ADOPTION AND FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAMMES

Introduction
The individuals of the society need to be in constant interaction with one another as it
aids in their internal development and their welfare. The members of the community play a
significant role to this extent whereby they impart the needed customs, norms and traditions to
the younger generation (Yoong et al., 2016). It is the youth of a community who are given the
important responsibility of ensuring that they are able to continue the growth of the society.
However, in this context, it needs to be understood that there are many individuals of the society
who do not have a family. Their parents are no longer with them for different reasons and this
adversely affects their form of interaction with the society and their general welfare (del Pozo de
Bolger, Dunstan & Kaltner, 2018). Furthermore, a child may also face certain obstacles in their
growth in spite of staying within their family. Such challenges may occur in the form of a
strained relationship which they might share with their family members. The purpose of this
paper is to understand that in order to eradicate this social challenge and to ensure the holistic
growth and development of all the children in the society, the governments of various countries
have formulated policies with respect to adoption and providing family care.
Key issue and key population
The key issue which is addressed in this paper is that there are many children of the
society who are unable to get the proper care and affection which they are entitled to. Many of
such children do not have a family and hence, there is a need for adopting them. On the other
hand, a few of such children are living with their family members but because of a strained
relationship, they are unable to get the affection and a holistic environment for their
development.
