Adoption, the works

To what extent is the law on adoption fair critically evaluating the role and discretion of the judiciary In Adoption proceedings while taking into account the implications of the Human Rights Act and the erosion of family values.

 

Adoption in England and Wales is governed completely by statute. On 30 December 2005, the principle statute governing adoption, the Adoption and Children Act 2002 was fully implemented. It represents the most radical overhaul of adoption law for 26 years, replacing the outdated Adoption Act 1976 thereby making the child’s welfare paramount and modernising the entire legal framework for domestic and inter-country adoption. The law on adoption is now in a much better position then it used to be, thanks to the ten years worth of reform proposals.

 

“In December 2000 the Government published a White Paper on adoption (Adoption – a new approach; Cm 5017, Department of Health, December 2000). This set out the Government’s plans to promote greater use of adoption, improve the performance of the adoption service, and put children at the centre of The Adoption Process. The White Paper built on the proposals of the Prime Minister’s Adoption Review, which were published for consultation in July 2000 (Prime Minister’s Review: Adoption; Performance and Innovation Unit, July 2000). The White Paper included a commitment to introduce new adoption legislation in 2001.

 

The Government believes that the interests and welfare of a child (throughout his/her life) should be the focus of the adoption since it has lifelong implications. For this purpose the Act makes the welfare of the child the paramount consideration for courts and adoption agencies in decision-making relating to adoption. ‘The Adoption and Children Act 2002 has updated the law to align adoption law with the Children Act 1989. The Act has improved performance of Adoption Services and promotes greater use of adoption for looked after children. The Act also introduces some amendments to the Children Act 1989. A feature of these amendments, contained in Part 2, Sections 111–122, is the range of alternatives to adoption that might nevertheless provide varying degrees of permanence and legal certainty. ‘[1]

 

Foremost, the Act aims to encourage more people to apply to adopt and build confidence in the adopter assessment process. The Government is now committed to provide an independent review where an Adoption Agency intends to turn down a prospective adopter’s application. The Act also includes powers enabling the appropriate Minister to establish a mechanism, which may be run by an independent body, to review qualifying adoption agency’s determinations. The intention is that the independent review mechanism will review, at a prospective adopter’s request, applications that adoption agencies have indicated they are not in favour. It is also intended to use the independent review mechanism to review qualifying adoption agency determinations about the disclosure of information concerning a person’s adoption. The mechanism could be used to review other determinations made by adoption agencies. This places a duty on local authorities to make arrangements for the provision of adoption support services, as specified in regulations. This duty will be used to deliver the new framework for adoption support services (including financial support) It also provides a new right to request and receive an assessment of needs for adoption support services. The assessment will link with other local authority functions and local education authorities and health services, where such needs are identified, with the aim of identifying a coordinated package of support to help Adoptions succeed.[2]  Adoption is defined like so by Wikipedia as:

 

‘A process whereby a person assumes the parenting for another who is not their child and, in so doing, permanently transfers all rights and responsibilities from the original parent or parents’.

 

Under the new act, the effect of an adoption order is still to irrevocably transfer the child from one family to another by severing the ties between the biological family and the child. I feel the new Act is to a large extent fair as one of its main aims are to enable more children to be Adopted, mainly by relaxing the pre-requirements of potential adopters. It therefore becomes a more child centered system. It looks at ensuring birth parents understand the impact of consenting to an adoption. In takes into account the length of time disputes take to be settled and looks to resolving them early so that adoption itself does not become a fait accompli. Previously children had next to no say on adoption proceedings. Today the voice of the child can be heard through reports to the court. Now there is also an effective case management system to reduce delay in the decision making process.

 

They propose to achieve these aims through proceedings under the Act which are subject to the overriding objectiveset out in Rule 1 of the Family Procedure (Adoption) Rules 2005 of enabling the court to deal with cases justly, and is expressed to include that: [3]

• ·         Parties are on an equal footing           
• ·         Cases are dealt with in ways which are proportionate to the importance and complexity of issues
• ·         Cases are dealt with expeditiously and fairly
• ·         Cases are allotted an appropriate share of court resources

 

This is also in line with the no delay principle under the Children Act 1989. Re C (adoption disclosure to father) . It is also emphasized by the ‘paramountcy principle’

which obliges the court and agency to make decisions on whether to dispense with the consent of the birth parent if deemed incapable on grounds such as mental illness. It also obliges the court or adoption agency to consider that in general any delay is likely to prejudice the child. Section 1(4) of the Act provides a welfare checklist tailored to the particular circumstances of adoption that must be adhered to by the court and adoption agencies. In doing so, the Act aligns adoption legislation with the relevant provisions of the Children Act 1989.

