The Right to Self-Determination... Choice of Parents

Studies document that children can reason
and make decisions by 3rd or 4th grade.

Children who are orphaned or of divorced parents should be given
the right to choose their foster/adopting parent/grandparent.

As it is now, the decision of who parents is a one-sided decision:
only the potential parent chooses the child.

Decisions should be on both sides.

Children younger than age 9 or 10, even babies, know and intuit

the quality of potential parent-caretakers.
More studies that prove this would be beneficial in supporting this right.

The Right to Choice of Parents for children must be
included in
the Rights for Children.
