im doing my thesis for college on inter country adoption.. and asked if anyone knew any services for children adopted into irish families that suffer the effects of institutionalisation and pretty much got attacked by some person who told me that i should adopt an irish child... why would i adopt a foreign child because charity begins at home...
is it just me or is that really rude?? beside the point i wanted it for research, but isnt it up to the adoptee to decide where they want to adopt from. also not many children are available for adoption in ireland.
i doubt irish children experience what russian and romanian orphans do... its cruel!
ohhhhh i feel so angry!! whats your opinion?

Hello,
Think about what the pop star Madonna did, and offer that to the person that almost attacked you, there are babies in the world no matter where they are, they did not ask to join us in this mortal struggle for love and life. A baby can only learn the language at where it hears people talk, and the mannerisms of the people where the baby is adopted to will soon teach the infant whether what it is doing is good naughty or indifferent.
Speaking for myself, I am a happily Married man of 42 anniversaries behind me, and my wife and I had 4 children of our own, and we adopted 7 others in the course of our lives together thus far. and we are an IRISH FAMILY. and not all the children are of Irish Origin, but they grew up to know love and have taken that love out of our home into a terrible world, and proved that a loving home-life will conquer all, by making there own lives happy. They are all grown now and are in relationships that have flourished and they, between them have provided my loving wife and I with 8 grandchildren, and do you think they are all still happy, you can bet your best boots they are, because I am called Grandad by 6 of them the other 2 are too young to know me yet, and one of them is yet to meet me, and he Bless him lives with his loving parents, in Galway.
Do you know what hurts my wife and I the most though? and I am tearful as I write this bit, we are now regarded st being too old to adopt any more needy children, Heaven help me, but I should write a book and give all the proceeds to the people that brought Our home, so much God Sent Happiness 7 was certaily a lucky number for us...My personal opinion therefore is That if you can help a child, go ahead, he needs you just as much as you need to make him or her, feel loved and wanted.... I do so hope this helps not just with your thesis, but also with your life too. Good luck and God Bless you for a nerve touching query.

Most of the process centres on assessing eligibility prior to adoption, I would be staggered if there was any adoption specific support of the type you describe, far more mainstream requirements are currently unfulfilled. The person you feel angry towards missed your point and is evidently unfamiliar with the realities of modern Irish adoption. It hasn't been the same since they shut those laundries.

If I wanted to adopt a child, I would choose the one I like, the one I am attracted to... Everyone has their likes... If there were a black kid and an Italian kid available for adoption and I could only adopt one, I would choose the one I like. If I take the black kid, the Italian one would want to be taken too. If I take the Italian kid, the black one would want to be taken too. So, how are you going to make your decision? The answer is: Choose one. When you choose, it reflects your desire. End of story. People need to grow up.

I agree, it's cruel and opinionated, and what is wrong with adopting a foreign child - they need love as much if not more than any other.

rude or not it was that persons opinion...and you did ask a question. i do agree with you, it was rude. it could have been put in a nicer way. just remember when you ask a question on here, you never know what your going to get hit with. oh by the way, don't adopt yet, finish school and then get a great job.

Yes it is rude
a child should not be denied a chance of a loving family because of race religion or colour!

i think it's great when anyone adopts any child,regardless of where they come from. There are so many kids out there who need someone.

Children should ideally stay within their roots but if that is not possible a loving family from anywhere is a great idea
