Children are gifts from God. Every parent pray for a good child that will bring peace in their home. For families(couples) or single people who intend to adopt, legal means of adoption is a way of bringing future peace in your home without unnecessary questioning and suscipicions.
THE FOLLOWING ARE REASONS TO ADOPT LEGALLY:
1) THE FEE:
Legal adoption in Nigeria is relatively free. You only pay a legal administrative fee of 210 USD(80,000 naira). This is the only amount you pay except you applied through a foundation but this is highly unnecessary if you're resident in Nigeria or have relatives who reside in Nigeria, unless you want to keep your adoption private.
2) HISTORY :
If you adopt legally, before the adoption is legalized, you will be given the medical and personal history of the Child, example:
~Where the child was found or picked up.
~The circumstances surrounding the Child.
This may not be the case if you adopt illegally as the baby factory or organization are in it just for business. Also, note that children in the orphanage homes are children abandoned. For a young woman to abandon a child, it simply means that there's no means of catering for the baby or the young woman kept her pregnancy a secret from her family or she's dead. The father of the baby may be a responsible man who was kept in the dark about the pregnancy or wasn't ready to be a father then. The young lady in Question might be of a good blood line but took a bad decision due to circumstances and lack of proper advice.
Baby factories are different. The men and women in it know what they are doing. What kind of a woman will agree to bring forth children after 9 months just to sell them for a small token. These are women with bad bloodlines and you should be careful of nurturing a child born by 2 Terrible individuals(man and woman) who can do abominable things for money. The child may grow up to become something else.. Except you intercede in prayers earlier during their infant hood and pray for God to deliver the child from every generational or ancestral curse... To avoid any form of repetition in future as there may be a spiritual implication on the child's generation which will affect the innocent child.
3) LEGAL IMPLICATION
This is a new era and things have taken a better turn. The world is technological. Recently, there's an issue of DNA requested by agencies prior to travelling. It's better to adopt a child through a legal means to prove the authenticity of the adoption. Some western countries might do a research on the genuinity of an adoption in Nigeria. Do not be a victim of fraudulent act via Adoption. Give your child a legal means of occupancy in your home.
A child Adopted legally has a statutory right in his/her new home and cannot be intimidated by any relative as it's an offense to abandon /abuse/ maltreat a legally adopted child. As an adoptive parents, you should secure your adopted child's future in case of any incident.
4) CHOICE:
During legal adoption, you are issued an approval letter to all the registered orphanages in the State.
