A few weeks ago, a friend of mine was asking me, why ugandans do not adopt children, yet they are so many of the who need love and care . When i though about it later , i realized it was true but here is what i found out.
We as a country base so much on culture and evry one has a tribe where they come from, and a clan that they belong to. When one adopts a child, you will not know what tribe or clan they belonged to , the problem comes when it is time to introduce that child to your clan members , it is a taboo to introduce a child in a clan they do not belong to, so most people fear to do that.
We come from extended families , By the time one is a grown up, you will probably have dependants already.
If its in my baganda culture, every child belongs to a clan , these means if you adopted a boy, when they grow up they will want to estabilish their own family line , problem is they will not know where to start from.
BUT one answer i have for my friend with Jesus everything is possible . Its high time we tried to change things around and give everyone a home to belong to.
