Race, religious beliefs, or cultural differences should not be the sole reason to prevent an adoption from occurring. If a family meets the necessary criteria and have successfully completed the necessary requirements to receive a child then adoption agencies should allow them to adopt any child they choose. Interracial families will face difficulties but even the average “normal” family will have obstacles they will encounter. The concept that adoption agencies have about providing the best option for the sake of the child needs to include addressing high wait times. The solution could be placing the child with a family of a different race.
The adoptive parent is the most difficult party to persuade when it comes to choosing open adoption over closed adoption. When the adoptive family first glances at adoption, the first thing that comes to mind is usually closed adoption (Christopher 2).The first glance is usually a selfish one. This is because most adoptive parents want to be the only set of parents in the child’s life. When the adoptive parents take a closer look at the adoption process, open adoption is usually the result of their decision. Although, when the birth parents examine the disadvantages of open adoption, one main point that is mentioned is that adoptive families might feel obligated to provide additional emotional support to the biological family (American Pregnancy Association 1).

Child Custody The biggest question that divorcing parents face is who is going to retain custody of the children after the divorce and what role will the other parent play and to what extent. Most parents stress about the outcome of the child and how the divorce will also affect the child. Prior to the 1970’s most mothers were awarded majority of the custody, in the 1970’s research began to show that it was more beneficial for a child to have equal time with both parents, if they are both “fit and loving” (Demo & Fine, 2010, p.66). Although laws have changed to provide father’s more time and access to their child/ children research does show that although some divorced noncustodial fathers become closer to their children after the divorce, the majority greatly reduce their involvement with their children (Bokker, 2006). This is more harmful to the child’s wellbeing on many different levels.

Even though some kids don’t have the same circumstances as others, they should still be made to go to school until they are a legal adult because it will help them get a better job, make better money, and provide more opportunities for themselves than they might have if they dropped out at the young age of sixteen. Free public education is something that the United States has that many other countries in this world is not fortunate enough to have. To be able to send our children to school for free and have them receive a education to help not only better themselves, but also better out nation is one of the main reasons so many families immigrate here. From a young age, most children learn that in order to succeed, one needs to go to school and excel. This, unfortunately, is not always an option for kids.
More couples are choosing either to not get married, get divorced or even homosexual couples are raising children and are considered to be a family. The trend is now more non-traditional than what would have been the norm fifty years ago. This essay will attempt to look at how the changes in family structure impact our children and the different family structures that now do exist and their consequences to mankind.
