Talk:Language of adoption

Removal of prod template

The article as it stands now has been moved here from Adoption, where it had existed for many months. The decision to move it off to a separate article was taken by editors as it is quite large and needs its own article. It is sourced and referenced, not original research. It will be improved upon further in coming days/weeks. Bastun^{BaStun not BaTsun} 09:20, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

It needs a lot of improvement. It is very low quality. The focus of the for/against reasons seems to be adoptive/biological parents' feelings. Adoptees' feelings don't get much mention. The format is also overly rigid. Are PAL and HAL the only ideologies ever to have existed in this area?! Salopian (talk) 06:27, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
