American Babies for Adoption
How They "Find" More American Babies for Adopters
The following links provide information about the demand for babies
and how the United States government assists agencies, lawyers and
individual adopters in "finding" babies.
Adoption Reform Ideas - To Protect Both Prospective Adopters and
Natural Family
1) Outlaw all solicitation for babies. (We don't solicit living
people for their kidneys and we shouldn't solicit living people for
their sons and daughters, either.)
2) Give families time after a child is born to discuss things. (In
S. Australia I think no relinquishment is valid prior to two weeks
following birth.) Give fathers time to establish paternity.
3) Provide mother, father and other family members information regarding
the risks of pshychological and other effects of separation/adoption.
4) Both mother and father (if one is recognized by the court) must
sign.
5) Have an unpressured revocation period with no prospective adopter
selected until AFTER the revocation period is over for both parents.
(In S. Australia I think this is 25 days.)
6) Do not change information on the birth certificate or seal it.
Every human being has a right to know who they really are.
(Pregnant and new Moms should already be covered by the state for
any absolutely necessary expenses, so there is no need for "down-payments"
on babies.)
This would protect prospective adopters and it would protect the
child's right to her natural family.
