In an ideal world every human will be able to have a picket white fence life but reality is not always in ones favour. There are some people whom are not lucky to have the gift to be a parent. Then again one would believe that being a parent requires love and care and not matching genetics.
I recently interviewed a man whom him and his wife adopted a baby girl when she was just six months old and today she is an adolescent.
I asked what the requirements were for adoption was when he and his wife were adopting their baby girl. I was informed that the following was the requirements were the following:
1) A married couple can adopt.
2) The couple who’s adopting must have a house (their own house).
3) The couple will be asked a question. Why do they wish to adopt?
The answer to the question as to why they wish to adopt did not shock me as there are many couples in the world whom struggle to conceive children. They adopted as they could not conceive their own children. They even had to wait three months to receive their daughter as they adopted through a social worker .
I was told that they told their daughter when she was four years old that she was adopted. His daughter was not shocked when learning that she was adopted as he states at that age they learning to understand. I am rather astonished to hear that his daughter did not take the news of her adoption as surprise. I was flabbergasted that his daughter has told her adopted parents that she is not going to look for her biological parents. The couple have expressed their gratitude towards adopting their daughter. Every parent believes their child is very special and this couple is no different.
I have asked this gentle man his views on adoption and he has stated that adoption is the “best thing any couple or anybody can do. It changes your life”.
My thirst for greater knowledge on adoption continued after this interview and I went on to research celebrities that have adopted. I have found that Miss Universe 1994 Sushmita Sen had adopted a child at the age of twenty- four as a single parent .In 2010 she adopted her second child as a single parent.
Sushmita Sen revealed how she used a game to break it to her first daughter that she was adopted. Sushmita Sen game worked very well the first time, that she repeated it when it was time for second daughter to know the truth too.
Sushmita Sen played a game of opposites, for example tall and short and etc. She later said adopted and biological. Her eldest daughter then said ‘I’m adopted?’ Sushmita Sen replied saying: yes, biological is boring. You are special; you’re born from the heart. Sushmita Sen was glad that the game worked both times like magic.
In cases of adoption, the adoptive parents are not too keen on their children seeking out their biological family. Sushmita Sen left that choice open to both her daughters. After she told her eldest daughter she is adopted and that she has a choice opened to search for her biological parents. Her eldest daughter replied: ‘No, I don’t want to find out.
An adult movie actress, Sunny Leone and her husband flabbergasted the world when they decide to adopt a female child. The child that was adopted by Sunny Leone and her husband was initially turned down by eleven prospective parents before she had been adopted.
While many adoptive parents are often very concerned about whom they bring into their homes and have a lot to speak about an adoptive child’s physical appearance, skin colour as well as medical history. Yet without looking at a child’s colour, background and health status, Sunny Leone and her husband happily adopted a child. Sunny Leone and her husband did not try to bend the rules and stood in the queue like all the other parents who was waiting to adopt.
Sunny Leone has an interest to tell her adoptive daughter that she is adopted. According to the actress, her daughter will have to know that her mother did not abandon her and that she bore her for nine months. Sunny reportedly feels that she is connected to her adoptive daughter by her soul and that after adopting her she is her mother now.
I have come to the conclusion that adoption is not a form of charity but rather a blessing. I encourage all parents in the world whom are struggling to conceive children to adopt a child as it really is the best action any one can do. It really does change one’s life.
