It's time to reform the child "protective" system that does not protect children.
People used to have children naturally and accept them for who they were. The true sons and daughters of their parents, children had a natural belonging and connectedness to their family. Parents and their children felt joy in seeing their traits and looks reflected in each other. They had a true family bond.
The need to understand the effects on a child of being raised by an unrelated person or persons is all-important, particularly in these times where so many child-creation, selection and acquisition techniques are available. Many adopters find themselves disappointed that their adoptee cannot take the place of the child they could not have. Adopters report feeling "cheated" if their adoptee turns out to have health or emotional problems or does not "attach".
In ordinary adoption, the adoptee not only deals with feelings of having been rejected by her natural parents, but she also knows it when she does not fulfill adopter expectations. In donor insemination (DI) or egg donor situations, it may be even worse for the created human being may not measure up to expectations for the donor DNA chosen. The DI adoptee or egg donation adoptee wonders about the father or mother who sold the raw materials to make a child they would not be there to raise, parents who planned to create an orphan.
"Designer babies" surely have a great potential for disappointment and heartache for both the people raising the child and the child.
Other countries have outlawed those methods of child creation which amount to little more than a parent selling or donating their own child. The industry tells us it's no different to be adopted or unnaturally created. It's time we really listen to those who can tell us for themselves what the reality is.
