Hi friends! Is it a coincidence or not, I don't know. Today one of my lady colleague died after a hard straggle with a serious burn injury. She left a baby boy age of 9 months. I am feeling very helpless when I think about the innocent child. When he searches for his mother and cannot find her, how will he make his mind understand?

Though the child will note be given for adoption, whoever raises them will be doing something similar to adoption. Adoption is a hope for them who are not able to be a parent. Besides it is also make an identity for those children who has lost their parents. The processing of adoption is not easy every where. It seems that if the processing is made easy for all more children will be able to given in adoption. But I think ensure the saftey and security of adopted children is more important than giving more children in adoption.
Because there are a lot of child traffickers in everywhere. So it is very terrifying that if a child adopted to any broker of child traffickers. Every child has a dream. Parents are their best supporters. A child from childhood to established each and everytime he gets support from his parents by mentally and economically. But an orphan has rarely a strong support. It is a sad reality but true that my mom has also died after my birth and her immediate younger sister took care of me and I know hee as my mother. I got the motherly love from her. She is still alive and always take care for me. When an orphan baby gets a safe shelter his future will be bright but if don’t his future will uncertain.
We see a lot of orphan children in many orphanage in Bangladesh. 99% of orphanage in Bangladesh is operated by Madrasah, the Islamic educational institutions. These Madrasah are mostly trusted institutions for the orphans as they can get the religious education from childhood and we rarely see any crime is occurred by any person who raised in an orphanage Madrasah. So I think an orphan adopted or nonadopted a proper education is needed for him. If a child put up for adoption it should ensured that they have a bright future and a proper education. And I think these criterias should be included in the papers. Who doesn’t have the minimum ability to ensure their food security and proper education they can't adopt orphan. If it is not ensured, later we can see that they will be used for various kinds of works or beg by a dishonest cycle.
So the processing of adoption must be perfect. Though sometimes prospective parents fail to meet up but the processes to adopt children should always long and should require lots of red tape, with requirements. I think the rules doen’t make to be less strict. If the rules became less stringent and the children suffered for it, it will not be worth. If it seeing that there are more children in homes than there are in orphanages it will not always be good. in orphanage they get a proper the guidance.
There is no chance to involve with any illigal activities. But in family if an orphan don't get the proper guidance and discipline he might deviate from the right path. So I think it is better to be raise in a proper way even in orphanage than an improper way in family.
