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). Although this could be very difficult for the adoptive family, the adoption should be in the best interest of the child. If the family puts their issues aside, and provides emotional support to the biological family, it will be easier on the adoptee. It is said that the adoptee will be less likely to rebel, and will have a better understanding of why they are in the situation they are in (Rompf 3). If the adoptive family keeps the child’s best interest at heart, the adoptee will see this and have more respect for the adoptive family.
Anyone who has raised a child can understand the many obstacles and challenges of parenthood. Every parent wants to see their child happy and succeed in life, but in order to accomplish that, many parents believe they must grant their child’s every want and need. Ruben Navaratte Jr.’s article from the San Diego Tribune, “The deprived child who has it all” is shared to be aimed towards the parents of the new millennium. Navarette bring up the issue about parents of the new millennium who make the mistake of ironically providing too much for their children. In the opening paragraph of the article, Navarette shares his own experience of growing up as a child in the 1940’s.
I actially see some of myself in the little guy.” Anyone who’s a parent or has a sibling knows that feeding, clothing, and looking after someone obviously isn’t a WASTE of time. Thus, their statement contradicts itself and reveals that what these numerous Stepmothers/fathers and adoptive parents are doing serves a huge purpose in the children’s lives and in their lives as well. It also reveals that through caring and spending time with the child, the adoptive/ step parents start to view the child as their
Throughout this essay I will explain why I believe that Sam should be given custody of his daughter, Lucy. To be a good parent, the most important thing you can give your child is love and in this movie we are shown how much love Sam provides for his daughter. Once Lucy is born it is made very clear that the most cherished and precious thing in Sam’s life is
Elizavette is his secure base and when she left the only way he knew how to handle the loss was to act out. When she would return he would cling to her because he needed that feeling of security but would hit or yell at her because he was also showing her that her leaving made him upset. I do not think there is any true answer to children who go through resistant attachment. I feel that everyone reacts to things in different ways and especially at a young age it is hard to reason or explain to them what is going on. I think that if you have two very patient and loving parents the child will learn to cope with it as he or she grows up, like in the case with Noah.
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.
Evaluating your options of adoption or raising your child ("parenting") is the most important decision you will ever make in your life. This is one decision that should never be rushed. As you consider your options, remember that your circumstances will change. You probably will not always be single, not always be poor. Your parents anger will probably diminish when they see their grandbaby.
People insist that the savior sibling may end up feeling unwanted and used just like Anna but this remains an isolated case. Parents like Jason and Lesley Gregory who end up looking for savior sibling insist that they did so not only to save the life of their daughter and that they love both their children and will tell him his purpose when he’s older. If anything were to happen to the first sibling then having the second sibling will cushion the blow. They insist any other parent would do the same given the chance (Johnson). These parents who create savior
He believes this is where kids will learn self independence and motivation. I agree with this and believe that if this is done, it will maintain a good parent to child connection. Finally KJ replies that siblings work together to get things done or for a reward. And she tells that different rules may apply to different children at different moments. I again agree with is once
Providing the necessary support like financial aid and psychological consultation to all coming mothers could serve as the best way to avoid deaths resulting from abortion. We should be careful when we consider an abortion, the world is too beautiful to live in and life is too valuable to be simply erased with a knife or a needle. No one, especially innocent unborn children, should be killed before they get to explore this
