From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. 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.

Having an adoption fee or selling a bird or any pet doesn't ensure they are going to be taken care of it only shows maybe an intention of wanting something that they would be willing to pay for. There have been lots of pets adopted from shelters, and other places only to have been abused, neglected, even killed by the adopter, purchaser, etc. You can start by asking the person interested in your keets what their knowledge of owning a parakeet is like what kind of food, houseing, daily care, treats, the bird should have. Taking the bird to them so you can see the home, making a list of the things that parakeets need and require for good health and care and comfort and making sure to give it to the person you choose, ask them who their… [cont.] Answered by Big Rigger - Thu Apr 24 01:59:03 2008 How can i start adoption procedure in USA if i have adopted a child overseas legally.? Q. I have signed a legal adoption deed with child's biological parents in India. We are a childless couple even after 28 years of marriage. I do not know how to start procedure to bring this adopted child in US.Appreciate it if someone can help. Asked by Paramjeet - Fri Nov 6 14:48:58 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. My wife and I have adopted from India and we have also lived there for three years. What you describe to me sounds very "fishy". First off I would question if the adoption was done legally since there would have had to be home studies and court appearances in India, not just papers signed by the parents. Also, India does not allow their children to be adopted out of the country unless they have cleared through the formal Indian process first. You can sign what ever you want with the child's parents but if it is not approved by the Indian courts they will not allow the child to leave the country, nore will any country issue a visa for the child.
