There are various reasons why birth parents want to send their child for adoption. Some may not be ready for the responsibility in terms of financial means and some may not be mature enough or emotionally ready to deal with being a parent.
While some may feel that it is a burden to have a child, especially at such a ‘seemingly wrong time of their lives’, others consider it a blessing to have one.
It is easy to judge the birth parents if nobody knows the whole story about them but knowing what has made them arrive at such a decision can help other people understand where they are coming from.
Birth or biological parents have diverse situations. Some mothers have been under the influence of drugs at the time of pregnancy. Others are alcoholics or chain smokers.
Under these circumstances, if parents have not been able to undergo rehabilitation, it can be expected that they are not in their right mind to enter the world of parenthood. Other parents have children with special needs and perhaps due to lack of funds, the birth parents will not be able to afford therapies needed by the children.
Other parents have very wonderful dreams for their children, most parents do. They long for their children to be adopted by loving and happily married couples, mostly, although some are very open to single parent adoption.
Knowing the family story of the child to be adopted can help the adopting parents be more prepared of what they are getting into, more aware of how they can get to know and understand the child better.
There are various available adoption situations and these are constantly being posted online by birth parents to find people who are willing to adopt their child. In a way, it can be a positive thing, because the prospective adoptive parents can easily find children to adopt.
On the other hand, it is important to verify the websites where such situations are being posted. Not all of them may be exactly true, and finding that out that it is indeed not true may lead to feelings of disappointment for the adopting parents.
It is also recommended that the adopting parents check the agency that posted the adoption situation or advertisements. What are available adoption situations and what information is usually included in such?
Adoption situations usually include important details such as the age of the child, nationality, exposure to medicines, toxins and the like. Aside from this, current conditions, medications, therapies are also sometimes specified.
Other situations mention the fees required to be paid and some basic requirements. Admittedly, these situations posted online can be very beneficial to the agency, birth parents and the adoptive parents in finding the ‘perfect match’ easily.
These are usually based on interviews with birth parents and some questionnaires which they fill up. But while websites assist agencies and birth parents in finding adoptive parents, one must remember that they are not investigative agencies.
Thus, they cannot guarantee that the information posted is indeed authentic. It is therefore an absolutely necessity to verify information first prior to dealing with birth parents. This will save the prospective adoptive parents a lot of trouble in the future.
