Why Raise Other People's Children?

from The Why Factor · host BBC World Service

Raising children is demanding. It takes time, money and devotion. So, why would anyone want to raise another person’s child? In this edition of the Why Factor, Mary-Ann Ochota, explores what it means to be a parent. Can mothers who adopt or foster have the same connection to their children as a birth mother would? And, what does it say about human society that we choose to take in the offspring of others?(Photo: Family, Credit: Pressmaster/Shutterstock)
