Adoption
Adoption is
a process whereby a person assumes the parenting for another and, in so
doing, permanently transfers all rights and responsibilities, along
with filiation, from the biological 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. Adoption has changed considerably over the centuries with its
focus shifting from adult adoption and inheritance issues toward
children and family creation; its structure moving from a recognition of
continuity between the adopted and kin toward allowing relationships of
lessened intensity. In modern times, adoption is a primary vehicle
serving the needs of homeless, neglected, abused and runaway children.
