Adoption
|
Adoption is a process whereby a person assumes the parenting for another who is not kin and, in so doing, permanently transfers all rights and responsibilities from the original parent or parents. Unlike guardianship or other systems designed for the care of the young, adoption is intended to effect a permanent change in status and as such requires societal recognition, either through legal or religious sanction. Historically some societies have enacted specific laws governing adoption whereas others have endeavored to achieve adoption through less formal means, notably via contracts that specified inheritance rights and parental responsibilities. Modern systems of adoption, arising in the 20th century, tend to be governed by comprehensive statutes and regulations. Adoption has a long history in the Western world, closely tied with the legacy of the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church. Its use has changed considerably over the centuries with its focus shifting from adult adoption and inheritance issues toward children and family creation and its structure moving from a recognition of continuity between the adopted and kin toward allowing relationships of lessened intensity.

What type of certification/degree to people who do adoption home studies have? Asked by OceanGirl99 - Fri Jan 2 19:56:18 2009 - Adoption - 2 Answers - Comments A. It depends on where you are at. In my state, a degree in almost any area of study...usually a human type field, such a counseling, teaching, criminal justice...Social work (BSW), will get you a job as a case manager in the state social service system and yes many of them refer to themselves as 'social workers' even though they do not hold a degree in social work. Now, to do home studies...you usually have to hold a Master's Level...MSW, for instance, to do them on your own. You could possibly do home studies under a contractor (you would be a sub contractor) if you only hold a Bachelor's level degree. We have teachers who write insightful studies which are often better than those done by BSW or MSW level social workers.

Q. My wife and I are thinking about adopting a dog, but I am not sure how the process works. We are kind of iffy about whether our apartment complex allows pets. There are people that have them and there is a part in our lease that says that we can't have pets, but there is also a pet addendum that says that we can. How does the adoption process work? Does the shelter try to contact my apartment complex to confirm information or what? Asked by bruins682001 - Thu Sep 28 14:45:57 2006 - Dogs - 10 Answers - Comments A. The shelter will want proof that you are allowed dogs. The process varies depending on where you adopt your dog. If you go to your local humane society they are so overwhelmed with dogs, they normally will just look up your complex and give them a call to make sure it's ok. You fill out your paperwork get a dog license and you're on your way with your new pet. However some of the nonprofit private shelters are a little more strict. They may want to make sure the dog is a good fit with you, the may do home visits both before and after you get your dog, request to see your vet records to make sure the dog is getting health care. It varies from place to place, but it is worth it, I have 2 dogs that I adore one of them from the local SPCA and… [cont.] Answered by Elle - Thu Sep 28 14:58:45 2006 From Yahoo Answer Search: "adoption" |
