Disagreeance on Adoption
Many organizations are for great family bonds, yet they still pass such bills as Family Reunification Act in Minnesota in April of 2013. Our Child Welfare, and Adoption agencies, along with politicians agree with such acts as this. This bill proves how much social services does not support new family bond establishments. Biological parents who have had their parental rights taken away may regain guardianship of their children if they a have been in foster care for thirty-six months or more, or are over the age of fifteen (Brown).
Many of these kids, though they may not be adopted yet might have spent the last thirty-six months with a single foster family, built incredible family bonds and all may be looking forward to adoption when the parent may come back and be given the child again. This happens in every state in America, and no rights are given to the foster families to see these children or keep family bonds with them. This will give children attachment disorders, not to mention the likeliness that these children's biological parents will once again become delinquent and loose their child, sending them back into the foster care system. Bills such as these show how our country, government, agencies who are pro adoption and say they are fully behind new family bonds are not, and have no thought in the process of social services when children are stripped of the new loving family they are apart of.
Social services was created to help and represent people who need someone to support their well being in instances such as this. This must be addressed immediately, social services is not living up to the standards it has set for itself and should have to include the ideals of family bonding and attachment issues in every case established.
