A significant number of people seek to adopt children from other countries, a process known as international adoption. People seek to adopt abroad for many reasons. Many people want to adopt an infant or a very young child. Some also hope to adopt children who share their ethnic heritage. Such prospective parents may find a shortage of suitable children available for adoption in the United States. Publicity regarding the availability of infants in a particular country also encourages some people to seek to adopt there. Many people adopt abroad because of anxieties regarding domestic adoptions, especially fears that the birth mother will refuse to proceed with an arranged adoption after she gives birth to the child. In a few, well-publicized cases in the United States, biological parents have attempted to reclaim their child years after it was adopted, adding to the worries of prospective parents.
Three methods can be used for international adoption. The majority of prospective adoptive parents use an adoption agency. Others consult adoption facilitators in the United States. Some prospective parents choose to establish direct communication with contacts in a particular country. Many state-licensed adoption agencies place children from other countries. These agencies are familiar with the adoption laws of foreign countries and usually maintain contacts in countries where many childtren are waiting to be adopted. Agencies send information about the adoptive parents directly to their contacts, who then locate an appropriate child for the adoptive parents.
Facilitators in the United States also help prospective parents locate suitable children abroad. Facilitators usually have foreign contacts who help resolve legal issues pertaining to adoption in a particular country. In some cases, facilitators travel to other countries and directly assist in adoptions. Prospective parents can also work with facilitators in another country or deal directly with foreign institutions, such as orphanages.
People who wish to adopt abroad must follow the procedures and requirements of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Before an international adoption can go forward, the results of a home study and extensive documentation must be submitted to both the INS and the courts in the child’s country of origin. Required documentation usually includes birth certificates, marriage certificates, letters of employment, medical letters, and personal references.
The legal process in the child’s country of origin results in either a full and final adoption or a guardianship, in which the prospective parent is granted custody of the child until the adoption is finalized. If a full and final adoption has been approved in the child’s country of origin and the INS has permitted the child to enter the United States, parents can usually get U.S. birth certificates and citizenship papers without readopting the child in the United States.However, the U.S. State Department recommends readoption in the United States. When a guardianship is established in the child’s country of origin, prospective parents must complete normal pre-adoption procedures, such as a home study, in their local county court in order to obtain a visa for the child. The adoption must be finalized when the child comes to live in the United States.
All adoptive parents worry about the health of their adopted children. In many developing nations and in some countries of Eastern Europe, poor medical treatment can lead to health problems among young children. Medical records may be unavailable or incomplete. Prospective parents should consult a physician regarding the health of the child they are seeking to adopt prior to the adoption. After a child has been adopted from abroad, parents should try to find a pediatrician who is familiar with the medical conditions in the country in which the child was born. Many local hospitals in the United States have doctors on staff who are well-versed in this area.
Which of the following methods can not be used for international adoption?
选项
A、The majority of prospective adoptive parents use an adoption agency.
B、Some prospective parents consult adoption facilitators in the United States.
C、Some prospective parents choose to establish direct communication with contacts in a particular country.
D、Many state-licensed adoption agencies input children from other countries directly.
答案
D
解析
第二段讲到了三种进行国际领养的方法。由此可知,D是错误的,因为它们并非直接从国外把孩子引入,而是同相应的联系人直接联系,在由后者安排。
