Family Forum / Parenting / Adoption / December 2006Jolie claims adoptive parents more suitable
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds41060.html Jolie claims adoptive parents more suitable Sunday, December 24 2006, 23:28 GMT By David Cribb Angelina Jolie believes parents who adopt children are more suited to the role than biological parents. The actress, who has two adopted children herself, claims the intricate assessments that prospective adopters have to experience leave any successful applicants perfectly suitable for the job. "It should be hard to be a parent period. I go through many things to adopt," she recalls. "I'm finger-printed, I'm checked, I go through home studies. I have to prove I'm a decent citizen; a good human being. "That didn't happen to me when I gave birth, so it's interesting that there's no background check when you bring a child into your home in that way." > http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/article/ds41060.html > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > there's no background check when you bring a child into your home in > that way." I wonder if Mother Goose realises she has just insulted 99% of her entire fan club?

I do not think she insulted anyone, she merely stated a known fact. There are no homestudies for "biological" families.

You seem to know better than me what goes on in my own head - I did not even know I would think what you write that I said. Amazing. You should advertize your extra- sensorial powers. What I wrote is that it is a FACT that adoptive parents have been checked - however imperfectly, this is debatable indeed - and parents of bio families are not - not at all. That is a fact. Now you can debate how much the likehood of child abuse is reduced throught the pre-adoption screening process - frankly I do not know, but I suppose it's better that 0%.

Yeah, every-f.cking-body should have a case file with a f.cking social worker who rates their suitability for f.cking everything... Adoption is state-created parenthood, the state has a nominal responsibility to ensure that it isn't dispensing children to sociopaths, cannibals and pedophiles. The state doesn't create or regulate biological families, and I believe that rankles some folks. We've gone a little bit down the road of the state making decisions about who and who should not parent biologically, namely involuntary sterilization and eugenics. Oh, and don't forget the Baby Snatch Era.

To be truthful, how many times have we heard the same sentiments expressed by prospective adoptive parents and/or newbie adoptive parents? I am going to chalk it up to her inexperience, and hope Jolie will learn as she goes. Kathy Yeah?? Obviously this woman didn't have my A-mom |
