Foster adoption in Canada is a great deal different than that in the USA. I can understand why citizens of the US may have a negative attitude toward adoption. There seems to be a great lack of social workers, money, etc. And kids fall through the system. I have also heard and read a lot about the need for better systems while choosing adoptive parents. Also in both Canada and the U.S there is a lot of controversy over international adoptions, as they are not always done ethically, and often the APs are misinformed about where their new child is coming from and the circumstances of the child's placement, including babies that are actually kidnapped from their mothers in order to feed the demand of international adoption. That is so scary.It has only been in recent years that Canada has really put reform forth in order to protect natural parents, children, and aps. Imagine never knowing where you come from...even if you have the best aps in the universe, it should be everyones right to know their own history. Canada has just begun to release this info on a regular basis in the past 10 years.What I have just written only scratches the surface of why some have issue with adoption and adopt an anti-adoption stance.
