14 Feb Adopt A Child: Share your Love and Blessings this 2018
According to Wikipedia, Adoption is a process whereby a person assumes the parenting of another, usually a child, from that person’s biological or legal parent or parents, and, in so doing, permanently transfers all rights and responsibilities, along with filiation, from the biological parent or parents.
So, are you incapable of having your own child? Do you want someone to share your love with? or do you just want to help less fortunate children without anyone at their side? Consider adoption now, and this may help you more than it helps them.
A lot of children in our country nowadays are either orphaned, helplessly roaming the streets or completely abandoned. Government agencies such as the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) are doing their best to help these children but it will never be enough, young Filipinos such as these needs a family and parents to grow up with. They deserve to experience the right to be happy and be loved to whom a child is born with.
