“A home for a child”
Webster defines home as “the place where somebody was born or raised in and feels that he or she belongs” When this is not the case, as for an adoptee who was placed with people who have no concept of the meaning, unless it pertains to their wants and needs, the word “home” has a completely different definition.
A home is much more than 4 walls and a roof to live in. It is but not limited to...
1. A soft place to land when you’ve had a rotten day.
2. A place that is full of people who love each other and protect each other.
3. A place where you are respected and your feelings and needs are met by people who are eager and willing to put their own needs and wants aside to meet yours if the situation calls for it.
4. It is a place where a person is not afraid to go to sleep at night, Where locking the bedroom door is never crosses your mind because the other family members respect you privacy and will not enter unless invited.
5. A home is where you can feel free to just be yourself because no matter what you know your family will never stop loving you.
Just because someone wants to be a parent does not give them the “right” to have one. Just because they have the means to support one, does not make them good parent material. Just because they go to church every time the doors are open does not make them good Christians, Jew or whatever their faith is.
Why can’t people accept the fact that sometimes it only takes a little bit of scratching to unearth the true nature under the façade these “good people” are showing.
It’s a sad fact but so true that until changes are made abuse of adopted and foster children, as well as bio-children will continue because of this ignorance.
