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.

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. Adoption… [cont.]

Why are people opposed to adoption not speak out against adoption from orphanges?
Q. Do children from orphanages not feel the need to know where they came from? It seems adoption is considered alright in this forum if you adopt from an orphanage or adopt from dead parents. Why? Just curious because a lot of people here talk about this problem or that problem but when it comes to adopting from orphanage, they are mum. What does it say when someone is dropping their child in an orphanage, Are people opposed to adoption also speaking out against people dropping their children in an orphanage? I know this is more than one question. You can answer one or all of them.

How much is a reasonable adoption fee for a cat?
Q. If you were going to adopt a cat from a rescue group, would a $100 adoption fee seem a lot if the cat comes already fixed, vaccinated, tested for disease, and all up to date on vet care?
Asked by <3 cats - Sun Nov 11 21:20:49 2007 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Sounds great! A spay /neuter would cost more than that. When I adopted my two cats, I had to pay $100 for vaccinations and then near $400 for the female to be spayed (she went into heat, so surgery was more), and about $250 for the male to be neutered. Instead of going to a cheap place, I used my vet for the surgeries and had the pre-surgery blood testing done and monitoring during the surgury. You can get your cat fixed some places for like $60, but it is bare bones. Regardless, $100 is a great price for adoption. It varies from place to place, but $100 is not unreasonable considering that the place had to pay for those vaccinations, spay/neuter, food, etc.
