Ethicist Case Study For Adoption

Who knew that something so beautiful could be so difficult? Adoption led me to a season of surrender, hurting, and healing, but most importantly, a place of grace and perception.

The Haunting of Sunshine Girl is a novel by Paige Mckenzie. The Haunting of Sunshine Girl tells the story of a girl named Sunshine and her friend Nolan. She moves into a new house and ends up going to a new school, but she ends up getting bad feeling everywhere she goes in this new house. She also finds all of her stuff being moved around and hearing a little girl walking around at night, so she decides to recruit Nolan to help her figure out what is going on her house and how they can get rid of it. Then, they figure out that Sunshine has a unique ability to help light ghosts move on and they end up getting rid of both of the ghosts in her house. There are several themes that I thought of while reading this book. The first theme is, it’s a long road, but

If a child is unwanted, who should take care of them? Should they go to the next of kin or someone who can love them? The granddaughter lives with her grandmother in a house, yet it is not a home. She is taken care of physically but her emotional needs are left unnurtured. The walls in her room are empty, there is nothing but a bed and the suitcases that she will never unpack. “She forgot why she had gone in the girl’s empty room, that ungirlish, tenuous lodging place with its bleak order, its ready suitcases never unpacked…” She feels unwanted by her own father, as well as her grandmother, these relationships are broken... but the granddaughter has no

In this acclaimed short, Borders by Thomas King many themes occur through the rising action to the climax making it a truly symbolic book about identity. This story is set on the border of Alberta crossing into America where there are two remaining BlackFoot reserves on each side. The mother who is the protagonist and the son who is narrating a story of a mother visiting her daughter across the border with the border patrol as the antagonist. This story is a portrayal of an example of being categorized into different sections depending on what you call yourself. It is about refusing to integrate into society's norms or to be ignorant to think people are divided into a limited amount of groups. The prominent themes of this engaging short story

Written by former NPR correspondent, Mary Louise Kelly, the story is interesting and kept my attention, however, I would not say it was heart-pounding.

No, the child should have the right to know who her mother is when the child reaches the age of understanding. Mrs. Whitehead could have expressed her feeling to the Sterns and both parties come into an agreement regarding the child. The court has awarded the Sterns temporary custody, however is this decision in the best interest of the child? Speaking from my own personal experience, not knowing until the age of thirty three that I was adopted, affected me emotionally. Although, the decision made was possibly for my best interest.

In the short poem “Marks” my Linda Pastan, you are given an insight on the life of a wife who is also a mother of two. The setting of the story takes place in a standard family home, but instead of feeling like you were home it felt more like school. This poem is an extended metaphor; the author uses grades a student would normally get in school to compare to how her family measures to being a mother as well as a wife. Now through dialogue you can tell that she is not actually receiving grades for the required chores she has to do but it helps communicate the message to the audience. Due to the fact that it’s easy for just about any one reading this to relate to a grading system cause we all have received an amount of schooling before. The

The foster care system is successful in helping these children have an equal opportunity and a chance for a “normal life”. Foster care requires protection and the service to children to give them the best family and provide the wellbeing of the child. By removing a child from their given home and into safe facilities, it can give them the necessary resources to grow and adapt. Indeed, a foster parent can learn to love a child as if they were their own and provide for them just as a parent should. In a news report, “Love revealed in brokenness,” a foster mother explains how she fought a biological mother in court to win custody of her future foster child. As a foster parent, she grew an attachment for the child and loved him, but torn at the fact that she was not his real mom. In effect of having to take a child from their real birth mother, it is often a challenge for most foster parents. She describes the hatred she once had towards the biological mother and how afraid she was in possibly never seeing her child again. She learned to overcome the feeling of hatred and was appreciative of the fact that the woman gave her son the gift of life, and brought him into the world (Russell para 4). After all, these children deserve a chance to have a family who loves them as if they were their own. Rarely, but still occurring, mothers rethink adoption and want custody of their

Single parent adoption can result in several benefits for both the adopter and the adopted.

The issues that children face today are intense and tremendous. These issues continue with discrimination in adoption. These people see by color instead of the child. The love for a child should not matter by the color of their skin, but by who they are. Children need loving homes with caring parents. If an adopter did not want a different race child, they would have not accepted the adoption. If the government was just to take the child away, then they should not have given the child to them in the first place. Interracial adoption is a fine way to rescue a lost child and build a loving family.

Whether male, female, married, single, conservative or liberal all people have a moral compass. The moral compass in Freakonimics does not point in one direction creating a new approach to economics. Authors Steven D. Levitt and Stephan J. Dubner suggest viewpoints on crime, abortion, and education from an economic prospective while ignoring the right or left minded political viewpoints.

Thesis statement: Research so far reveals that children with reactive attachment disorder cannot feel genuine emotion because they fail to develop a secure attachment which leads to underdeveloped primary emotions, neurological deficiencies all of which result in inappropriate emotional behaviors that follow them into adulthood.

San Francisco Chronicle shared a story about a young girl who was adopted at the young age of five alongside her biological brother, Michael*. Her adoptive mother, Meredith*, was caring, but her adoptive father, Tom*, sexually assaulted her a number of times. She was only sixteen when he raped her, and she became pregnant. She did not tell anyone in fear of being separated from Michael. She was also worried what Tom might do to Michael and Meredith if she revealed the truth. When she was about fifteen weeks pregnant, she turned to Planned Parenthood (without Tom’s knowledge) and received a $550 abortion—free of charge (essentially from the government).

Amongst all of the warnings that are released through social media, emails, or even via radio, it can be difficult to distinguish between which ones are false versus those that are undeniably true. When learning about the sex trafficking warning, I can conclude from the reading that it is indeed a truthful topic, while the RFID warning is completely false. Based on the readings, the main points of evaluation that both authors used in different ways are perspective, reality, and emotional appeal.

Many people are believing that a child should know and some believe they should not know their birth parents. One side believes that they should know their biological parents because it will sustain a healthy mindset for the child and they should be able to know their medical records. Another side believes that they should not know their biological parents because it can cause confusion for the child and the child can want revenge if they were put up for adoption for a bad reason. An adopted child has every right to know where they came from. They have the right to know who their birth parents are and their medical records. As soon as a child reaches the age of being an adult they have every right to begin the search of their birth parents and nobody can stop them. A child should not be confused for the rest of their life and always question who they really are. They have the option to
