| Family › Re: Child Adoption - The Nigerian Factor by mohawkchic(f): 5:57am On Aug 13, 2008 |
~Am assuming this type of Child Adpotion is done through the courts?  I have no personal knowledge of how common Adoption is back home,i need to read up on that or the challenges Couples are met with who actually Adopt I am aware or heard of cases where kids are adopted to be taken out of the country or through Organisations. . .[/b][b]~However I Am aware of a common practice back home which i detest,people who are can't afford to look after their child/ren anymore due to certain circumstances willingly give them up to a "well-to-do" family without going through the proper channels of them officailly adopting that child . .they just hand over the child in the hope or assurance that child will get an education,be fed & clothed . . i doubt very much "LOVE" is part of that deal . . . I feel thats so wrong in most cases these kids are taken from the provinces . . .the unfortunate ones often become tagged "Men pekin" meaning a child who isnt yours but you Some times if they prove to be a handfull,they can be sent packing ASAP . . without a second thought,that will be after been beaten countless times  [/b]~There's that tiny percentage that do end up into loving families were you'd never guess they're adopted/fostered . . as far as am aware,telling the child they're adopted is not a common practice in Africa,infact ever so often its whispers from other family members/nosy neighbours that will make it their bizness & be sure to let-it-be-known that child is adopted & ruin "the perfect family Image"!! ~I think its only right to tell a child they're Adopted when they're old enough to understand what that means!! There's never going to be a right time if you keep putting it off & unfortunately finding out through someone else other than your family can often have devasting results!! An example will be A school friend's brother who comitted suicide when he found out they were both adopted,i remember vividly how that story seemed to stay on People's lips forever . . . till this day when people want to talk about that couple they say "remember the XYZ family whose son comiited suicide . . i don't evn knw the details of how he found out & events that lead up to him taking his own life . .all people were interested in was having found out the fact the couple's children were adopted!! ~People were more comfy having "men pekin" while adoption was considered some biggie!! I do hope that perception has changed If the child has grown a bit before he's adopted, will Madam say 'oh, he's my little nephew and will be staying with us' or simply 'I adopt him' .[b]~I'd like to think all these forseen barriers & challenges is what is stopping most people who can't have kids & have a lot of love to give from adopting . . I wudnt even debate my happiness over satisfying people's curiousity & deprive myself the happiness or realisation of having a child!!Realistically some of the challenges will always be there I think its really up to the couple to be mentally prepared to face them together |

Pidgin English is the lingua-franca of many parts of Western Africa which were formerly British colonies~In Sierra Leone we call our pidgin "Krio" it will be interesting to learn new words of the pidgin or their meanings in other West African countries!  ~Here are a few words in Kiro you might find similar Swit - Sweet How are you? - Aw yu du? I am on my way - A de kam I am sorry - A beg pardon Mosquito - Maskita Sand - Sansan Water - Wata What are you doing? - Wetin yu de du? What's your name? - Wetin yu nem? Window - Winda |
