Wouldn't this be better in adoption if instead of the tax payers paying for the births, medical, and income?
For adopted parents. If at birth the birth parents or natural parents have to pay child support to the child. For putting their child through this?
I think that there would be less adoptions and more parents stepping up to take care of their children. And a perfect way for the children to know who their natural parents are. There are more children born and up for adoption that the state has payed for the births.
In the case of Rape the father would be in prison and if the woman went to the hospital then they would have gave her a after morning pill. But the woman would have to file rape charges in order to get out of supporting her child. I feel sorry for the children that are told that they are a product of rape and it's not true. My son's ex tried that until she knew she would go to jail if any more lies were caught in court. Love the device of a tape recorer.
There are a lot of good answers. But if it was like having insurance on your car. If caught with out it they fine you and then you have to pay a service charge extra for 3 years. Like these mother's and father's having children they can't support and putting the child through wondering why the were gave away. Charge the parents after so many from the same parents thenhave them fixs were they won't have any more like china

I completely agree. I dont think it is fair at all for tax payers to have to fork over the cash for peoples personal decisions.
I think if a parent ever gives up a child, there should be some type of monetary support. Whether the parent has to put it in a trust for the child, or something like that. I dont think it is fair for adoptive parents to have to fork it out. It is one persons choice to give a child up for adoption, and anothers to adopt. None of these choices should affect tax-payers....but it does for some reason.
There are waaaaayyyy to many children in foster care/orphanages in this world. Maybe if parents were actually held accountable from birth, then something could be done about this tragedy

I honestly don't think it would be better. I mean if your child gets put into foster care or a ward of the state the mother or father must pay living expenses in Wisconsin. Although in most cases the family adopting the child offers to pay for medical expenses and everything else.

Great idea, but have you ever heard the saying, "You can't get blood from a stone"? Many parents I've worked with don't have the financial means to support a child to begin with. You would need to set up some kind of government bureaucracy to enforce this and it probably would cost more than it's worth. Great idea in theory, but not necessarily practical.
Unfortunately, I don't think paying support would lessen the number of adoptions. Every biological parent I've worked with loved their child/ren dearly, but simply couldn't overcome their issues in order to be effective parents. Forcing an addict, for example, to pay for his/her child's upbringing won't help them stop using.

Well, the ones who were giving them up because they couldn't afford them, wouldn't be able to pay the support payments and would go to jail. Then taxpayers would be paying for the foster care of the child and the imprisonment of the parents. Not a good idea.

of direction it incredibly is not any longer honest...it incredibly is fairly glaring that a lot of human beings have not got a rudimentary draw close on our tax scheme or uncomplicated economics... And sure.. a flat tax could be honest...each and every physique will pay the comparable share ..the wealthy pay 10% as does each and every physique else...(for people who don't comprehend.. the wealthy guy that provides you you with a job...could nevertheless pay better than you)... i think a number of our fellow posters don't comprehend the punitive nature of TAX BRACKETING.....

The fact of the matter is, if your idea were implemented, more children would be forced to suffer living with potentially abusive parents who could not afford to put them up for adoption. The children would never know love and it is almost certain that those parents who didn't want their children would kill them or abandon them. Unfortunately, babies are left in dumpsters and thrown into rivers everyday. If less people could afford to put their unwanted children up for adoption, more children would be hurt. A good idea, just not thought through completely.

NO that is a stupid idea... What about the people who have been raped or are stuck between a rock and a hard place. NOW WHAT I THINK IS WRONG IS THE ADOPTION FEE'S that people have to pay for getting a kid that is selling the child. Also people who get paid for giving there kid up for adoption THAT IS WRONG as well. THOSE TWO THINGS ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT SHOULD BE CHANGED. NOW IF PEOPLE DO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING COULD YOU IMAGINE HOW MANY ABORTIONS PEOPLE WOULD HAVE INSTEAD. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT....???? ABORTIONS ARE 100% WORSE THE ADOPTION.
EDIT: MY SUGGESTION FOR YOU IS NEXT TIME YOU ASK A QUESTION THINK FIRST.........................
OK YOU SAYING ANOTHER THING WITHOUT THINKING I SEE. WHAT IF SOMEONE WAS TO SCARED TO GO AND REPORT THE RAPE. WHAT IF THEY DECIDED AGAINST THE MORNING AFTER PILL??? HMMM... SOME PEOPLE ARE SOME DUMB AND IGNORANT IT'S FUNNY ACTUALLY.
ALSO YOU DIDN'T SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT THE ABORTION PART HMM... DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THAT DID YOU.
ALSO YOU MUST THINK IT'S OK WHEN PEOPLE END UP KILLING OR BEATING THERE KIDS/BABY'S CAUSE THEY DON'T LOVE THEM. WHICH WOULD HAPPEN CAUSE THEY WOULD BE FORCED TO KEEP THEM IF THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE IN ABORTION AND THEY COULDN'T AFFORD TO PAY UP. CAUSE I'M SURE THAT WOULD HAPPEN MORE OFTEN AS WELL. YOU MUST SUPPORT THAT.........................................................
OR THEY WOULD DUMP THERE KIDS AT ADOPTION AGENCIES ANOMIOUSLY
OR THEY WOULD KEEP THEM NOT LOVE THEM AND TAX PAYERS WOULD STILL BE PAYING FOR EVERYTHING.

I think that adoption agencies need to reimburse the Government for all births that are place for adoption since The agency charges the adoptive parents Medical Fees for their adopted child.
To me it makes since for potential "birth" mothers to have to pay to place a baby up for adoption. Extra fees to if she refuses to list the father because then you have to run front page ads to try and find the father so he can relinquish his rights.
Why is the government paying for births if the agency is also charging for births?

There are deadbeats everywhere. Somehow, they'd find a way out of paying for anything.
