Nigerian cleric, Apostle Emmanuel Okose, has sparked debate online after stating that while adoption is a beautiful act, informing the child of their adopted status is unwise.
In a post shared on social media, the preacher argued that certain truths—such as telling a child they were adopted—could damage their emotional and mental well-being.
According to him, not all information needs to be revealed, especially if it risks destabilizing the child’s sense of identity and security.
‘’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.
