Adoption!
Some news on television have shown that every time there are more children in institutions waiting to be adopted! Usually these children have more than five years and probably they never will get a new family! And why? The answer is simple, the couples who adopting children, prefer the children who have 2 years or less!
Is it fair to children staying the rest of their lives in those institutions without a "family" of truth? Do not they deserve a second opportunity? We can’t do something to change this situation? I think not because we can’t force people to adopt older children but we can improve the lives of them in institutions like helping in campaigns of solidarity, giving them the opportunities to have a normal life!
All of them deserve!

One day I'd like to adopt a
One day I'd like to adopt a child regardless of his/her age or race. I believe that some of those "older" children weren't adopted earlier due to the complexity of the adoption process (as usual, in Portugal bureaucratic procedures rule!)because adoptive couples must wait from 3 to 5 years to adopt a child. This is a very long and stressful process and some couples just give up! This situation ought to be changed for the sake of the well-being of children, because every child has the right to have a home, a mother and a father, to love and be loved...