 

Section 1(3) of the Act obliges the Court to consider that delay in decision-making is likely to prejudice the welfare of the child. This provision is further supported by section 109 which imposes a duty on the court to manage cases by drawing up a timetable and giving directions for the purpose of ensuring that the timetable is adhered to. Avoidance of delay is further ensured by the Family Procedure (Adoption) Rules 2005 which provide a procedural code for the operation of the Adoption and Children Act in all three tiers of court in England and Wales. [4]

 

The role played by judges can be seen in placement orders, which involve the child living with his or her prospective adopters for a specific period that acts as a trial run. The judges are expected to communicate closely with adoption agencies and local authorities and ensure that the child is placed with suitable and capable parents, taking into account special needs like learning or physical disabilities. If the child has physical disabilities, is the home the child is being placed in conducive for his or her growth? Does the family the child is being placed with have sufficient financial resources to cater to the child’s learning needs?

 

The children will only be placed (more permanent nature) if the criteria are met. For instance what impact would a ten year Chinese speaking Asian child have if he or she was placed in the home of say an English speaking American family, as opposed to a situation where an infant of Chinese origin is placed with that same English speaking American family? In terms of language and communication the infant would definitely be able to adjust better as opposed to the older ten year old child.

 

The discretion of the judges arises where parental consent is a concern before placement and or adoption orders are made. Judges can order the removal of a child from the custody of his or her biological parents even if they disagree. An example of this would be when the parent(s) is or are incapacitated. Another example would be if a parent is unfit to be the care giver of his or her child, especially so for drug dependents or other deviants. Judges also have the discretion to determine post adoption visiting rights in spite of whether adopters agree or disagree. Most adopters prefer the child to have a clean break, and prefer not having any form much less regular interferences from the biological or birth parents. After all isn’t adoption the severance of biological ties? But then again this may not be in the best interest of the child, since the well being of the child is of paramount importance in the Adoption and Children Act 2002.

 

An illustration of the discretionary role the judges possess can be found in the following case, Re S (Adoption Order or Special Guardianship Order)[5], where a post adoption contract with the birth parents is desirable if both parties have agreed to maintain the right to visitation. The Court of Appeal pointed out that special guardianship orders fall within the Children Act 1989 and the well known provisions of Section 1 of the 1989 act apply to them. The child’s welfare shall be the court’s paramount consideration. The court must show due regard to his ascertainable wishes and feelings, his physical, emotional and educational needs, the likely effect on him of any change in his circumstances, his age, sex, background and relevant characteristics. if not also caused by any harm which he has suffered, and how capable each of his parents, and any other relevant person, is of meeting his needs. There is a halfway house position when the court considers that an adoption order should not be granted against the welfare of the child, and where a guardianship order or a residents order will better protect the child’s welfare. Judgment was given in this case alongside the case of Re AJ6] and the case of   Re MJ where both were dealing with the same point of law. Where in Re MJ was an appeal by a mother against an order placing her child for adoption with her half-sister. She argued that the half-sister should be appointed as special guardian instead. The appeal was dismissed. Whereas in Re AJ it was an appeal by parents against an order dispensing with the need for their. consent to adoption on the grounds that it was being unreasonably withheld. The appeal was dismissed.

 

There is also the case of Re P(adoption leave provision) where the responsibility of the birth parents is not extinguished until the final adoption order is makes it impossible to get back custody of the child.

 

Now there is a new question of whether an adoption has withstood the challenge posed by the European convention of human rights and fundamental freedoms? Will adoption stand in the face of the brave new world of human rights or will it solemnly retreat?

Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights provides:[8]

 

1. Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life …

2. There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society … for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.

 

Article 6 enshrines the right to a fair and public hearing within a reasonable time by an independent and impartial tribunal.[9]

 

The human rights issues arise due to the fact that adoption in itself is the severing of all ties between adopted children and their biological parents. What then happens to the right to one’s family life? The biological parents may not want their ties to be severed. Occasions like these usually entail a situation where a child is removed from the custody of his/her parents due to the fact that they are pronounced incompetent to be parents. It’s not just the parents whose rights are in question because even the child does not have an absolute say in adoption proceedings. The final decision making power still lies with the judiciary. Example Pc and S v UK.[10] where the father was not informed of the proceeding because the mothers request for confidentiality carried more weight.

