Fostering older children seems to be the closest thing to not problematic. Tho it's def not for everyone.

I've toyed with it conceptually in the US so what will be best with the best approach will vary differently in South Africa.
I wish u luck.

One of the issues with this is that the kid will often be part of a community, also with a specific culture, which you would be uprooting them from. I think even though people may not be official caregivers for kids in a community they may be invested in their wellbeing etc and to take that away is a problem.
I think you're probably better off asking radicals here who want to or have adopted. Still curious to see what people here have to say though.
I'm convinced it can be done ethically with some effort and care, especially by comparison to bringing a new kid into the world. Will chat with you about it off-raddle if you like.
