Personal Narrative: A Long Process Of Adoption

A long time ago, in about 2004, I was born to two drug and alcohol addicts. We lived in Plano, Texas, in a disgusting apartment. We had cat and dog feces everywhere, and overall it wasn’t the best environment to raise a child in. But when I was about four and a half, my mother put me up for adoption without telling me. I ended up being adopted by my aunt and uncle, but although being four and a half, I will always remember that day vividly, because that was the first day I had experienced real love.

Throughout life I have experienced numerous events that have shaped me into becoming the person I am to this day. Out of all these events, my adoption has been the most significant and life changing event of my life. Two weeks before my first birthday in, I was adopted from Nanchang, China. As I grew up, my parents never once tried to conceal my adoption. Without them, I believe I would have grown to be a totally different person. Although I was adopted and brought in by my adoptive parents, I see myself in the everyday. I see them as nothing less than my real parents and I aspire to be as generous and compassionate as they are. Without them, I would have never been able to experience half of the life changing events I have gone through. As

When a couple or individual decides to adopt a child, they know they are going to take on the responsibility of taking care of someone else’s child. Due to the biological parent(s) who can’t take care of that child anymore, because of either drug abuse, alcohol abuse, abuse to the child or if the parent(s) had died and there is no other care for the child. So that’s why this gives other couples who cannot have kids, the opportunity to promise themselves to be a great parent to a child in need. Though there are some bad things about adoption as well. Like adopting a child from another country of another race, because once that child is adopted into an American family, he or she will be cut off from their culture and never know about their

I remember the day like it was yesterday. I just had got off the bus and I looked at my phone I saw I had 20 text and 8 missed call. I was wondering why I had so many text and calls before I could even look at them.

While many may think that adoption is wrong, like you are giving up on a child or a banding your responsibility that is not always the case. Because you see in my case it was a blessing for everyone involved. There are many couples out there that cannot have children due to medical reasons and want them. If you find the right family for your bundle of joy you both will live a happy healthy life. While still being a part of each other’s life. How you may be thinking? Continue to read this some sad, but very happy story and you too will see how Julia’s adoption was one of the biggest blessings in my life.

Well I am going to tell you some pro about adoption to rescue a child of your own to support and love him/her forever. Helping out the birthmother know a days there is mothers out there are teenagers that can support a child has not finish school so they make there decision to put there children down to adoption. Also they creat that bond with the adoption parents and family that bring them in. Sometimes there is not the same sex marriage that can take action in adoption not only straight parents so there is a a lot of options out there that are best for your child. The cons about adoption is challenging children that it's going to be a big struggle for them to contact there biological parents when they have no information or don't know them. Especially how long it takes to become a adoption parent it usually takes month and years to get it situated even a background check. Some children were blame about there adoption and sometimes has depression and low self steam. (Live strong,

“It’s about my entire life, it’s not just about my childhood. I want to know that I’m going to have someone to walk me down the aisle. That I’m going to have grandparents for my children.” -Mary (a girl in foster care). Adoption is a short term solution, and causes problems that has a lasting effect on a child. Adoption is the act of taking in a child to raise as your own. On paper, it sounds likes like an act of kindness, but adoption has many issues tied to it. Due to the many problems of adoption, such as the environment in a foster home, the people that lives in the home, mental instability, the process of adoption, same-sex parents, and transracial adoption, a child that experienced it could have an impact their life negatively, as

Adoption has been around for many years, as far back as the 1850’s. It was not as popular as it is now days, but many children who were in need of a home were placed with childless families. Throught time, it has not only helped others, but has brought happiness into their lives. Adoption is an occurrence where a child who is in need of proper care and a “Family Life,” gets brought into a family who will take care of

Adoption is a practice that is as old as time. It was spoken of in the Bible and has been proven as a successful way to make sure unwanted children get a home and family. Adoption can be a positive experience for those who cannot have a child and want to provide a loving environment. There are some who feel that people should take responsibility for their actions if they have the child. While I do agree with accountability, sometimes being a parent is realizing when the better option for the child is to give him or her to a family that could provide a more enriching life.

There is also benefits to adopting such as that the love and support of the adoptive parents are not only emotionally equipped but they are also financially ready to adopt a child. Also there is a greater chance for a good education and opportunity to attend college for the child. In addition to that there is a kind home environment and family life that the birth mother and father or any birth mother and father could desire for their child. Even though it sounds really bad, the birth parents might have given their child up for adoption for the fact they were not ready to give up their lives just yet, so adoption gives the birth parents opportunity to pursue their goals and dreams, whether educational, travel or career. Another reason could be that adoption gives a child the opportunity to make the goals and dreams that you have for a child come true. One might think that with whole statement, some might even say it is wrong, that a mother or father should not just up and leave a child. However, truth be told most of those people stated above are teens or people who just about to head into college. So even though, there are people out there who give their children up for adoption, we as an older generation have to remember that this is a world where we make mistakes, and getting a women pregnant on a one stand, however that’s why we are here to make mistakes basically, and that is stated for the fact that no

What is adoption? A dictionary would tell you it is “The act of adopting: the state of being adopted,” but is that really all it is (“Webster’s New Collegiate…”)? Many would say it’s less cold than the words crudely printed on that sheet. It gives a child a home and somewhere to be, with someone that loves them and will take care of them (“Adoption with the...”).Some would say adoption is a good thing, I am one of those people. The amount of children in foster care is steadily increasing, while the amount of kids being adopted per year are steadily decreasing (Johnson). One of my uncles went through this system. He had a mother who had beaten and abused from when he was just a baby. My grandma went to visit him occasionally

Adoption is when a child is removed from their home and are now under protection of another family. They can be related or unrelated to the child. It can be great for children, as they can live a better life than they would have had with their birth parents. The children may have endured abuse or neglect and need to get out of the situation, or the parents could have not thought that they were able to take care of the child. Either way, adoption is made to be in the best interest of the child. They will be given loving and dependable parents to give them an overall better life.

Adoption is a process whereby a person assumes the parenting of another. They are expecting the adopters to let the child they couldn’t take care of and treat them as their own biological child. Many people believe that if you're not biologically related that you aren't family but taking a child into your home is basically saying you will take care of them, love them and treat them as your own child. If a child is up for adoption they are looking for a caregiver to always love them; not to treat them as they are being babysitted everyday of their life. It doesn't matter where they come from, what their name is or their race, you are counted to love them forever. However adoption is a great thing to do it comes with some with some stressful emotions adoption can bring into your

In conclusion, adopting is absolutely something to consider. The most important thing to remember is that every child needs a safe and loving home. Any family who believes that they can provide security, love and safety to a child in need should consider taking this role. It is an unforgettable, life changing experience not only for the parent but for the child as well. Parents have the opportunity to provide that child a normal life which would otherwise be missing. Some researchers say that adopted children who were once in a foster care tend to misbehave or act a certain way in order to create a feeling of rejection, anger, pain and abandonment in their parents. This testing behavior may actually indicate that the child feels comfortable enough with the parent to communicate his or her own true feelings. (Welf Info Gateway 2012). This is a positive reaction which only solidifies the strong bond that parents will be able to attain with the new member of the family. The benefits of adopting are endless, and will only gain love in a child’s heart. Parents will absolutely bring tremendous joy to that child’s life. One thing is true, and this is that no one will ever know unless they experience this.

Society views adoption as a wonderful, beautiful thing that could be a positive effect for the adopted child, but cannot see the negative effects it has on the family as a whole or the biological children. From the perspectives of the parents adopting, the biological children, and of the adopted child, adoption is much more complicated than it initially seems. Families that already have biological children should not adopt children.