 

On the surface there appears to be a breach of human rights, but these breaches have been justified by the spirit and intendment of the Act, hitting the ball right back home to the doorstep of the child’s welfare. At the point in time when the adoption proceedings are taking place, the child may not be mature enough to make a decision of such magnitude. Therefore, the courts take this heavy burden upon themselves with advice from adoption agencies and local authorities.

 

To make up for this apparent breach in human rights, the Adoption and Children Act 2002 has made provisions to enable adopted children from closed adoptions a way to get in touch with biological family members. Once eighteen years of age, adopted children may obtain an original copy of their birth certificate from the adoption agencies that placed them and the local authorities that oversaw it. Also the Registrar General is required to maintain an ‘adopted children’s register where relatives of the adopted child can leave messages for him or her (Section 77 & 78 Adoption Act). This has been encouraged for the following reasons:

 

• allowing them to do so gives them a sense of self. Knowing their past helps them settle into the future
• Knowledge of genetic history has proven useful especially where there are any health concern.
• Knowing about their birth parents helps obtain a sense of cultural identity.

 

Despite the fact that there is such an overwhelming need for a loving and supportive family unit, the need for this piece of legislation would seem like a no-brainer. However, there still are concerns about the erosion of family values with regards to the potential parents’ sexual orientation, gender identity or marital status. There is a small section of society that doesn’t think and or feel its morally or religiously justified for homosexual couples to adopt as it sends out the wrong message, and appears to be promoting a sinful way of life. There are others still who feel single parents shouldn’t be allowed to adopt because the ‘family unit picture becomes flawed’ since in their minds its not a family if it doesn’t consist of a ‘mummy and a daddy’. I, on the other hand am of the view that having people to love you and care for you, people to call family and a place to call home is far greater then who these people are and what their sexual orientation or gender is, or how many of them there are. Better one parent then none.

 

In a nutshell, the Adoption and Children Act 2002 is to a large extent fair. However, the implementation of the law does raise some human rights issues which on the whole is fairly justified from a family values perspective. I believe every child deserves a family.

Adoption Is for a Lifetime $14.99 “Nancy was Canada’s first foreign adoptee.

She graduated from college with a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and eventually pursued a career in computer programming.

The Open Adoption Book: A Guide to Adoption Without Tears $13.95 “Updated for a New Paperback Edition, the Definitive Guide to Open Adoption, by the founder of the Open Adoption Movement The exploding popularity of open adoption today underscores what adopting parents, birthparents, and many adoption experts now maintain: Open adoption is the healthiest, most humane, and fastest method available. It’s better for the birthmother, because she (not lawyers or social workers) decides the future of her child. It’s better for children, because they’re raised without the shroud of secrecy and stigma that accompanies most closed adoptions. And it’s better for adopting parents, because it dramatically shortens the time it takes to obtain a baby, from an average of seven years to under one year. As director of one of the country’s leading open adoption agencies and founder of the first nationwide network of open adoption organizations, Bruce Rappaport has facilitated thousands of successful open adoptions and acquired an intimate understanding of the most common and heartfelt concerns of parents seeking to adopt a baby. Interweaving personal stories and real-life experiences of adopting parents, birthparents, and adopted children, he answers the questions clients most frequently ask:> * What is an open adoption? How does it differ from traditional adoption?> * Will I ever feel like a real parent if my child’s biological mother knows I’m raising her child? Will she interfere?> * What if the birthmother changes her mind after the adoption?> * How long will it take to get a child?> Documenting answers with extensive personal experience and research, Dr. Rappaport paints a reassuring yet realistic picture of the open adoption process. The result is a highly informative, deeply moving book that will help many people realize the greatest joy life can offer.”

Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Christian Families and Churches $15.99 “>A stirring call to Christian families and churches to be a people who care for orphans, not just in word, but in deed. >The gospel of Jesus Christ-the good news that through Jesus we have been adopted as sons and daughters into God’s family-means that Christians ought to be at the forefront of the adoption of orphans in North America and around the world. >Russell D. Moore does not shy away from this call in Adopted for Life, a popular-level, practical manifesto for Christians to adopt children and to help equip other Christian families to do the same. He shows that adoption is not just about couples who want children-or who want more children. It is about an entire culture within Christianity, a culture that sees adoption as part of the Great Commission mandate and as a sign of the gospel itself. >Moore, who adopted two boys from Russia and has spoken widely on the subject, writes for couples considering adoption, families who have adopted children, and pastors who wish to encourage adoption.”

