Child Adoption Persuasive Speech

“Many see adoption as a universal remedy for a host of problems from overpopulation to infertility” (psychologytoday.com). The process of adopting a child is very difficult. There are many problems with adoption such as cost, how long the process takes, and how many kids there are to adopt. To decrease the amount of time it takes to adopt, the process should decrease in price, become more efficient, and awareness should increase to make more homes for parent-less children. The adoption process should be made easier because it creates a better environment for a child to be raised in.

1. What can we do to fix foster care and what can we do to make foster care easier in the world? What can we teach children that are in the foster care system before they age out?

6 years ago my cousin, Payton, came to stay with us. At the time we didn 't think anything would be permanent. Now, six long years later, I couldn 't imagine what my life would be like without my brother.

To raise children is overwhelming alone, and requires a lot of commitment and time, not to talk about caring for an aged individual who needed more attention as she need help to with her self-care. Caring for an aged person is very tasking and need new skill in order to carry out daily activities. In this situation with Susie, she needed education, reassurance and how to enhance community resources

According to Crosson-Tower (2010), children enter foster care for causes such as but not limited to physical abuse, physical neglect, sexual abuse, emotional maltreatment, domestic violence, substance abuse, and physical or mental illness of parents. In addition, she states that the death of parents can cause a child to enter foster care if no available relatives could undertake their care. Many of these causes of child maltreatment may also come from parents who are poor, uneducated, and experienced childhood trauma (Crosson-Tower, 2010). Therefore, the cycle of child abuse and neglect will continue if not provided the necessary services to prevent and treat the

The proposed research is designed to create a questionnaire for researchers and practitioners to use to assess an Adoptee’s experience of oppression resulting from their adoption status. This questionnaire is derived from the current research on Adoption Microaggression themes found in earlier research conducted by Baden (2015); Garber and Grotevant (2015); Garber (2014); and Harrington et al (2010). This study attempts to confirm earlier research on the themes of adolescent adoptee’s experiences and if any of these themes continue on into the adult adoptee’s experience. Specifically using Sue et al’s (2007) microaggression framework this questionnaire can be used to understand the adult adoptee’s experiences or perceptions of oppression that

Minors in care show certain themes that can damage their reputation in adulthood. Acknowledged by Ainsworth and Hansen, movement of homes while being in care puts children at risk to someday be placed as a juvenile offender, become a parent at a young age, and to endure poor educational achievement. Thirty-eight percent of males and thirty-nine percent of females in detention have a history of being in foster care services (89). Ainsworth and Hansen also report that there are a number of fosters who are under seventeen years old and are pregnant or getting someone else pregnant (89). Allen S. Barton and James S Vacca, authors of ¨Bring Back Orphanages- An Alternative to Foster Care¨ state, because of foster care relocation, children are left with educational problems and needs (6). Educationally, children may receive low grades due to poor understanding because of how often they move from foster home to foster home. Children are not just having difficulties in

A. Topic Sentence-The Gladney Center of Adoption works to address this issue by placing children who are without a home with foster families.

Rhetorical Purpose: To inform the audience about what adoption looks like in today’s society, including what it is, an overview of the process, and the prevalence in the media.

Did you know that just in the United States over 3,000 people have abortions every day? An abortion is when a woman is injected with a fatal substance to kill their unborn baby. It is legal in all 50 states except one type of abortion procedure; Partial-birth-abortion. Women have abortions for many reasons, some being that they are not ready for that kind of commitment or they have been raped and got pregnant. An abortion should never be an option in any case because it’s considered as murder, it causes pain to the person and baby during and after the procedure, and there are other choices to choose from including adoption.

Childhood or infantile amnesia is the inability of adults to recall autobiographical memories from early childhood (Eyesnck & Keane, 2013). We are generally unable to remember memories from before the first three to four years of our life. By the time children are two years old, they are able to answer questions about recent events although they often need careful prompting to retrieve the memories. Over the next four or five years, children become better at recalling and describing important events in their lives and by the age of seven or eight, most children have well-developed autobiographical memories with the same rate of normal forgetting seen in adults. An extensively used method for testing childhood amnesia is the cue word technique.

Why would a single man or women give up on their freedom and decide to raise a child? Cherishing and sharing life as a family, is a worldwide need that any individual at a certain age would like to accomplish. However, in our today world people and specially adults are getting more independent and not

Adopting a child is a controversial issue. Many children go without homes, because the qualifications people have to fit are very high, and somewhat unachievable.However some people say that these standards should be high, because they want the child to go into the best home, but if they are too high, which they are now, people will not be eligible to adopt, because they do not fit the standards. The fact is, adoption should be made easier, so kids can find forever homes.

When I was only a couple of months old my mom and I were stuck in an airport due to delayed flights. The only luggage we had was my diaper bag and a backpack full of baby toys. I was miserable and cranky the whole entire time which didn’t make my mom feel better. At the time I had no idea what was going on but now that will be stamped in my memories forever. Memories are a key aspect in life because they affect our behavior, help us recall events that have happened in life, and last help us learn.

From he who endures the most deepest of sorrows, we hope to hear, “He returned time and time again to his love, his friendship, his comradeship, those human bonds which had all helped us overcome the thousand sufferings of the war” (233). In The Sorrow of War by Bao Ninh, Kien was a North Vietnamese soldier who fought courageously during the Vietnam War. He faced death and the hardship of losing each of his fellow comrades along the way. Upon returning home, Kien was a struggling soldier trying to rid his mind of the sorrow of war through writing. The novel not only introduces the sorrows brought on by war, but it emphasizes the importance of life. The importance of life is shown when Kien realizes his life has meaning and when he realizes life is too short and precious to have not made a close relationship with his parents.
