This all sounds very humane, does it not ? The parents get screened thoroughly before they are allowed to adopt. All in the best interest of the child.
Morroco has however imposed an unbreakable rule. The Belgian parents have to be muslim. And Morroco is not the only country which has such rules. The congregation of mother Theresa, that still has a stranglehold on adoption from India, imposes that the parents both have to be catholics (note that the main religion in India is Hinduism, followed by Islam) as well as being maried in church. The list of countries imposing rules is long.
Can somebody please explain to me how this is in the best interest of the child ? In Belgium state and religion are divided. Moreover, secularism is ingrained in every aspect of society.
What I do understand is that Belgium (the country where the child is going to live its life, yes ?) imposes rules. Against child trade for example. But accept rules that will marginalise the child ?
No, that I do not understand ...
