Adapted Children

As a Japanese student, one of the differences I often feel in America is that there are many adapted children compared to my country. In Japan, I hardly ever hear about adapted children. However, I realized that America has more complicated family situation. Adapted children system is good thing at the same time because that gurantees rights of women who is having hard time being pregnant because of their body problems and so on.

I have some examples for this. One of my friends is adapted when she was a little. She said she does not even remember the real parents. However, it seems like she was raised with so much affection from her parents who adapted her. I know some parents who adapted children even from overseas such as China and Russia. I respect people who adapt chidren because I cannot believe I will accept other children as part of my family in the future. However, I also consider I do want to have children when I get married. I will be sad if I cannot be pregnant, so I would like to adapt children at that time.

I think this is great thing because it guarantees both women's rights as having children and children's rights as having parents. There are still many children who do not have parents and have so many problems such as luck of education and eating habits. I hope adapting children will be common in many countries in the world so that guarantees rights of women and children.