As Gracie tells you the story of her family, she weaves in the Christ-centered spiritual lessons she learned, along with her infertility poems and communion meditations she wrote. Come and take Gracies hand as she leads you through her journey of motherhood and being a Them. Gracie Longshore graduated from high school in 1977.

This Means War: Equipping Christian Families for Fostercare or Adoption $14.99 “Fetal Alcohol effects… bonding attachment disorder… self-abusive… violent, destructive, aggressive… fire starter… _______________________________________________________________ Happy, successful, easy adoptions are a reality Many times the children are no more or less difficult to parent than average. However, sometimes raising adopted kids is extremely difficult. Are you really prepared to adopt? Read on as experienced foster, adoptive and even grandparents share stories of success, but also of struggles. Many entered adoption unprepared and were quickly overwhelmed. We wondered why our parenting methods failed. Why didn’t our love heal these children? Why were our previously happy families now falling apart? We lacked vital information about invisible disabilities; we didn’t know how profoundly neglect damages an infant. We didn’t realize we’d signed up to be missionaries to miniature heathens – nor that a spiritual enemy opposed us. Perhaps we assumed the natural state of man, apart from negative influence or defective genes, would be an ideal person; in the Garden of Eden… maybe.We’re not in the Garden anymore Before you adopt, pray for protection and guidance – and be sure you read This Means War This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength…’ (Isaiah 30:15a NIV)”

Ten years of infertility brought Debbi and Phil Migit to a crisis of faith. Child of Promise is the true account of one couples journey from barrenness to the blessing of Tran racial adoption. There is a message that goes beyond infertility and adoption; it will touch any believer and bring them to a better understanding of Gods ultimate faithfulness. Walk with Debbi and Phil as they remain faithful to God and finally receive their Child of Promise.”

My Family, A Symphony: A Memoir of Global Adoption $5.99 Aaron is his parents’ only biological child. His four internationally adopted siblings arrived with severe health problems and psychological wounds: Meredith suffered from birth defects and was never expected to walk; Jamie had cerebral palsy; Jordan had his first heart catheter when he was five; and Michelle had endured serious trauma as a child back in India. All five shared a close bond as children. However, by the time Aaron reached early adulthood, he felt distanced from his sisters and brother. In search of a way to reconnect with his family, Aaron traveled to 23 cities across the globe to trace his siblings’ origins. He visited the orphanages where they had lived, met the people who had taken care of them, and immersed himself in the world of orphans around the globe, visiting slums in India, a village on the North Korean border, and a tribal settlement in an Ethiopian rainforest. My Family, A Symphony is Aaron’s story.

The Brotherhood of Joseph: A Father’s Memoir of Infertility and Adoption in the 21st Century $4.99 While miracles in reproductive technology have brought joy to millions, those very advances have plunged many couples into an unrelenting cycle of hope and heartbreak. One failed attempt may lead to another and another – but how do you give up when there is always another doctor, another procedure holding out the possibility of conception and the child you yearn for? Brooks Hansen vividly captures the emotional turmoil he and his wife, Elizabeth, endured as they tried to conceive, the years their lives were put on hold, and the excruciating sense of loss. He writes too of the coupleÂ’s journey through the bewildering world of adoption – a path to parenthood fraught with financial, legal, and emotional risks of its own. Offering men a chance to be heard and women a rare opportunity to view the struggle with infertility from a male perspective, The Brotherhood of Joseph brings to life the anger, frustration, humor, heartbreak, and sense of helplessness that come to dominate the husbandÂ’s role. As his remarkable account reaches its finale in Siberia, however, HansenÂ’s once again becomes the story of a husband and a wife who, even after years of medical frustration and fruitless paperwork, still must take one last risk together and trust in their most basic instincts before their new family can be born.

10 Steps to Repair American Democracy $12.95 Unresponsive government. Uninspiring candidates. Mindless political debate. Suspicious voting equipment. American representative democracy is suffering through its worst crisis in many years, and while many Americans recognize it, they just don’t know what to do about it. In A More Perfect Union, Steven Hill offers specific solutions for election reform. Arguing that much of what ails American politics is rooted in antiquated 18th-century practices, Hill makes a stirring call for national elections standards, nonpartisan election officials, an Election Day holiday, and other repairs to the nuts and bolts of the voting process. Further, he calls for the end of winner-take-all elections, adoption of proportional representation, reform of presidential elections, fairer representation in the U.S. Senate, universal voter registration, public financing of elections, and free air time for candidates. An inspiring blueprint for repairing and reinvigorating American politics, Hill’s simple yet effective proposals strengthen not just the electoral system, but the republic itself.
