Answer to Question 1

The student should indicate that public adoptions are those that are arranged through licensed agencies that place children who have often been in foster care in adoptive families. Private or independent adoptions are those that are arranged directly between birth mother and adoptive parent(s). These types can be contrasted concerning length of time required, screening processes, cost, and tendency toward corruption. Concerning time, public adoptions can take a long time, up to seven years, while private adoptions are usually much quicker. Regarding screening processes, public adoption agencies may resort to screening based upon marital status, age, income, and other standards. As far as cost is concerned, private adoptions can be thousands of dollars more expensive than private adoptions. Finally, concerning corruption, private international adoptions can involve exploitation, corruption, fraud, and baby-selling.
