From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Adoption is a process whereby a person assumes the parenting for another who is not kin and, in so doing, permanently transfers all rights and responsibilities from the original parent or parents. Unlike guardianship or other systems designed for the care of the young, adoption is intended to effect a permanent change in status and as such requires societal recognition, either through legal or religious sanction. Historically some societies have enacted specific laws governing adoption whereas others have endeavored to achieve adoption through less formal means, notably via contracts that specified inheritance rights and parental responsibilities. Modern systems of adoption, arising in the 20th century, tend to be governed by comprehensive statutes and regulations. Adoption has a long history in the Western world, closely tied with the legacy of the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church. Its use has changed considerably over the centuries with its focus shifting from adult adoption and inheritance issues toward children and family creation and its structure moving from a recognition of continuity between the adopted and kin toward allowing relationships of lessened intensity.

GNU Free Documentation License How do adoptees feel about their adoptive parents? Q. I've been reading through the forum and I'm so worried. I would like to adopt a child from foster care soon. Do adoptees resent their new parents? I know their are abandonment issues but in general how do you feel about your AP? Did you go as a family to counseling? I want to learn as much as I can to help the new additions...when they come. Thanks! Thanks everyone for giving me some insight! I will definitely give my child all the information and encourage contact, if they want to. Asked by vegan_babycakes - Fri Mar 7 16:52:06 2008 - - 16 Answers - 0 Comments A. It depends on whether they are good adoptive parents or not. For example, I loved my adoptive mom (she's passed on now.) There was no reason to resent her. Now, if she'd been a really lousy mother, perhaps I would resent her. I do, however, resent a system that denies me equal treatment under the law simply because someone adopted me. But, that's not my adoptive mom's fault. Answered by LaurieDB - Fri Mar 7 16:58:07 2008 Telling adoptees how they should feel about adoption? Q. Why do so many people seem to think they have an obligation to tell adoptees how they should feel about their adoption? That we should be grateful, happy, and love our adoptive parents? What are they so scared of? For people who want to answer like "Freedom" did;' at least you were not tied to the back of a car and dragged naked through the middle of town answers' Would you talk to someone who wasn't adopted like that?

The parents will feel sad and hurt since they did all they could for you and you aren't grateful.
