From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Adoption is a process whereby a person assumes the parenting for another who is not kin and, in so doing, permanently transfers all rights and responsibilities from the original parent or parents. Unlike guardianship or other systems designed for the care of the young, adoption is intended to effect a permanent change in status and as such requires societal recognition, either through legal or religious sanction. Historically some societies have enacted specific laws governing adoption whereas others have endeavored to achieve adoption through less formal means, notably via contracts that specified inheritance rights and parental responsibilities. Modern systems of adoption, arising in the 20th century, tend to be governed by comprehensive statutes and regulations. Adoption has a long history in the Western world, closely tied with the legacy of the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church. Its use has changed considerably over the centuries with its focus shifting from adult adoption and inheritance issues toward children and family creation and its structure moving from a recognition of continuity between the adopted and kin toward allowing relationships of lessened intensity.

From that point, research online for 5 facts that will support your point...then, you will have to elaborate on your evidence. At the end, restate your point, and leave your audience with a killer final thought. Good luck! P.S.- Don't forget eye contact...visual aids work great too. Answered by Kelly F - Wed Nov 8 21:06:53 2006 How soon after an adoption is final is it considered appropriate to see someone? Q. I gave a child up for adoption recently, and have been receiving date invitations, and have turned them down. However, I do wish to date. How soon is it "alright" to do so? Asked by Kati S. - Tue Dec 25 16:18:11 2007 - - 11 Answers - 1 Comments A. I think you should get on with your life as soon as you are ready. Just make sure you don't repeat past mistakes. I'm proud of you for making a loving choice for your child. It was the hardest choice and I'm sure even harder after you gave birth. I am the mother of a 28 year old adopted daughter. I prayed frequently for my daughters biological mother and I suspect there's someone out there praying for you too. Answered by School Nurse - Tue Dec 25 18:58:36 2007 Why are people opposed to adoption not speak out against adoption from orphanges?
Q. Do children from orphanages not feel the need to know where they came from? It seems adoption is considered alright in this forum if you adopt from an orphanage or adopt from dead parents. Why? Just curious because a lot of people here talk about this problem or that problem but when it comes to adopting from orphanage, they are mum. What does it say when someone is dropping their child in an orphanage, Are people opposed to adoption also speaking out against people dropping their children in an orphanage? I know this is more than one question. You can answer one or all of them. Asked by Al - Sat Jul 10 03:37:46 2010 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A.
