GermanWikipedia has an article on: AdoptionNounAdoption f. (genitive Adoption, plural Adoptionen)
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 What qualifications are needed to conduct adoption home studies? Q. I have always been attracted to a career in adoptions. Currently, I am a teacher. What type of certification/degree to people who do adoption home studies have? Asked by OceanGirl99 - Fri Jan 2 19:56:18 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. It depends on where you are at. In my state, a degree in almost any area of study...usually a human type field, such a counseling, teaching, criminal justice...Social work (BSW), will get you a job as a case manager in the state social service system and yes many of them refer to themselves as 'social workers' even though they do not hold a degree in social work. Now, to do home studies...you usually have to hold a Master's Level...MSW, for instance, to do them on your own. You could possibly do home studies under a contractor (you would be a sub contractor) if you only hold a Bachelor's level degree. We have teachers who write insightful studies which are often better than those done by BSW or MSW level social workers.

Inspired by another question, I'd like to know what is discussed when an adoption speaker goes to a schools? Is it strictly adoption, or is ther family preservation included? Any and all details would be appriciated. Asked by Lori A - Wed Apr 15 08:36:33 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. I was invited to speak at a high school in my area. They wanted to hear about my experience. So, I told them about being sent away, and being forced against my will to surrender my child. I also told them about the civil rights violations that were part of a woman's existence in the 1960s. These rights violations included such practices as expelling pregnant students and firing pregnant workers, as well as taking babies from unmarried mothers without cause. I also talked about my search and reunion, and my support for work in family preservation.

Q. I have been thinking that it would be great to start an orphanage/adoption agency in a foreign country that has a lot of orphans and kids living on the streets. I was thinking about China. I know that a lot of people adopt children from there. I was just curious about what financial and political steps that I would have to go through to do something like this. Asked by WolfmanX - Sun Jul 19 23:37:58 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Kazi made great points. bottom line is that you have LOTS of homework to do. first step will be to select a country...and then start reading. rules will be different in each country (obviously you'll have to know the law from both U.S. and that country for a start). I would suggest interviewing directors of agencies already working in that country. they can quickly coach you on the cities to stay away from or to focus on areas that still need help. good luck and be patient. there is much to learn and some countries (i.e. Russia) change their adoption policies and rules very often.
