Increasing numbers of South African babies are reportedly leaving the country with foreigners who are being allowed to adopt them. Currently the number of foreigners wanting to adopt children outnumbers South Africans, especially when adoption across race is involved. This after the modernised Child Care Act of 1983 that has put in place guidelines for inter-country adoptions, thus sparking debate among children's groups. IOL has asked: "Should foreigners be allowed to adopt South African babies?" Of the 874 readers who responded to the question, 62 percent (544 votes) said Yes, with 8 percent (72 votes) saying No, while 30 percent (258 votes) do not care. Comments from readers: 36-0: To Vusi and Smanga, and now Siyabulela has also joined this group: What the 3 of you are proposing is "apartheid" on a global scale, where each race group must be left alone, and not be allowed to segregate or mix with others? Then why were you so opposed to apartheid, if you 3 want to propose separate development?
