My experience with the adoption process was pretty pleasant experience, but I suppose it should have been for four year old. Although my experience was a good one, it wasn't so easy for my parents. It took them two years of trials before they could even think about looking for a child/ children.

The policy for adoption in that country says, “the adoptive parents must be at least 25 years of age and 21 years older than the child. Conclusion While adoption is still a pressing topic, the government seems not to care. While the amount of kids entering foster care and the amount of kids being adopted, you’d think they’d get a clue to lessen the requirements and hardships of adoption. Until they do, I doubt the number of adoptions will increase. On the bright side, the social stigmas attached to adopted children in the U.S. are slowly disappearing and have gone from taboo to
