1741 Words7 Pages

INTRODUCTION
Most persons think child bearing and parenthood is a natural process of life. Nobody ever thinks of nurturing an unrelated child. Even when infertile, they prefer to adopt a young infant so as to get the same experience as they would’ve gotten with a child of their own. They only resort to adoption of an older child when they have no option of younger ones. In a country with millions of orphans in institutions and on the streets, the rate of adoption is very low- around 3000 per year in country with almost negligible adoptions of the disabled.

The petitioners stated that even after nine years of adoption CARA has not issued NOC.

    Canada upholds that the best interests of the child are central to the decision making process on humanitarian and compassionate applications. “[T]he rights, interests, and needs of children and special attention to childhood are important clauses that should be considered in reasonably interpreting the “humanitarian” and “compassionate” considerations that guide the exercise of discretion” (Baker v.

Before placing a child into the hands of someone else their background should be thoroughly examined before they are approved. They should have a trial period where the adoptee can bond with their potential adoptive parents to see if they match because the child's happiness is the top priority for the process.

    Institutionalisation can also severely affect a child’s development, but this can sometimes be recovered when the child is adopted. The child’s physical features like height, weight and head circumference can suffer during this time. Also, cognitively a child’s IQ can be off a normal range if adopted around their 3rd birthday but when it comes to school performance the cognitive performance can lag cognitive competence. Also, when it comes to emotional development, a study of Romanian adoptees demonstrated that attachment was affected if the child wasn’t adopted before they were 12 months old compared to secure attachments likely to be achieved before then, but babies adopted under 6 months showed normal attachment patterns during early childhood.

Some believe it is socially acceptable for a single parent to adopt a child and that “single prospective adopters of both genders can have much to offer to an adopted child” (The Telegraph Tim Ross), others think that singles should not be able to adopt. In some eyes they see that a child needs two parents so a child can grow up having a mother and father figure to look up to, and by having two parents, one can fill in the other part when one is sick or tired or so on.
