GermanWikipedia has an article on: AdoptionNounAdoption f. (genitive Adoption, plural Adoptionen)
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.

GNU Free Documentation License How can I obtain a job working with pregnancy and adoption services? Q. Hi, I'm a 17 old senior high school student in Canada, and I was wondering what job positions there are in pregnancy and adoption services? What education and experience do I need to obtain one of these positions in the future? I have assisted in the adoption of my brother, and well as assisted friends through their adoption. I would love to continue being able to help people through things like this, but on a more professional level. Thanks Asked by xboxgirl - Tue Oct 10 15:46:34 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Maybe you should look into becoming a social worker. Potential college majors include social work, elementary education and child development. Not sure about Canada, in the US a social worker almost certainly needs a Master's Degree. Answered by Adoptive Father - Tue Oct 10 17:32:38 2006 How much is a reasonable adoption fee for a cat? Q. If you were going to adopt a cat from a rescue group, would a $100 adoption fee seem a lot if the cat comes already fixed, vaccinated, tested for disease, and all up to date on vet care? Asked by <3 cats - Sun Nov 11 21:20:49 2007 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. Sounds great! A spay /neuter would cost more than that. When I adopted my two cats, I had to pay $100 for vaccinations and then near $400 for the female to be spayed (she went into heat, so surgery was more), and about $250 for the male to be neutered. Instead of going to a cheap place, I used my vet for the surgeries and had the pre-surgery blood testing done and monitoring during the surgury. You can get your cat fixed some places for like $60, but it is bare bones. Regardless, $100 is a great price for adoption. It varies from place to place, but $100 is not unreasonable considering that the place had to pay for those vaccinations, spay/neuter, food, etc. Answered by Crystal - Sun Nov 11 21:34:07 2007 What is the average cost of a private adoption?
Q. There is a local grandmother (state is alabama) that is putting her grandbaby (under a year) up for adoption. The child's parents rights have been terminated b/c of the dad beat it up and the mom did not report it. The grandmother has custody. It was announced at a friend's church and so far we r the only ones interested. What would be an approximate cost to do a private adoption (through a lawyer) with this woman? Asked by Asha - Thu Jun 17 20:58:24 2010 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. It depends on if the baby is in the state system or not. If he is in the state system (foster, etc) then it should be almost free. (you'd probably have to pay for finalization, which for us was $750) If the child isn't in the system, it's probably be less than 2 thousand. (you'll only have to pay for lawyers fees) Answered by HighC - Thu Jun 17 21:46:40 2010 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Adoption" From Wikiquote under the GNU Free Documentation License. See also:
