response: I do not. But speaking of adoption, did you know that adoption requires recognition from society ?
original_response: I actually know several families who have adopted children. It's really awesome to see how a permanent home benefits the children
history: Have you ever known anyone who has been adopted? I just recently met a girl who was and I would have never been able to tell.
knowledge: Unlike guardianship or other systems designed for the care of the young, adoption is intended to effect a permanent change in status and as such requires societal recognition, either through legal or religious sanction.
