I need help with my speech about adoption!?
|
Heeey everyone!
I am doing a persuasive speech on adoption (supporting adoption) and I am really stuck on what to write.
I need to have 3 major points. I have a few ideas, but I'm not sure if my ideas would fit for a great mark.
PLEASE HELP ME.
Thanks so much.

Adoption:
1-- Provides children with Adults to care for them and raise them when something has happened and their biological parents are unable or unwilling to parent.
2-- Offers society a method of providing a child with an Advocate for their needs who might offer direct and un(less)divided attention to those needs.
3-- Is the most affordable, and sensible way to meet the needs of both society's obligation to children without parents able and willing to parent and provide for the best interests of the child. |

I can't help you with the pros. Plus you really need to do your own work. There are many resources out there if you want "pros" for your speech. You might need some rose tinted glasses though, to fully accept them as the truth. |

If you wrote a speech about adoption reform and wanted help it would be easier to offer suggestions.
Personally speaking I agree the suggestions already made about adopting from foster care and adopting children whose parents are unwilling/unable to parent such as due to any form of abuse/neglect, if the parents have died.
The problem is not all adoptions are ethical so it's better to concentrate on the ethical ones. |

Dear Clancy,
Man, that's a difficult request for people who are very educated and concerned about the state of modern adoption practices. (You really should be thinking of this stuff on your own...)
1. When used as a SOCIAL SERVICE for children without families, adoption can be a positive experience for the child and the family. (Adoption is SUPPOSED be about providing families for needy children, not finding children for needy families.)
2. Adoption provides approximately $1.4 billion dollars to the US annual economy. (Never mind that it isn't right to "sell" people.)
3. Adoption provides employment for thousands of people. (Adoption Facilitators, Social Workers, Lawyers, Lobbyists, "Birthmother" Recruiters, Advertising/Marketing/PR Workers, Maternity Home Employees, Therapists, etc.)
Here's some further reading for you:

http://www.exiledmothers.com/adoption_facts/adoption_industry.html
http://www.keepyourbaby.com/industry.html
http://www.adoption-articles.com/adoption_business.htm
Those are the best "positives" I can come up with. Good luck on your project, I hope next time you have a more palatable and "easier to argue" subject and position. |

This isn't the right place to get any positive feedback on adoption. A lot of people here don't like the system.
Personally, I'm an adoptee and my life is fine. I have no regrets about how my life turned out. Others here...not so much. |

Share your ideas, maybe someone here could help you build on those.
I am personally stuck on what to suggest....so maybe providing something you have started to focus on would help.... |

I strongly advise you to go to a more pro-adoption place, such as http://adoption.forums.com/
You won't get a lot of positives here. |

1. It`s impact on the government expenditures on welfare for the orphaned....(it`s a positives...since adoption would enable the country to have less orphans to feed.)
2. Morality, perhaps...
3.Alternative to expensive In-vitros, artificial insemination and etc. |

Here are a couple statistics:
There are 150 million orphans in the world.
In the US, there are 300,000 children waiting to be adopted from the foster care system.
80% of couples consider adoption at some point, but only 3% ever follow through.
And of course, every child deserves a family. |

1) Adoption saves a life, providing a constructive childhood where there wasn't to be one in the first place.
2) It's unethical to have more children and add to an ever-growing population when there are so many uncared for children in the world already.
3) Many willing parents cannot have children, whether it be due to an inability to conceive through the defects of one or both parents. If they are qualified, willing parents should have the same ability as any other couple to raise a child. |
