Reaction Article #2

My Reactions:
According to Pat Wingert in "Why fewer Americans are adopting children overseas," Foreign adoptions have decreased gradually in these recent years. People said that it might be the influence of political issues.
Most of the countries now are having the problem of low birth rate, people are not willing to raise a child. This is why the governments are asking people to adopt orphan among their own nation. But, is it proper to concern adoption with political issues? In my opinion, adopting children should not be restricted by political issues. Adoption is a personal choice and of course the government has no right to interfere with their decision.
Besides, there are two reasons why people do not want to adopt. Children in some countries are getting older and they are not easy to be chosen. The other is that it is quite different to be approved and is much more expensive since human trafficking of orphans is getting serious.
Although I have no experience of adopting any child before, but I know having a child means responsibility. It is a lifetime commitment. You have to take care of her/him and threat her/him as your family member. To help them get away from shadow.
