No you cant, just because these countries are poor dont think they dont care for their children

Why on earth would you assume you could do that.

no matter where you go there are legal channels you have to go through to adopt a child..
sure you may b able to offer them more than what they have but still you have to do it properly if you want to adopt an underprivileged child..

No. That's called kidnapping.

How would you like to spend a few years in a poor African prison?


Zuko
You are a vile, wicked individual.

No. You can't just STEAL a child. It's wrong, it's unethical, and if you're SERIOUSLY asking a question like this, you're OBVIOUSLY not fit to parent.


cathrl69
How old are you, eight? Talk to your TV, do you?

No, you can't. Nor would you be a suitable parent. You need to do some serious growing up. Until then, get a doll or a puppy.


LaurieDB
No. It is illegal. Now go back to class before the teacher calls your mommy.

If you take a child how would you bring it back to the UK? You will need proper paperwork. Which means that the passport office, police and social services will be involved. So unfortunately you can't just take a child, you will fall foul of the law.

If you can give a child a loving home, it would be best for you and the child to go through the right channels. Best of luck

stop it, please.

No you can't just take a child. Poor people, even if starving can still love their children. You can't just go and take a child from a family. And you can't take a child to another country anyway without visa, passports and parental permission. You need to go through the proper chanels legally. I have heard of moms from starving counteries who let their children go so they could have a different life, but I dont' know if it was a foster arrangment or a gaurdian one.

This only applies if your name is Madonna or Angelina hunni -

You are not Madonna or Angelina!!

What do you mean if they haven't got a mother? How the hell do you think they were born?

Sure you can, go ahead and try. Report back to us and tell us how it goes please :)

no you can't do that unless you talk to the government + adopt the child 1st


Mei-Ling
Are you trying to pass off as a troll? O.o

The amount of CAPS LOCK alone is not really an incentive for me to take you seriously.

If it was... clarify?


Saskial
No, it doesn't work like that. You will have to fill out tonnes of forms to immigrate a child out of a different country and it to your own. Sorry

Good luck anyway

perhaps in a sense that would help out a lot of starving children. However it just doesn't work that way.

How would you explain that at customs?

haha no you cant just take one!! theyd have alsorts of paedos turning up i suggest you contact the brittish embassy or try the following links

just goodle adoption also you need to know that the child is also healthy and doesnt pose a risk to you or others it will come into contact with. good luck though


Randy B
Sure, just pick up a child and take it.....where? The country you take it from is not going to issue a passport to allow the child to leave the country without some sort of official paperwork saying you are its parent. Your government is not going to issue a passport to a non citizen to allow it to travel. As well, your government is not going to let it into your country without some sort of legal paperwork saying that it's your child.

Take the child all you want but you will only get as far as the next mud hut over without any sort of paperwork. All I can say is, enjoy your time in Africa.

NO NO NO NO NO do you even pay attention to the madonna fiasco. It is called kidnapping and unlawful detainment goodbye your life. God said to help not to kidnap just the parentrs are poor does not mean unloved. Basic child rights say that every child has the right to be brought up in its own culture with own parents. See the UN before they come and see you.


LindseyTaylor
ha ha are you like seriously 10 years old? what makes you think you can do that?

ok, no you can not go take a child. You have to go through an international adoption process. You will also have to do a home study and pass.


the_emrod
Yes that's right, becuase Africa is just one baby supermarket. You can trawl along the aisles and select the baby you like the most....


NO!
