” United Nations, Commission on Human Rights, 2003. As a result, a whole industry has grown, generating millions of dollars of revenues each year. “Regrettably, in many cases, the emphasis has changed from the desire to provide a needy child with a home, to that of providing a needy parent with a child. The Uniform Adoption Act calls for the protection of "minor children against unnecessary separation from their birth parents." UNICEF believes that families needing support to care for their children should receive it." UNICEF "Every child has the right to know and be cared for by his or her own parents, whenever possible.
"Children and their biological parents have a right to respect for their family life."Īdoption: at what cost? 2007 Terre des hommes – child relief, Lausanne, Switzerland "Children have rights. These rights are laid down essentially in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and in the Hague Convention on the Protection of Children. But it may well justify institutional treatment. So anyone taking one needs to face the real possible danger to other children in the home.ĭoes it justify getting "rid" of them, no. Isn't that extraordinary? So who cares if 4 out of 5 are scared away?Ĭhildren from foster care or institutions have been neglected and abused and have limited ability to attach and often repeat abusive behavior. It is estimated that if one in five perspective adopters adopted a an older child from foster care in the US, all 129,000 would have homes. Less demand would be welcome as would equate to less exploitation and coercion. A-mom says she wants to "get rid of" esther and that she needs ot do so protect "HER" kids?!īottom line for me, Solo, is that I am never afraid of anything that has the potential to discourage adopters. I am extremely curious how the adoptive parent community feels about the line in another trailer I saw where the Pros. One reviewer pointed out that the couple almost immediately decide on this adoption after a miscarriage. I think the film inadvertently might point out the lack of sufficient preparation and truthful information often passed along in adoptions of older children. is there anyone who is NOT opposed to child prostitution and pedophilia?Ī connection? How so> Not sure your implication, please explain.Īre you implying that the prospective adoptive parents (I THINK that is her position) mom has a right to not love or to get rid of a child because of her horrendous background? My answer to that is NO. Now, a new aspect of the film has been revealed.
I believe it is all spearheaded by the AAAA, ACT for Adoption, Congressional Coalition and so on - all of whom profit from adoption and are afraid of a loss of financial gain. Yes, I still feel the hullabaloo made over the line in the trailer is way out of proportion, as does Bastaredette and many adoptees, some of whom created an Esther tee shirt.

And is there anyone who is going to go into this movie not knowing this and come out thinking that they just watched a good movie? She wears the ribbon around her neck because of scars from her former occupation.īut wait it gets worse, the reason she's trying to get rid of her foster family is that she wants to seduce her "foster father"! pretty brutal.Įsther turns out to be a former prostitute, whose clients were pedophiles.
