Hypothetical question about adopting out my 5 year old?

Question

First of all, happy St. Patricks day to all! (Even if I am a day off!)

My weaker but absolutely above average half Nermina and I have 2 children. Our five year old son Amir and our 8 year old daughter Mirela. My wife is a native European, so you know she is a little above average from the get go.

The highlight of my banal family is my daughter. A chip off the old block, I sense that she will be a dynamic leader someday, and will make some guy a fantastic wife. She is already reading theology, and sometimes will even correct me! She is an A student, very gregarious, and well learned.

My son Amir is just there, doing whatever it is that he does. Sometimes he still scribbles, for Chrimity sakes. His deepest thought is whether or not some crappy cartoon is funny or not.

Hypothetically, if a person wanted to put a child up for adoption, is that possible? Or would that get the government all worried about the whole family?

Blessings.

Answer 1

WOW, um, I'm pretty sure you can just put one kid up for adoption without worrying about the other kid being taken too. I dont know for sure though

Answer 2

Hypothetically speaking, a 5 year old placed for adoption due to displaying an intellect that does not live up to or exceed parental expectations or stand up to comparison of another older sibling would most likely cause investigation of the entire family. Further it would very possibly encourage the officials responsible for such issues, to remove all other children from the parental home as well.

The essence of parental rights does not allow for children of normal intelligence to be discarded as a manufacturer would discard a 'defective' product. Somewhere within the parental gene pool normal intelligence lies, however a normally intellectual individual, when properly parented, can and often does exceed beyond that of even highly intelligent individuals. Tossing a 5 year old into the system to possibly become lost in the fray or worse, puts into question the true intellect of the parents.

Answer 3

I hope you are just Kidding. The child is only 5 years old for Christ Sake. He is doing what all five year olds do. You are a terrible Parent and do not deserve Children. He would be better off with an Adoptive Parent who would Love him and help him become a Productive individual in Society one day
Maybe your son would be more pleasing if he was shown some Love by his Parents...

Answer 4

I would hope the government would be worried about the whole family, because you obviously aren't. Even if it is possible to place one child for adoption, how do you think that would affect your daughter (let alone your son)? She has a brother but since he can't "make the grade", he was placed for adoption. What happens the first time she has a failure?

For both your children, I hope someone does get involved and finds a home for them where LOVE lives.

Answer 5

i think that social services would get involved with the whole family, its kind of odd to put only 1 child up fo adoption for the reasons that your stating...they would probably monitor your family for a while to make sure that your daughter is in a good environment...

this hypothetical question of yours is also so dumb...boys and girls develop at a different rate..and you clearly show favortism towards the girl...that must make your boy feel so insecure and so rejected...he sounds like a typical, happy five year old...why would he beed to worry about reading and what not...he needs to enjoy being a little boy..maybe your daughter is growing up to fast...maybe you are pushing her to hard and she might later hate you...i dont know about your family all i know is the info that you provided...

if you really feel this way about your son than you are an idiot and dont deserve the privelage to be a parent...btw...you are going to get some strong responses for posting this question...

Answer 6

Boys mature much more slowly than girls do and occasionally the late bloomers are the ones to really watch!! Were you always as wonderful as you have touted? You need to do some serious reflecting!! Shame on you for even thinking that about your son. Maybe if you spent some time with him and gave him a little loving guidance he would pull out of the immaturity, but oh yeah, HE IS FIVE.

Answer 7

thats just a sick thing to even think about, yes the cps would be invovled and be watching the welfare of your family. sounds like your son is a typical 5 yr old, u cant pick and chose with child u want and dont want just because theya rent like the other child, showing favoritism like you are is going to hurt him in the long run and he will recent u the rest of his life, grow up not all children are the same. and i hope for your childrens sake u dont have any more children. How can u be so cold to a child u created? Poor kid

Answer 8

To me is sounds like you spend alot of time with your daughter but not nearly enough with your son. He is 5, try spending some time with him, you are his father...Keep doing what you are doing, and your son will resent you and eventually hate you and it is a long road back from there...just ask my ex..luckily he woke up and is now trying to rebuild his relationship with his son.. If you can't be bothered doing this, then you need to give up BOTH your children, does your wife feel the same way? If so, you both need some help, if not, she needs to take the kids and leave your sorry *ss

Answer 9

I can't believe you even asked this question, what kind of father are you to even think of putting a child up for adoption becuase they are not as smart as you would like. Give both children up for adoption, give them a chance at life. Your a bad parent, you don't deserve children.

Answer 10

Yes its perfectly ok to adpt your child out. Only 5? Some loving family is looking for a child of 5.

Answer 11

First off, I have to tell you CHILDREN ARE GIFTS, priviledges that not everyone on this good green earth deserve. And you, my good sir, appear to be one that DOESN'T deserve his children.
Do you have no compassion? Are you that much of a perfectionist that you would "throw" away your son because he "appears" to be below your standards? To me, your son seems to be a typical 5 year old, perfectly normal....And will probably someday make you EAT your own words.
