Explaining Adoption to Your Child




Explaining to a child that they are adopted may be a bit of a challenge. It is best that you tell a child at a younger age. Avoid the child being told by another family member. Stay calm if your child becomes angry, it is an expected reaction. Your child may also may become very calm and react to the situation later.  Make sure you give your child your full attention when explaining to them about their adoption. There should be neither phones calls nor interruptions.  Tell the truth and remember that they are a young child and you must be sensitive to their feelings. Avoid saying negative things about their biological family. As an adoptive parent, make sure you have answers to some of the questions that you think your child may ask. Explain to them that being adopted does not mean they are loved any less than a child who is with their birth parents. Let them know how excited you were when they came to live with you. Let them know how special they are to you and the family. Be patient if your child wants to talk about their adoption again and again and give them lots of reassurance.

Why is Adoption Better than Abortion?



 Some people do not view a fetus as life,but it is.  If the fetus were allowed to live, it would develop into a human life. Abortion prevents this from happening. Adoption allows a couple who wants to love a child and raise him or her have this chance to live and be loved. Loving is a beautiful thing that everyone must get a chance to do. It also allows the fetus to grow into a human life.I feel that there is no need for unwanted children. I am completely against it. I don’t think that is fair for the child or the emotions that the mother has to deal with after the process.

10 Reasons You Would Make a Terrible Foster Parent

So, I remember talking to someone about me being a foster kid. Later, she asked me how much  foster parents get paid. I was 19 at the time and was unsure of how much you "got paid". She then tells me that she thinks that she could use the extra money. Is it that profitable? The money that you get paid is mainly for the child's expenses. If you want to make a career out of being a foster parent, your views are wrong. I have seen situations where "foster parents" are driving around incredibly nice cars and the foster kids that they have look like they just jumped out of a dumpster. Give foster kids the life that THEY need. These are 10 reasons you would make a terrible foster parent. I was a foster child before I finally got adopted. It was a long process and it leaves a strong effect on some children. Give them the care that you claim you can provide. They have already been abandoned; they do not need the help from their foster parent as well.

Julia and Me

A mother adopted a little  girl ,from Russia named Julia, that suffered from Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) . This is a condition found in children who received negligent care and do not form a healthy emotional attachment with their primary care givers. Julia's mother talks about the emotional pain that she went through working with her daughter. The concern and love that she showed to help her daughter through her pain is so powerful. There is also a book about her  journey called " Rescuing Julia Twice".
