Psychologists have attributed this to the fact that the privation prevented her from forming an attachment or learning any language skills during the critical period of her life, up to two and a half years of age. A further case study was that of the Czech twins who were locked up by their stepmother. This case differed slightly as they were discovered at the age of seven; and as they had been kept together psychologists believe they may have been able to form some sort of attachment with one another. When they were discovered the twins were unable to talk, however after spending several years with the people who adopted them, the twins went on to become and IT technician and a trainer, and live normal and happy lives. This suggested that the privation for the twins was not long lasting, as they were intellectually equal to most others and had no problems forming relationships.
I think that the outcome of this confrontation was that she understood that it is wrong to hit the child in public places. 3- No one in my family or close to me had been referral for special needs as a child or older students. However; my sister’s neighbor was referred for special needs because the father and mother were having family problems, and I believe that these problems affected their children. The couple recently divorced and one of the girls had trouble learning and talking. So the social worker went to my sister house and asks her if she had seen any kind of child abuse?
My parents realized they would soon have to spell things out, as many parents do. As soon as I learned to spell, which wasn’t long after I learned to read, my parents had no hope. I had entered their secret world of language, and I wasn’t leaving anytime soon. This love affair with language and books continued well into elementary and middle school where I surpassed my Accelerated Reading points every six weeks. My parents and I even had a system: when we had finished dinner, we would go into my room and snuggle up with a book that either they or I had picked.
She discusses briefly about three different families and part of their stories, why they chose adoption, and how they adoptions are all different. One is because they had miscarriages, and that is an open adoption so the child is still in touch with his biological family, another because they just felt they needed to adopt, and other one was a single lady who realized just because she is not married does not mean she could not have a child so she chose to adopt. See not one is the same story, they may have similarities, but not one is the exact same. What are some of the questions people ask when they decide to adopt is what she than discusses in her article. “Why do I want to adopt?” “Can I handle an open adoption?” “What kind of child am I ready to adopt?” “Have I come to terms with my infertility?” “Can I handle being "different" from other families?” than she gives short answers for these questions.
For mothers day, I created cards wit the children but instead of writing ‘Sul y mammau’ we wrote ‘diolch am bobeth’ because a few children in my class have lost or have no contact wit their mothers. Instead myself and the other members of staff encouraged them to give it to someone who cares for them eg. Mothers, fathers and grandparents. 3.) When planning activities for boys and girls we do not just set out the colors that are consider the norm for each gender.
And in the following paragraphs I’m going to tell you some of my experiences on my first days in U.S. As soon as we came to U.S my mom told me that I have to start the school but she said “don’t worry the school is bilingual, they going to give you the classes in Spanish and they going to teach you English too” so I didn’t worry. When we get to the school the first person that we saw was the security lady and my mom ask her something in Spanish and she didn’t understand, so I get a little be nervous because I thought that if it was a bilingual school why she didn’t understand Spanish. Then we went to an office to subscribe me in the school, and was glad for me that was a least one person that speak Spanish. She said that a in the beginning I was going to take the regular classes in Spanish and two classes to learn English. So I thought that it wasn’t bad if I was going to take the classes in Spanish that means that the other students talk Spanish too.
Hannah’s mother has never believed in email or texting so she would communicate with her family through letters. After college, Hannah moved to New York and developed depression. Because of her depression, she wrote love letters to strangers and left them all around the city. She began to get emails from people asking for a love letter from her. She wrote over 400 letters in the next year to complete strangers who needed them.
I knew I couldn’t care for the baby like I wanted to. I was unemployed and I just started going to school for my GED. I knew there would be a family out there that could give the baby the world, I knew I could of but it is better when there are two parents there for support. When I went to my first doctor’s appointment, I asked my doctor if I was a bad person for wanting to give the baby up for adoption. She said no.
In Mother Tongue Amy made a great point when she spoke about how when she was fifteen years old her mother would have her call people on the phone and pretend it was her in order to ask and receive the correct information she needed. “I think my mother’s English almost had an effect on limiting my possibilities in life as well.” In this quote Amy is discussing that because English is not her first language it could have jeopardizes her future in school and how she would educate herself all throughout college. Most people can relate to this because she already has disadvantage growing up and attending school as a young
“’It’s important to know where you came from… we don’t have a history. Our history begins the day we were adopted into a new family,’ said MacNish.” Adoptees have been effected by not being able to know who their birth parents are. There is a sort of hole in their existence without that information. They believe that without their birth records their birth parents still have a control over their lives even though they gave up that right when they put their child up for adoption. MacNish states “that it’s not about his birth mother’s privacy, but about his right to his own history.” Another argument Suzette Parmley, Inquirer Staff Writer, writes about in, “A New Push to Open Adoption Files,” is that the release of birth records is needed to find medical history of an adoptee.
