early age, children past 3 years of age that have been in care have many mental issues that are never erradicated – such a sad issue to be honest.

Our LA said there were no children when we applied (Hampshire) so we moved to the next country where adoption was “well known” in the UK and under the Hague convention.

We have been on courses on how to integrate our child/ren, with us being well travelled people I know we will accomplish this very well and make that child/ren a highly intellectual and strong individual, we will be taking our child/ren back to visit where their roots come from.

Adoption is a hard game for all parties but I still strongly believe that a child/ren is better in the care of a living family than in an orphanage forever :)

Thanks for your comments.

Have you seen the dying rooms? Do you know much about Inter Country Adoption?

The hard truths are a difficult pill to swallow, let me assure you. There are many children in China who just don’t make it, in fact there are only a handful of orphanages that are allowed to put their children up for adoption – why? Because the orphanages are so badly run and the children so badly treated they cannot open them up for the world to see because this wouild bring on a human rights war and would prevent foreigners adopting/buying their children from China, please do not have any illusions where inter country adoption is concerned it is not all roses and chocolates and sweet coo coos. These children are crammed together in cots, with no affection, they are bottle fed but the bottle is rammed into the bars and they help themselves. If you want a harsh reality into thie world then watch The Dying Rooms.
