I would think the role of the Department of Social Services is in the event that a child is being neglected, then they step in, but any girl or woman that wants to have her child adopted by a relative, a sister, brother or grandparents, realizes that the adopting parents are going to give the best care to these children. I do not know what the difficulty is. I would think the department would accept that the adoption took place and assist the individual through the legal process in order to have the child recognized by the new adopting parents. Other than that, does the department also screen to see how much the adopting parents are making, whether they are suitable parents, or whether they are too old to be adopting children? What would the criteria be for not recognizing custom adoption?
