Adoption has always been an option from not having your own child. Many couples consider adoption but almost always there are different reasons that hinder them from going through the process of adopting a child. A lot of them hesitate because they think that they are going to be frowned upon by society. Not even considering that by going through adopting a child they are gifting him with a brand new life. A once vague chance to live a life full of love and happiness are being given to children that are adopted by couples who can’t have a child or already have a family but wants to add to it even more. You see, although adoption is a wonderful thing it’s still not that of a well known alternative for couples here in the Philippines. Stigmas still coats a wonderful thing such as adoption. So what can we do? What difference can we make?
We should start and be the bridge that would
connect and lead the way for everyone to see adoption in all its goodness not
the one with all its stigmas. We should start in changing the mindset of
everyone and let them see that adoption is something that spreads love and
happiness through every family that experience it. We are the perfect vehicle
for spreading more awareness about adoption. Family is the one thing that each
and every one of us needs. We all deserve a family that will love and care for
us. Don’t let stigmas in the society be in the way in letting a child be part
of a family. Yes, you may not be related by blood but a much more binding force
connects an adoptive child from the parents and that is the love they share for
each other. A love that encompasses all the difference they have for when one
talks about love in a family its love that is everlasting and unconditional. We
could be part for every child to have a family and that someday a child will
never be deprived of a family that he deserves.
