Adoption

Adoption and Human Rights

Does international adoption by American families break any human right laws?

10,000 international adoptions to American families occur each year
-majority from American Adoption Agencies
Children's most basic human right is to grow up in a family
Is the child and object of a business transition?

Article 3: "Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person."
Adoptive children can not know the information of their birth parents. They do not have security of person because they were given to strangers for adoption

o Article 4: No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.
Are these children bought?
