Adoption is a major life event for adoptive parents, children, siblings and extended family members. While adopting a child is a joyful feeling for the whole family, it can also lead to problems and challenges.
Here are some common adoption problems and challenges
Financial challenges
Adopting through a domestic public agency is much less expensive than adopting through a private agency. Adoption of a child from a foreign country will likely cost the most. The type of adoption, location, legal fees, agency fees possible expenses of the birthparents, and potential tax credits, benefits or government subsidies are all factors to consider when estimating the total cost of adoption. Your adoption preferences and personal financial situation will determine the extent of financial burden, if any, the adoption process will produce.
Emotional problems
Adoption can create emotional problems. A newly adopted child may struggle with the transition and have difficulty sleeping, or develop strange eating habits. Child Welfare Information Gateway states that adopted children may be depressed and struggle with low self-esteem. As an adoptive parent, you may also feel depressed or discouraged if you are not bonding with your adoptive child as quickly. Counselling, time and communication can help smooth the emotional transitions following an adoption.
