Is there any connection between these three things? I know that Russification is Adoption of the Russian language, that pogrom denotes excessive violence, and that Jews were refugees because of violence towards them in Russia under Alexander III. But how is Russification related to the words "pogrom" and "refugee"?
Thank you for any and all help.
Your question is interesting, little lady, but I don’t have an answer for you.

If the relatives of a child live in another country, and the child does not have in-country relatives who can care for him or her, would you approve of international Adoption for that child?
(I know some people prefer guardianship, but formal adoption is generally required for an immigrant visa to be issued to the child by the United States, because guardianship is not set up as a legally solid enough arrangement to meet US immigration requirements. Thus international guardianships are not currently a realistic option. So that’s not an idea we can default to.)
The child would still lose a major piece of their culture, language, and heritage not being raised in their country of origin. They would still be issued an amended birth certificate. Do you feel it’s worth it to remain with biological family? Or would you prefer some kind of domestic option for the child even if it meant separation from living family members? Which is more important?
Just curious.
I believe that there is no "blanket" way of handling adoption. Each one is different and should be "judged" on it’s own individual issues and circumstances. At all times, I believe that the CHILD should be the focus of any decisions and his or her rights and interests should be protected. That being said:
In my opinion, FIT (<—key factor), willing and able biological family members should be the first choice, regardless of where they live, in any adoption. Even if legal records "must" be altered, the child still has a greater chance of retaining the truth. (As you know I do feel that permanent guardianship is a more preferable option when available but when it is not, I think kinship placement is preferable to stranger adoption whenever possible.)
If a child’s family is living in a separate country from Chances are that even if they are in a different country, they will still have knowledge of the child’s native language and culture. (Immigrants still retain their native tongues and traditions and missionary/expat’s immediate families are generally "aware" of; if not well versed in, the other culture and language of their loved one’s chosen countries.) The exceptions being distant relatives the child has never met, as AnnaBelle pointed out.
In those cases, cases of older children (Does a 15 yo want to move to another country?), emotionally fragile children (children who would be poorly effected by such a drastic change in circumstances)or children who’s interests are better served by staying in their native/home countries for some other reason should have the opportunity to do just that. Again, I feel that anytime a child needs to be placed away from their biological parents, it is the the CHILD that should have the emphasis and this question highlights the need for that kind of discretion. You asked what is more important, but I think that it depends on the child and the circumstances. There is no answer that will be right or wrong for every situation. The CHILD is most important.
I find myself having very strong parental instincts, and i do believe that i can do a lot of good helping a child grow. However, i’m a progressive and radical person and i would not want to have to marry somebody and the only way i would "send" a child to school would be if one asks.
I would be willing to relocate to a different country (although probably not USA) if that would help, but i’d like to know which countries have the most helpful adoption rules (i.e. they actually help with the adoption process rather than trying to put road blocks in place). Is there a comparison somewhere on the net?
Australia, definitely – they’ve almost completely banned adoption now, which is utterly excellent news.
Hang on a minute… there’s all these women being told that they should abandon their kids to adoption because all kids deserve two parents, so why in the world should a single person, male or female, be allowed to adopt? Surely that’s contrary to why people are being encouraged to abandon their kids in the first place?
Sadly though, yes, if you’ve got enough money, you can buy almost anything. I think, given the right case worker, and given the right incentives (e.g. money), pretty much anyone could get away with being able to adopt someone from somewhere, somehow. That doesn’t mean you should though.
I’m also one of them "bitter adoptees" that people like to rant about. I actually love my afam very much, and it’s because they are such a fantastic family that knowing that I didn’t know *any* of that about myself hurt so much. So I give you warning; as an AP, you’re never gonna be able to win. Even if you’re good, you can still lose.
I was abandoned to adoption at 7mths old, and would like to give you a word of caution – not to put you off being willing to help a child who honestly and truly needs help, but to make you aware that adoption isn’t always the rainbow farting unicorns as depicted in the media.
I honestly and truly wish that I’d been aborted instead of abandoned to adoption, so please be prepared for the fact that any kid you adopt could grow up (I’m 37, so definitely and legally a "grown up" in pretty much everywhere) to be as screwed up as me.
I didn’t have a bad Adoption – my afamily are the best I could ever have chosen… but if I’d been able to choose, I’d've chosen to be aborted before birth instead, ’cause at least that way the lifetime of agony I’ve gone through would’ve been over in minutes, instead of the decades I’ve been suffering for now.
I’ve been in reunion with my bfam for a while now, and even that’s proving to be completely agonising.

