As you all know by now Korea is determined slowly cut of inter country adoptions (whenever possible) which means that they will try to make bigger effort in first of all keeping children with their birth parents or immediate family or relative and if the birth family for some reason isn't capable of caring for the child they would either try to get the child adopted to another family in Korea or maybe put in a foster home.
At a last resort the government supposedly would have to consent to international adoption.
Let's say you already have adopted once and know you're interested to add to your family by adopting another child from the same country (which would become the first child's sibling.) The government has enabled adoptive parents to get state funded help which would encourage adoptive parents to adopt more than one child.
Here's the difference when a child can't be raised by its birth parents or close relatives and the option of placing him in foster home or being adopted domestically by other Koreans if all of those efforts have failed. Then and only then would a child be placed up for adoption. The child has a right to be raised by parents (bloodrelated or not) and also to a family.
But the adoptee has no right to become a sibling (by adoption) even though the Swedish government is encouraging adoptive parents to adopt more than one child.
Do you think adoptees should be entitled to siblings? Would you have liked a sibling or two (if you were a lonely child) ?
I solved the issue with my comments I switched from Internet Explorer to another webbrowser. Problem solved.
