" As a result of this relative ease in adopting a child from the Philippines, specifications are also relatively easier to comply compared to other countries. Requirements include a budget of up to $25,000 for process completion, both married couples and single individuals can adopt a child, at least a parent must travel in-country for up to 10 days, and adoption is completed in 28-30 months (from completion of requirements to finally adopting the child) (Adoptive Families, 2009).
Adoption requirements and processing in China is stricter than in the Philippines, although both are members of the Hague Adoption Convention. Main difference between the two is that China, most often than not, puts up female children for adoption than male children. This is because of the country's one-child policy and cultural preference for a male, instead of a female, child. This limitation in the child's gender is not encountered in the Philippines. In addition, only married couples are allowed to adopt, with further restriction that there must be "no more than 2 previous marriages allowed for either spouse." Parents are also matched with children, wherein older-aged couples (50-54 years old) may be matched with special-needs children. The whole adoption process is usually completed for a period of 39-42 months (Adoptive Families, 2009). It is worthy to note that despite its stricter requirements, China's increased promotion and encouragement for international adoption is no different from the Philippines. Like the Philippines, China promotes foreign adoption because of the monetary gains that adoption processes contribute to the country's public (government) wealth. It was reported that international adoptions bring in "U.S. $3,000 per capita in madatory orphanage donations and an additional U.S. $1,000-2,000 in other fees and expenses paid by adoptive parents in China" (Johnson, 2002:388). Foreign adoptions have become so rampant and "profitable" that domestic adoption is weakly promoted, if at all, by the Chinese government (ibid.).

With this in mind communications strategy has to be developed and implemented. The central debate remains that of degree of uniformity. The pros and cons are obvious, i.e. economies of scale, consistent message across markets, centralized control, different market characteristics, media availability and costs and government regulations (Balabanis & Diamantopoulos, 2011). The stronger argument appears to be that different strategy appears to work in different situations, rather than a

The framework centers strengthening the compatibility with existing values and practices to also ensure a high level of simplicity and observable results, two other factors crucial to creating an effective framework (Rogers, 2003). All of these elements must also be unified with a simplistic model to make sure the nurses can see the value of the system and their ability to manage it as a resource, not be

Same Sex Adoption Why is the idea of a same sex couple adopting a child an anathema to some conservatives, evangelical Christians, and others that tend to lean to the political right?

Is it because they believe only their heterosexual union under the banner of Christianity qualifies
