These children can be adopted fo very minimal fees and many come with subsidies, International adoptions run $20-40,000. <br /><br />The reasons people given for preparing international adoption are as follows:<br /><br />- belief that kids in foster care are more "damaged" than kids adopted from orphanages, many of whom have fetal alcohol syndrome and other serious attachment issues<br /><br />- wanting younger children than are available from state social services<br /><br />- inability to be approved for adoption within the states because of age etc.<br /><br />- distance between them and the original family and unfounded fears of birth family members returning and being able to reclaim their kids.<br /><br />Lowering standards for adopting is not, in my opinion, beneficial for the welfare of these kids. They do have social needs and require parents who are equipped to handle that.<br /><br />The major problem is people CAN too easily adopt from overseas without being properly prepared and many of these adoptions end disaterously. This and most all problems are caused by the fact thatit is privately run on an entrepenaurial basis, not a child-centered practice. It is a multi-billion dollar industry with too few regulations.<br /><br />Finally, our government offers incentives and promotes adoption using kids in foster care as pawns, when in fact all of these efforts, particularly tax credits, are given equally to those who adopt from foster care as well as those who adopt internationally, and are in fact used more for the later than the former. <br /><br />The best way to ensure homes are secured for American kids who need them is to stop making it so easy to adopt internationally and supporting it with tax dollars.<br /><br />Mirah Riben, author.
