Global Adoption Services,Inc. It is the responsibility of agencies or others involved in international adoption to find families for children, not children for families. Preferably this environment should be that of the child's birth home. If such a home cannot be found within a reasonable amount of time, foreign adoption should be considered by the country or agency representing the child. No child deserves to languish in an institution when loving parents from another country can be found to meet the child's needs.
Nations are responsible for the care of all their citizens including their children.
All countries which allow international adoption have the right and responsibility to ensure the safety of their orphaned children. In granting adoptive parents approval to adopt, the nation is allowing a precious resource to leave the country. Therefore, international adoption must be considered a privilege, not a right. International adoption takes time, patience and perseverance. Agencies and adoptive parents must be aware of this and understanding with regard to the complexities involved.
