In your opinion, should people be permitted to adopt children over the Internet?

Everything should be done over the internet. No tax though.

People should be permitted to use the Internet as a way of finding a child to adopt, but the actual adoption should not happen over the Internet.

No that's just not right.

How exactly does one adopt a child over the Internet: does the adoption agency email you the child?
Perhaps you're asking if adoption agencies should use the Internet to communicate with their clients; I fail to see how that is substantively different that communicating using the telephone or fax.

Dunno.

I don't think so, unless there is a really good way to tell if the child is going to a good home before the adoption is complete.

NO! Everyone on the internet are a bunch a freaks! Just look at all of you people!!!! lol I'm kidding!!!

I believe the last person to be adopted over the internet was Magbast. Case closed.

I dont think it is a simple issue, and my rather complex opinion is too long for me to bother stating.

Is it just me, or is there some mud-slinging occuring on SC?

i think we should be able to find information, research, contact the proper people in the proper channels but that the paperwork and transactions should be done in person. and the people contacted on the internet should be required to show or display the proper identification or license or certificate, whatever.

It's just you

mudslinging between whom?

Absotively, posilutely not! It can be chancy rhe way it is now let alone taking it one more step removed. There are so many kids that need adoption that aren't babies and aren't taken it's sad. They probably should be profiled but I think the parents should be selected carefully-not the kids.

If you are talking about ASexyBabestoy and magbast don't pay attention to them. They just recently became related.

No.
They first have to get to know the children.
