Carrie Vs Matthew

A terrible accident in 1999 left them without their youngest child three year old Nicole. With their four sons they desperately wanted another little girl. Although they say that they were not wanting to replace the daughter they had lost. They had been trying for 15 years to conceive

For many people, adoption is the only choice when it comes to having children. Once someone chooses adoption, however, there is always more than one option available. It is important when choosing adoption that each person involved is educated on the topic. There are three main types of adoption: confidential, mediated, and fully disclosed. “In up to 90% of domestic infant adoptions, adoptive parents maintain some contact with birth parents. It's considered best practice because most women want to know what happens to the child and the child wants to know family history” (Koch, 2009). Even though the adoptive parents may not create a strong bond with the child, an open adoption is better than one that is closed because children respond

This letter is to recommend Tony and Kristin Woodsmall as adoptive parents. I strongly believe they would be the perfect family to invite a new little one into their lives. I have known this lovely family for about three years now and have enjoyed getting to know them on a personal level.

The second corner of the triangle, the adoptee, had very different affects from the adoption. Each adoptee found out a different way and had different feelings about learning they were adopted. While some adjusted and accepted the news as to never give it another thought, there are many that did not. According to The Encyclopedia of Adoption, “Most adults who were adopted as children appear to have successfully resolved any conflicts stemming from their adoption” (Adamec, C. & Miller, L. 2007, p. 30). Having been adopted and knowing many adoptees, I must

Adoption provides the opportunity for children to be raised in a healthy environment in cases where their biological parents can’t provide for them nor are they sufficiently capable of raising a child and taking responsibilities. Adoption gives children the opportunity to get the resources necessary to thrive which the parents provide security, education, protection, and skills needed for success. They overall provide comfort creating a lifelong relationship with the child despite the circumstances that has led to them being adopted. However, despite the positive experience that is life changing not only for the child, but as well as for the parents, there are myths that do prevent people from adopting. These myths deny the opportunity of a

This is their second marriage. They are both medical professionals and small business owners. Melissa and Matthew are college graduates with some post baccalaureate education. After years of trying to conceive and being unsuccessful, Melissa sought out a fertility specialist and was diagnosed with endometriosis over five years ago. Melissa and Matthew do not have any children together. Matthew has three adult daughters from a previous relationship. Matthew has a complicated relationship with his daughters (as a result of previous relational difficulties with their mother) and as a result, has limited contact with them. Melissa and Matthew are caregivers to two adult males with intellectual disabilities. To date, Melissa and Matthew have not made a decision about whether or not they will seek treatment or consider other options such as

She knew that there were other options of becoming a mother. There were several options to choose from such as fostering or adopting. She thought very hard before she came to a final decision. She knew that if she became a foster parent, she wouldn’t be able to raise the children and would have to give them up eventually, after creating a special bond with them, but she knew that she would also be helping these kids. On the other hand, adopting would mean that she would be able to raise them until they are ready for college or move on their own. She wouldn’t be able to help the child like she could for foster children, but she would still be able to help her child no matter how little the problem may seem. Tracey had a huge smile on her face as she admits, “It didn’t take a lot of time to think about because I decided to let my heart choose.” This time Tracey didn’t have a plan instead she just let her maternal instincts lead her to the right path. She eventually met her future husband, Bradley Fischer, at a tavern in downtown Grand Rapids. Even before they got married, both knew deep down that they wanted a family so after a few years into their marriage they decided to adopt a child from

Many adopters believed that they are truly saving a child from potential life of poverty or hardship.28 They believed that it is their moral duty to improve the child life but very different from the environment they used to live in, away from the crisis that it is currently happening in their county.28 They are able to give the children a stable family that can make sure that their needs are taken care of and they are able to give them a good education where it was not possible in the country of

Mathew stated that he is comfortable living with his mother. The child reported that his mother often gets home around six, he indicated that his mother checks his homework when she gets home. Matthew indicated that he completes his homework in the afterschool program.

Adoption is an alternative way to have a family; it is a lifetime decision that should be made very cautiously. Adoption is a process where parents are supplied for children whose biological parents are deceased, or for those children whose biological parents are unable or unwilling to provide for their care. "Adoption creates a parent-child relationship recognized for all purposes including: child support obligations, inheritance rights and custody (Aigner p 10). The children are provided for childless couples or individuals interested in becoming parents. "According to Dr. Ruth Mc. Roy at the UT School of Social work, there are approximately 5,000,000 US births each year. Out of that approximation 118,000 are adoptions.  Adoption is traced back to the bible. It is known that the Pharaoh 's wife adopted Moses, and Jesus was even adopted by Joseph. Adoption even goes as far back as

While there are those that will argue against adoption, the real argument should be; potential adoptive parents should plan sensibly and be prepared while considering all the details that will play a role in the adoption process. Forethought to all the factors is impossible; there will always be more questions, but they should not just jump in, adoption is not something you should make irrational decisions about. This is a lifelong commitment that will affect your whole family, also the life of a child. The public views adoptive children as the vulnerable party in adoption, agencies acknowledge that adoptive parents are also vulnerable. Prospective parents face stressful individual and collective role transition challenges as they anticipate forming a new adoptive family. (Farber 176) For some parents, adoption challenges mobilize problem-solving, coping resources, and adaptive resolution. For others, these challenges become stressors, overtax coping resources, and even contribute to family dissolution. (Farber 177)

Adoption is a hard process. It causes a lot of stress and causes people to freak out sometimes. You might not always get what you want but you have to keep thinking positive and you have to hope that good will come out of it. Some people aren’t able to have children so it’s a hard and long process and they have to wait for a long time sometimes to maybe be able to have a child that could potentially be theirs. There are different ways to have adoptions, most people will have an open adoption because they would like it for their children to know who their parents are. In the United States only, approximately 2.5% of all children in the U.S. are adopted. Also, the state with the largest percentage of adopted children is Alaska (Eligon 27-28).

During those summer trips to Kansas, Carrie started dating some of the people she’d met at the Yoder Church. This version of finding a future spouse didn’t appeal to her though. The boys were nice enough, but she knew they weren’t the ones she wanted to spend her life with.

The loss of the father leaves Carrie in a horrible state especially because of the ardent love she has for him. Through the use of comparison and contrast one can trace the difference between Carrie’s states before and after her father’s death and how this is considered one of the most compelling reasons of the anger she is experiencing. From the very beginning of the novel one can see the huge difference between the father and the step father in the eyes of both the mother and the daughter, as Carrie mentions her mother telling her that Richard “is as different from Daddy as a cow from a crow” (Flock 12), putting in consideration the huge difference between the cow as a sign of liberality and the crow as a sign of misfortune in many cultures. Additionally, Carrie sheds the light on the difference between the relationships between her mother and Richard and how it is totally different that the way it has been with her father. Carrie says “Momma and Daddy held hands down the sidewalk” (Flock 20), on the other hand, she mentions and narrates the long regular quarrels between Richard and her mother throughout the novel like when she says “Upstairs we hear Momma and Richard yelling at each other” (Flock 86). Undoubtedly, a loving family is the healthy environment where a child could live an anger-free life. In contrast, in a family environment full of problems and quarrels and sometimes violence, the mandatory result would be an offspring suffering from severe anger and psychological problems. Carrie Continues to compare between the lovely names that her father used to call her with like “my little princess” and “Daddy’s little princess”, and the names and abusive words Richard uses like “filthy
