What are some logical and emotional reasons for overseas adoption?
Well, the emotional reasons for overseas adoptions are probably humanitarian ones. Children available for adoption by foreigners are generally the poorest of the poor, often living in regions torn apart by war, disease and famine. Some children in orphanges have been legally relinquished by families, others are foundlings with their parents either dead or presumed dead. It is human nature to want to help people in such dire conditions, to want to provide a home for a child who desperately needs it. Logical reasons fall along the same lines as any adoption. A family wants to grow by means of adoption, international adoption is simply one route to that. A responsible perspective adoptive parent looks at all of the options available for adoption, researches everything thoroughly and completely before making the best decision for their family. Sometimes the best decision involves a child born in a different country. I hope this helps some. If you are interested in more specifics, feel free