For the adoptee every day is a challenge of trying to figure out how to be, although he probably doesn’t understand the difficulty this presents for him. It has been true his whole life and, therefore, feels normal. However, it takes a great deal of energy and concentration. And it never feels quite right. He never quite fits. Therefore he feels as if /he/ is never quite right.
(pg 50)
Abandonment and neglect are reported to be the two most devastating experiences that children endure – even more devastating then sexual or physical abuse. That’s why some neglected children do naughty things to get attention. Even though the attention is hurtful – being yelled at, hit, or otherwise harmed – it is better than neglect. /Anything/ is better than abandonment. Abandonment is a child’s greatest fear. For adoptees, it is also reality, embedded in their implicit and unintegrated memory.
(pg 102)
It is sometimes difficult to spot grief in children. After all, it isn’t as if the child sits in a puddle of tears his entire childhood. As one adoptee said, "Of course I played, laughed, sang. Do people think that if you’re not sitting in a corner with your head on your knees, you are not sad? I had happy times, but the sadness was always there, even when I was having fun."

Comprehend that lot, and you’ll be about ready to adopt. 
My wife and I are the mom and step-dad of a 12-year old girl. Our daughter’s bio dad (in Indiana where they’re originally from) wants to voluntarily terminate his parental rights because he has court ordered no contact with her due to sexual abuse and he’s in bad health and can’t afford child support and his increasing medical costs.
We’re all in agreement that this is the best thing for our daughter, but the Indiana court will not allow him to voluntarily terminate his rights. I’ve looked on the internet and I *think* we can fairly easily inititate a step-parent adoption here in Arkansas where we live since the bio dad is in agreement.
I have two concerns: (1) The lack of concrete information available on the internet about the ease of the process worries me, and because we can’t afford to hire an attorney right now, I don’t want to walk into something I can’t handle. (2) I don’t know if the Arkansas Adoption would override his child support order AND terminate his rights.
Not legal advice, of course!
It is my opinion that you REALLY need to get an attorney for this. Do you think that the bio father might change his mind if you don’t act quickly? In Texas, this process should cost about $500 if you "lawyer shop".
I am pretty certain that any adoption will override his child support order and terminate all rights. You would be replacing him as the legal parent. He would have no rights and no further financial obligation.
Generally most states will not allow voluntary relinquishment without another adult ready to step up and adopt, and this is a good thing for the most part.. it ensures that children always have 2 legal parents responsible for them.
The fact that you have 2 states involved here too is one more reason to get a lawyer.. you don’t want to take any chances of something not being done to the letter and coming back later to bite you in the butt.
It’s possible, depending on income and other factors, that you might find free help through legal aid in your area, or at the very least, they can often refer you to attorneys who will offer reduced cost services. Some attorneys will take "payments".
I know how frustrating it is to not have money for an attorney and to be told "you need an attorney!!" over and over but in this case, I think you really do need to try and find one.
I just found out I am pregnant and I am a little scared do. Do you know of any free literature or good boosk and magazines? Thanks so much!
I used what to expect when expecting it was awesome, also babycenter.com, or you can sign up for a free subscription of baby talk or Parenting. Also you go to the formula websites(enfamil or similac not sure on the exact addresses) they have good info or pampers.com & huggies.com they have a lot too. congrats and good luck
I can honestly say that no, I wouldn’t.
I think the fear and hatred that is bread into christian children far outweighs these "loving" homes that you all speak of.
I’d be horribly ashamed if my kid turned out to be like one of the fundies on R&S.
depends on the Christians. If they were crazy extremists then no but if they were very open minded and the kind of people who would not look down on my child if she/he decided to join another religion or turned out to be gay or whatever then yeah. I want my children to be raised with hearts and minds open to the diversity of the world and the wonder that brings. Only if the Christian could do that would I be okay with such an Adoption.
I am really interested in Adoption. My partner and I don’t have any children and haven’t tried yet either. My mum was an orphan and no one ever adopted her, i think this is where my passion for adopting our first child has come from. what are the age ranges you can adopt? I know it would be difficult to get a baby and the waiting list is huge, what about 9-24months? is that still classed as a baby?
No one adopted your mom. She went through her whole childhood without parents. Can you imagine that? I know I can’t. The older children are the ones who need you most. The older children and sibling groups that might otherwise be split up are in dire need of a loving home. The babies are going to be adopted because most people only want babies. The older kids know this, and that HAS to mess with their heads so much. Well, I guess you can talk to your mother about that since she went through that.
The older kids in care really need someone to look out for them and make them feel welcome and loved. Those would be the children who need help most.
I’ve adopted a russian cat 3 month ago, and no one seem to complain about it, ’til my dad start complaining that he’s having allergy from the cat after 3 month of the cat Adoption, and the cat stays im my room always, and we’ve got seperate air conditioner in our house, and also the cats poopoo bowl in my room. my dad has sinusitis, and there’s no contact between him and the cat, waht so ever, please help!! i really love this cat, n i really dnt want to give it up,please give an advice. PLEASE!!
Yes, it is possible. It takes time to develop an allergy.
Cat fur is probably carried on your clothes and spread around the house.
So sorry…
How about asking your dad to take an allergy test, before you get rid of the cat — just to make SURE that he really is allergic to the cat, and it’s not something else?
