I would like to adopt a Rohingya child. Are there any links you can share?

Nice to see so many people happy to crap on someone's good intentions.

Every time there is a humanitarian crisis in the news, people pop up wanting to adopt the kids.
Why do you assume those kids don't have families already? Why would youwant to further traumatize a kid in crisis by taking him or her away from everything familiar?
Why not focus on helping entire families stay together, rather than seeing it as a chance to take someone else's kids?

+1 I don't think OP means it this way but the wording is like one would use if you wanted to buy a dress or purse.

OP doesn't sound that way at all. You're projecting.

Sorry, she does to me too. There's a clear Savior Complex mentality shining through here.

Me, three.

Millions of kids need forever families. Plenty from backgrounds less cocktail-party sensational. Ask your DH's relatives if they can help you locate a reputable orphanage and start there.

+4. Savior complex is the first thing I thought.

educate yourself on adoption and international adoption, then get back to us.

if you care about rohingya donate to human rights watch or protest outside the burmese embassy.

I think OPs heart isn't in the right place, but would shy away from adopting a Rhohingya child for a different reason. The Rhohingya are being exploited, and an adoption of one of their children risks further exploitation (I know the OP doesn't want to do that) father the child, and their firs target family, along with countless others who may be exploited if more people seek to adopt Rhohingya children.

Typically adoption is not on the table when a crisis is ongoing because of this. OP, please educate yourself about international adoption, and when it is/is not allowed.

Protesting is going to magically improve these children's lives, right? Got it.

It's a hell of a lot more effective than fantasizing about adoption. If she really cared she'd donate to organizations providing aid to the refugees, not try to parachute in and take their children away.

Doesn't everyone remember the thread on someone wanting to adopt from Syria last year? Same thing. OP I know your heart is breaking for those children (as would any normal human being), but there are many ways to help aside from adoption.

THIS RIGHT HERE. There is a humanitarian crisis in Myanmar but it is man-made and it is not limited to adults. If you want to help Roningya children, call your US Senators right now and ask them to expedite refugee visas for ENTIRE FAMILIES. Not just the kids.

I remember that. I wonder if it is the same OP?

It might be a better idea to adopt a Bangladeshi child who is not Rohingya and is currently in a orphanage.

Current efforts are trying to reunite children with their families, not send them abroad.

You could adopting a Bangladeshi and tell everyone’s it’s a Rohingya!
