I want people to rank the top 5 reasons children choose to be adopted?

Question

I just want the top 5 not all the reasons

Answer 1

1) they want to live with someone permanently
2) they want less kids to stay with
3) they want more clothes
4) have a real mom and a real dad
5) more toys

Answer 2

SOME children DO choose to be adopted. Generally these are older children in foster care and they are given the choice as to whether or not they want to be open to adoption. There's about 114,000 of them virtually all over 5 years old, about half of them children of color, and many with some issues. For these children, there is a desire for permanency, probably a fear of being dumped out of the system with absolutely no support at 18 years old, a need to feel like they belong to a family, and I just don't know their individual reasons. But there are several visits with the potential adoptive family to see if all the members feel good about the situation prior to going forward with the adoption. Hope this answers your question.

Answer 3

Infant children do not "choose" adoption any more than they "choose" to be born. However, if you are referring to children who are in foster care, I can tell you the reasons my cousins chose adoption (after being in foster care).

1) Permanency - no more jumping from home to home.
2) Safety - they felt safe with these foster parents after all the abuse they encountered previously.
3) Sense of family - finally somewhere they "belonged".
4) Embarrassment - my cousins openly admit that they were "embarrassed" to be foster kids.
5) A chance at Love - a chance to feel and experience love - something they didn't feel they had jumping from foster care home to foster care home.

Answer 4

Sorry but children don't get to choose adoption. I really don't think that is correct. I mean it would be really interesting to see a 3 day old child state a reason to be adopted.

Answer 5

I think that the PARENTS choose to place the kid for adoption. I have never heard of a child adopting themselves out.

Answer 6

Children don't choose to be adopted even if they have alcoholic parents, I assure you.

Did you mean to say: 5 reasons for putting children up for adoption? If so, then:

1- money (mother can't afford to raise child)
2- abuse/molesting/etc
3- drinking/drugs problems
4- freedom (for parents who don't want to take responsibility)
&
5- health problems (for either the child or his/her parents)

I hope my answer is helpful...
Those are just the ideas that popped up to my head... didn't look it up or anything.

Have a nice day.

Answer 7

The children choose?

Answer 8

i think that a foster child who has been removed from their natural family for abuse and neglect, who shouldnt go back to their parents would choose adoption because they:

1-are told by social workers thats the next step...
2- that if they want a permanent family, then they'll have to be adopted
3-they need love
4-structure
5-guidance

Answer 9

1 They want security and a mommy and daddy.
2 They want to be loved and a mommy and daddy.
3 They want to have a family and a mommy and daddy.
4 They are aching to settle somewhere and have a mommy and daddy.
5 They want to live a normal life, with a mommy and daddy

Answer 10

Whoa! I had a choice? Holy poopers, I wasn't aware that I had any thoughts beyond who is this stranger holding me and where is lunch?

Very few children choose to be adopted and when they do it is usually kids who have been in foster care for many years or kids asking a step-parent to adopt them.

Answer 11

Children don't choose to be adopted they just for some unforseen reasom end up in that situation.
