Comnao 1st Gear October 12, 2009 Share October 12, 2009 hi Friends a friend and wife are childless . They have worked out between themselves and decided they want to adopt a child instead. They are upper middle income family and normal people, not sicko bastxxx. They do not want children of foreign countries, only singapore born locals. Does anyone know the procedure and whom to contact ? Thanks in advance ! ** Ps : spare me the song and dance about natural or unnatural or why they discrimination against babies from other countries or how they are going to break the news to the child in future. we had already discussed this topic extensively so i am sure of their mental state before i agreed to walk this journey together with them ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picanto 3rd Gear October 13, 2009 Share October 13, 2009 its very difficult to raise a child that is not a couple's own flesh and blood. they may think that its ok for the present. how about in 5 yrs time? they may regret the decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiralty 4th Gear October 13, 2009 Share October 13, 2009 My very close-friend adopted a baby-girl this January from Malaysia, paid agent fee S$23k in all. Several trips to related agency for paper-work and home visit by social agents...all done. Quite easy if adoption agent is involved, maybe higher fee for the service. we had already discussed this topic extensively so i am sure of their mental state before i agreed to walk this journey together with them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They house unwed mothers to be there...IIRC To add to this, TS, since you did not mention the ethnic group of your friend, I'm suggesting they can take a look at the Pertapis Centre for Women and Girls. They house muslim women. Here's the contact information PERTAPIS CENTRE FOR WOMEN & GIRLS 42 Surin Avenue, Singapore 535638 Tel: 6284 4707 Fax: 6289 4508 http://www.pertapis.org.sg Good luck.

Darryn Turbocharged October 13, 2009 Share October 13, 2009 we also discussed that point extensively and they are aware of the risks. i think right now to them, the hardest part is telling the truth to the child and the child decides to turn away from them Don't do it as the "big reveal" when the kid turns 13 or 18 or whatever. If they child always knows they were adopted for as far back as they can remember it won't be an issue. And its not hard to explain even to a four year old. Mummy and Daddy couldn't grow a baby like other mummies and daddies, so they got you from a lady that couldn't take proper care of you - because we love you so much.

Hondacub777 6th Gear October 13, 2009 Share October 13, 2009 I think u really need a very big heart to adopt a child .i have get to know a few caucasian families who adopted kids from different back ground.1 for example,the couple have 1 boy which is their own,1(boy) adopted from vietnam,1(boy) from india,and 1(girl) from russia.but they were all treated equally.no bias.If im not wrong,our very own local DJ,Rod,has also adopted a boy .
