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.

Q. If someone asks a question about how to go about an adoption, or something else factual, why do some of the anti-adoption people continually use it as a platform to tell people how terrrible adoption is and how they wish they'd been aborted? I @ Randy B-Yes, but what about when a question is not calling for an opinion? If someone is asking for example "Has anyone adopted from China" they are not asking for either negative or positive feedback. They're certainly not asking for rants about being aborted. It also violates the TOS. Asked by Weeme - Wed Jan 13 21:36:15 2010 - - 17 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's very offensive to adopted people. I try to be reasonably unbiased in my answers on these more personal parts of Y!A because the chance you'll upset someone is high. People should restrict their replies to the subject matter. If the question is "Is it good to adopt" then it's going to be fine to voice your opinion on how evil or how much of a blessing it is, but if the question is "how do I adopt" then the answers should just be from people who can help with that, not who will try and persuade the asker (who has clearly already made up their mind) to change their decision.
