Adoption is a beautiful thing but telling the child he or she was adopted is a stupid thing to do, just make sure the child grows with love and care – Nigerian cleric, Apostle Okose

Nigerian cleric, Apostle Emmanuel Okose, has expressed that while adoption is a beautiful act, revealing to a child that they were adopted can be harmful.

In a social media post, he stated that some information, like a child’s adoption status, should be withheld, as it could negatively impact the child’s mental well-being.

‘’ADOPTING A CHILD IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN TO ANY WOMAN OR MAN, BUT ONE OF THE FOOLISH THING MOST PEOPLE THAT ADOPT CHILDREN DO IS THAT THEY END UP TELLING THE CHILD THAT THEY WERE ADOPTED, THAT IS A VERY STUPID THING TO DO.

WHERE WERE THE PARENTS OF THE CHILD WHEN YOU RAISED HIM OR HER, WHERE WERE THEY WHEN YOU GIVE THEM SHELTER, THERE ARE CERTAIN INFORMATION THAT YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO GIVE TO YOUR CHILDREN, THEY LOVE YOU,YOU RAISE THEM OUT OF LOVE, YOU RAISE THEM OUT OF CARE IT DAMAGES THE MENTALITY OF THE CHILD, IT’S BREAK THE CAPACITY CONFIDENCE OF THE CHILD, NOT EVERY CHILD CAN TAKE IT.

 SOME CAN TAKE IT WITH MAJORITY BUT LEAVES THEM BROKEN BECAUSE YOU ARE THE PEOPLE THEY KNEW AS THEIR PARENTS THEY WILL FEEL AS IF THEIR LIFE WAS A LIE.

 THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PAPA ARE  YOU SAYING WE SHOULD LIE, ARE YOU CRAZY SHUT THE HELL UP, THERE ARE SOME CERTAIN THINGS YOU DON’T SAY, MAKE SURE THAT THE CHILD GROW UP IN LOVE AND CARE WHAT GOOD WOULD THIS INFORMATION DO TO THE CHILD IF YOU’RE TELLING THE CHILD THAT HE OR SHE WAS ADOPTED ARE YOU STUPID OR SOMETHING I BEG RECEIVE SENSE.”
