I need help with my persuasive speech on Pro Adoption. Please help.?

I have no clue to how i am supposed to do this. It is for my Speech 106 class and i have a paper written that will kind of help, but i am truely lost.

You can not really love a child unless you birth him or her. It is very untrue that the adoptive parents can not really love a child because they did not give birth to him or her. When a child is adopted, they are chosen. One seems to believe, “The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life” (Bach 105). The adoptive family chooses if they want a boy or a girl and how old they would like to have the child. It is true that, “By choice, we have become a family, first in our hearts, and finally in breath and being. Great expectations are good; great experiences are better.” (Fischer 106). They treat the child with much more love and care because they chose you over the other children they could have adopted. There are situation in life where the adoptive parents may have not been able to have a child on their own so they do the next best thing. They adopt.
Real parents give birth, and fake parents adopt. No. Real parents are the ones that love and care for the child when they are growing up. It does not matter if you give birth to the child or not. A parent is someone that loves you unconditionally. One believes, “Somehow destiny comes into play. These children end up with you and you end up with them. It's something quite magical” (Kidman 1). They take care of you when you are sick, they make you laugh when you are sad, and they are there for you no matter how good or bad you are. Just because you give birth to a child does not make you a mother or father. It is true that, “Every child deserves a home and love. Period” (Thomas 1). A mother and father are the people that raise you through the good times and the bad. It is really sad when the good people that try to have a child is unable to have one, and while the bad people that do it and have a child and throw them in the garbage have the child and just let them die.
Adoptee’s are not ment to have a good home. No. Adoptee’s are supposed to go into a better home and have a better life than what they would have. When a child is adopted, they are chosen, and they are ment to have a better life than what they would have in the life that they were born into. It is said that, “We look at adoption as a very sacred exchange. It was not done lightly on either side. I would dedicate my life to this child” (Curtis 10). Adoption is a long process, you have to go through months of case work with people coming to your house and watching your every move. If you are a fit couple then you may proceed to finish the adoption. It is a very good thing that they have places where people are able to adopt because if not I would not be here today.
It is very untrue that the adoptive parents can not really love a child because they did not give birth to him or her. Real parents are the ones that love and care for the child when they are growing up. Adoptee’s are supposed to go into a better home and have a better life than what they would have. When a child is adopted, they are chosen by the adoptive parents making them very special in their heart.

well the paper i had already written for my eng 101 class about the misconceptions of adoptees... i just had that as part of it so i might have something to base my speech off of.

i am adopted so don't get me wrong. i am writting my speech to persuade someone to adopt instead of having an abortion.

Ugh. This is awful to be honest. Who your audience is the first thing to figure out. Are you speaking about how wonderful adoption is to people who should adopt? Are you speaking to adopted people about how wonderful it was to be adopted? Or are you speaking to people who should consider relinquishing their children for adoption? Because as what you wrote above stands now, you are all inclusive with misconceptions and ignorant statements that offend.

Edit to add:

Holy heck you missed your target audience! If you are aiming to get someone to consider relinquishment instead of abortion, than you just really insulted them a great deal by what you wrote above. None of it takes any consideration of the emotional impact of relinquishment or what their child will go through. It appears that you are well submerged into the adoption is wonderful attitude which doesn't help any for real world issues of those considering relinquishment.

It sounds like the points you are making above are for those considering adopting a child into their family, not relinquishing their baby for someone else to raise. And to be honest, the above is written with some serious flaws about who relinquishing children for adoption and whether there is any value at all to biological connections.

Reading your paper is confusing, it could be just the layout. The word 'real' isn't used much in adoption any more because it confuses small children about parents.

You need some organization! You need to divide your paper into paragraphs, with each paragraph being a reason to support adoption.
(sub topic)
Maybe divide it up by the many reasons that first moms relinquish their children or the reasons first moms cannot care for them for a paragraph, focus on the love adoptive parents have for the children they adopt for another, characteristics of parents as another sub topic, and the adoptee experience as another sub topic. Make sure you use some transition words to help your language flow from one sub topic to another. Here is a list:

You will need to do some research to find information to support topics I listed...the information you have is misinformation and not accurate.

Good luck!
