Is it really necessary for adopted parents to change their adopted children's last names?
When you get adopted you become one of their family and cut the ties with your former family. Most adoptive children never sees their biological parents again so having a strangers last name would make them feel not a part of the family.
How does adoption affect the child?
Adopted Children who are provided with so much love do not feel they are adopted. But maltreated children do feel the absence of their real parents.
What do you fromerly call your parents if you are adopted?
Depends. Some children who have contact with both they're biological and adoptive parents refer to both sets as "mom & dad". So I would talk to both sets and ask what they feel comfortable as to what you should call you're biological parents.
Why do adopted children search for their birth parents?
They feel like they need to find them in order to feel like they belong again.
How do kids feel and cope with cultural adoption?
Depends opn the child and how the adoptive parents introduce them to it. Everyone is different. Small children adapt to the culture they are raised in.
Why should children not be able to contact their biological parents?
There are multiple reasons why adopted children should not be allowed to contact their biological parents, however this is dependent on the reasons why the children was put into foster/adoptive care. For example, some children are removed from their biological parent's care due to a matter of them not being able to care for the child, they may have broken the law are not fit to have the child. Considering this, the child, at the age of 18 are allowed to look into their biological parents if they wish. This is because they will no longer need permission. Many children choose not to do this as they settle with the adoptive families and feel no reason to contact their biological parents. Some children are placed for adoption as their parents feel it is the better option for the well being of the child. However, in these case the parents often opt for an open adoption which is designed so that the biological parents are still allowed relatively regular contact with their child. In this case, i believe it is fully acceptable for the child to have contact with the parent As long as the biological parent did no wrong by the child, i believe they should be able to contact their parents
What emotional issues may adopted children have?
Adopted children will tend to ask if you're their biological parents or family because they'll feel indifferent and the curiosity about "Who am I?". The type of emotional issues they develop is identity, depression, and abandonment.
What is the difference between adoption and foster care?
Foster care is a situation where children are treated and cared for as a member of a family but they are legally a ward of the state and may retain a connection with their birth parents. Adoption means that you take on the name of and become a legal child to the people that have adopted you.
Should you run away if you are adopted?
No, running away is not usually the best solution if you are adopted. It's important to talk to your adoptive parents and share your thoughts and feelings with them. They might not be aware of your concerns and can work with you to find a solution that works for everyone. If you feel unsafe or need additional support, you can also reach out to a trusted adult or counselor for help.
How can an adopted 18-year-old find their biological parents?
The best way to start would be by asking your adoptive parents if they know the names of your birth parents. If they don't, then ask them if they will help you find them. But before you begin this discussion with them, you have to know they may be upset by it, and may not want to talk about it. But this is a natural reaction with adoptive parents; they may feel you would only be hurt by trying to contact your birth parents. If you're of legal age, then you can try searching for them on your own, without permission from your adoptive parents. There are many sites for finding people, but unless you know their names, that won't help you any. But many adoption agencies keep a record on file with the adoptive parents signed consent for the child to contact them when s/he is older. So if you can at least find the name of the adoption agency, or the name of the attorney who handled your adoption, they would be a good place to start.
Should Adopted Children find out about their Birth Parents?
Yes/No Situation. It's something an individual will want to know, to complete them. Without knowing, there will be an empty hole - a missing piece to the puzzle of you. On the other hand, your birth parents didnt want you, they left you. Does that not hurt? Why would you want to find them and interfere with your happy life?
Do children become weak without their parents?
Yes it does, because parents care for their children and support them and so the child becomes aware that he or she are safe and have support. Also it depends, if they know their parents, and if their parents have left them, or put them in a care home, to be fostered, then obviously they feel as if they have been abondened, children need their parents for support, and to feel loved. But, if then don't know who their parents really are, what is there to be weak about? They'll get adopted, and soon they'll realise, they found new parents who actually love them, and so their put their biological parents are their past.
