Adoption

I have to wonder why all the arguments about the intention by Madonna to adopt another child. Is adoption a good thing? In my opinion, oh yes!! There are so many children in the world who are really in dire need of help of all sorts.

One should always bear in mind that these children never asked parents to bring them into this world. It is quite pathetic sometimes to think of the circumstances surrounding the entry of these children into this world. Some of us in my opinion argue only because we want to feel like we always want to have a voice in every story that is going around. In essence our stories are pure wind and absolutely so substance.

It is easy for us to criticize persons who are trying to adopt children, but many of the critics have no idea what real needs feel like. Many recipients of adoption can tell wonderful stories of the transformation that adoption has done to their lives. I am sure that there are also people who could offer horror stories. In my opinion the good always outweigh the bad. According to adoption Statistics at least 120,000 adoptions are done each year. (Flango and Flango, 1994) I think that it is a wonderful work because adoptions in most circumstances always make at least two people at a time happy.

I think it is very encouraging to see the adoption statistics as listed on the Office of Children’s Issues, United States Department of State, looking at the statistics it is very apparent to me that many countries all over the world are allowing adoption of children. I hasten to say that these adoptions are NOT all done by celebrities.
Looking at the bigger picture however, I believe we have to be careful how we criticize people like Madonna who tries to adopt some poor and needy child. Maybe many of us need to follow in her footsteps in order to contribute to the happiness of a child somewhere in the world.
