Why Is Child Adoption Unpopular In Nigeria? by PrimadonnaO(f): 4:23pm On Apr 18, 2021 |
Please, folks in the house, what's the deal, really? Why are many Nigerians seemingly averse to the option of adopting kids? Even when they've been waiting years to have kids of their own biologically? Personally, I seem to be overcome with the idea of adoption. I'd love to have just one child biologically, then adopt one or two others. But why is it a big deal in Nigeria? I know the process is filled with lots of protocol. But is that such a deterrent? Is it expensive, financially? Is it really hard to love a child that's not your flesh and blood? 14 Likes |

Many parents nowadays adopted childrens that are not biologically theirs, they don't know. So no need to reapply any adoption again. 33 Likes |

They're probably uninformed (don't know much about the adoption process) or ill-informed (heard wrong, false information about adoption/the adoption process). Likewise, most people would rather have their own biological children than adopt. 34 Likes 2 Shares |

Because its not in our DNA to adopt something that is not yours when you can potentially produce your own. We are africans and having your own kids is regarded as achievement. 70 Likes 2 Shares |

aroundtheearth: I agree. But even when the biological children aren't forthcoming, they still don't explore the adoption option. I know a few couples who have been childless for more than 7 years. Why not adopt since they really want children? 60 Likes 1 Share |

Liposure: Okay, have one and adopt others, then. Isn't Nigeria too populated for each person to be aspiring to have 3/4 new kids when there are so many existing lovely children out there in need of a home? I also think it would help to fix some societal problems because most of the people who become streets urchins and criminals and having varying psychological dysfunctions, are people who are either orphans raised in orphanages, or people who grew up alone on the streets with no love. 74 Likes 6 Shares |

Like can't people see overpopulation?! well it all boils down to the fact that parents just want to give their selfish love to their biological kids. end of story. 34 Likes 2 Shares |

ThatPetiteChic: I won't say they should scrap all of those processes because I believe most of them are necessary to ensure compatibility of both parents and child. I only wish they'll devise ways to make it more seamless. 11 Likes |
