There are children all over the world who need love. You see famous entertainers travel to the far reaches of the world to adopt a child and bring them back to America. Many agencies are setup to do international adoption. Many people adopt from poorer nations in Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America and bring the child to our culture giving them opportunities that they would have never gotten if they had stayed in their nation.
I believe that any child who needs love and is adopted, no matter where they are from, is a wonderful thing. But my wife and I have always held the belief that while we recognize that there are children all over the globe who need love, there are many here in our own country. And not only that, but many here in our part of the country, in our state, in our community. Yes I want to help people all over the world, but my wife and I feel that we should take care of children in our community first. Then we can worry about the rest of the country and then the world.
One of the reasons why we chose our adoption agency is that they only do adoptions from Oregon and Washington. This allows us to give a child love and a better opportunity in life here in our own community. It also helps promote an open adoption since the birth mother and family will most likely live in our state or close enough to get there by car. This is better for the child, which when you boil it down, is the most important thing of all.
