Nearly everyone in the United States knows something about adoption. Some people believe that if you give your child up for adoption that you are a terrible human being. I believe that in certain circumstances it is in the child’s best interest to be placed with a new family. Many people face difficult times in their life and sometimes it is not the best circumstance for them to have a child or many children. And in other circumstances two people are very well fit to be parents but are unable to conceive a child. In my opinion, adoption is a great thing; it allows children the opportunity to have a better life and for adults with health issues to be blessed with a child, or children.
There are a multitude of stories in the world involving
Or take into consideration the story of the mother who gave up her son but still gets to be a large part of his life thanks to an open adoption.
As someone who has an adoration for kids, it is very intriguing to me to hear stories of children being adopted and put into better situations.

My best friend has benefitted from adoption along with many others, I only mentioned a few stories. I stand for Adoption because i’ve faced it on a personal level. Take adoption to a personal level for yourself. Think of how you would feel if you were in a bad situation in life and could not care for a child, but you found out you were expecting. Would you abort the fetus or put the infant up for adoption? You could help a couple love a child that they could not conceive themselves by going through with an adoption. If you and your spouse could not conceive a child but wanted to, would you like for someone to offer you their child that they could not care for? In this circumstance you could help that child grow up in a good home with a good life. Why would anyone be against helping others, especially children? I stand for Adoption for the many obvious reasons. I also understand that some people disagree with adoption and that is fine because everyone is allowed their own

Adoption is in place to balance, to nurture and create a structural environment of safety in which the child can thrive and develop into a productive individual contributing to society. Also, it allows older children to abandon old maladaptive behaviors and make their first steps toward the construction of new behaviors influenced by their new environment. In years past, parents who adopted a child as an infant often debated whether to tell him or her about the adoption. Many children grew up not knowing they were adopted, and the birth mother’s identity was kept secret from those who did know (Ashford, LeCroy and Lortie 249). This paper provides facts on widely acceptance option of open adoption rather than the traditional practice of closed adoption. Adoption separates real biological family members, removing the adopter heritage whether the adoption is open or closed. Open adoption can lead to problems, but there are proven facts that open adoption is the best option for all parties working together in the best interest of the children.

I believe that an adopted child has more hurdles in developing than a biological child. I also believe that a child who is adopted later in life will have more issues than those are adopted earlier in life will have. I also believe that if the foster parents and adopted parents are have good intentions and work together the child will be able to complete each stage successfully.

Many women who carry unexpected or unwanted children are left to decide between keeping the child, adoption, abortion and maybe foster care.

The best things in life come free to us. Our parents are one of the most important and fundamental in our life. However, people generally wonder, do adopted children feel the same way we do? Adoption is not easy, it's full of risks, simply because no one is aware of the future, the person adopting a child will never know how the child will react once he's aware he's adopted.
