Children are most likely to realize their dreams when they are under the love and care of parents rather than when they wander around alone. Usually, children without parents end up making wrong choices that pose consequences in their lives. Parents who adopt children are very meaningful in the lives of the children, since the parents selflessly and lovingly chose them regardless of the lack of the blood ties (Berry, 1993). Another advantage of adoption is that children who were born to families who are irresponsible and poverty-stricken get a chance of joining families consisting of committed parents and very stable families. Moreover, financially and morally stable families offer children better opportunities in life than families that may easily fail to set moral standards for their children. Furthermore, financial stability is also vital in supporting the dreams of the child and empowering the adopted children so that they may have to stand up for themselves in the future (Ishaque, 2008). In fact, studies show that adopted children are by greater health than non-adopted children are because adopting parents are raising their adopted children with love, while other
A Child and Caregiver Perspective Rosalie L. Noren Blackburn College This article is about how the transition into foster care can be hard for a child. Many social workers, psychologists, and therapists analyzed how a child's care and environment could affect their internal and external behavior.

Ralph Flynn is a California man who has recently filed a lawsuit against his parents for using him as a sex slave after adopting him at nine years old from a Russian orphanage. Ralph and Carolyn have been arrested for several months and their trial will shed light on the many abuses faced by Ralph during his childhood and teenage years. Adoption is a very selective process but international adoption may be less so. Every parent in the United States seeking to adopt a child must go through many tests and surveys before being approved as financially, mentally, and physically fit to adopt a young child; this process is to ensure that every adopted child has a good home. However, this process and its extreme rigor may change due to the relevance of this crime.
Levitt and Dubner discuss different factors that do and do not have a significant role in creating higher test scores. Levitt and Dubner concluded that a “child’s academic abilities are far more influenced by the IQs of his biological parents.” This is apparent due to the nature of adoption, typically those adopting are of higher economic class (adoption is expensive), are more educated, and are born into a better household. A person who puts their child up for adoption is more likely to be less educated, younger and more likely to “not take the same prenatal care as a woman who is keeping her baby.” This revelation was the fundamental argument of chapter 5: no matter what a parent does, the strongest correlation between higher performances in children is genetics.

I have gone through life associated with ownership and being talked of as if I am property. My childhood years of education have consisted of alternative assignments to those in regards to family history or the heredity unit of science classes. Within the faces of young children who stand with their adoptive families, I see a piece of myself and hope they will not struggle to endure the insensitivity to the culture of adoption and that their sense of identity will only be strengthened. I lacked an understanding of what would come of being a trans-racial adoptee and grew blind to ignorance at a young age, never gaining insight on the subject at hand. Although the culture of adoption has created uncomfortable and unfamiliar years, it also led me to challenge convention, embrace individuality, and find unconditional love from an early

Rhetorical Analysis Ruth Graham in the article, “Why Adopted Children Struggle Over Time,” explicates that adopted children are proven to have more difficulties compared to “normal” children regardless of when they were adopted.
