...There are an estimated 153 million orphans in the world who have lost one parent. Another eighteen million has lost both parents and are living on the street or in orphanages (Winkler 912). In the world of adoption many have been confused on weather domestic adoption or foreign adoption should come first. There are several organizations created for each type of adoption, however there are not many that perform both. Thesis: Although every type of adoption should be prioritized the reality is that to be the most efficient they need to focus on one thing at a time. In this case they should focus on changing international adoption for the better by creating better costs, focus on pre adoption living conditions, safety during adoption, and post...

...Jyothi Reddy’s Childhood Anila Jyothi Reddy was born in Narasimhula Gudem in Hanumakonda Mandal, Warangal District as the eldest of four children to a common peasant who lost his employment during emergency. Her father joined in Army but could not continue because of his attachment with the family. The attitude he developed in the military was given to Jyothi as inheritance. As it was very difficult for the family to meet both ends, he was forced to enroll Jyothi Reddy at Balasadan - a government orphanage at Hanumakonda - as a motherless child. From 5th class to 10th class, Jyothi stayed at the orphanage. Life was tough. In winters, she used to shiver because of torn blankets. During summers, she used to stay at the warden’s house and did the household work for which she was fed. Going to her village was not an option. The empathy that Jyothi shows today to orphans is because of her own bitter experiences of the past. She spends considerable time with the orphans when she visits India. Marriage Jyothi Reddy passed 10th class with good marks and she aspired for higher education. But she was married off at the young age of 16 with Sangi Reddy.

...I grew up at an orphanage. More specifically, I grew up at Saint Innocent Orphanage, located outside of Rosarito, Mexico. My life at the orphanage was far from usuaI, but it had nothing to do with the fact that I was living in another country, with another culture. My situation was uncommon because I lived at Saint Innocent with not only my mother and father, but also a brother, a sister, a cat, and a dog. My family had moved to Mexico so that my father could serve as the priest to the boys that call Saint Innocent home. So, at the age of nine, I moved from the quiet security of rural life to the (slightly) organized chaos that is an all boys orphanage. Moving so young is never fun. It becomes even worse when your move crosses not only county...

...of age, I was placed into an orphanage with kids about the same age as me. At that time I did not know what was happening, or why I was going there. All that I remember about that day is that an old man with grey hair, a long scruffy beard, and a long-sleeve flannel shirt. I assume that he was my grandfather, but I still haven’t been able to confirm that. Some of the days while I was in the orphanage seemed to drag on for weeks at a time. The orphanage was really big; it was shaped like the letter E, if it was looked at from the sky. While some children played on the well designed play areas, the other children slept in beds for a majority of the day. If any child got up out of their bed, they would get the slipper on their bottom. As any child would do, I kept testing the staff that was in charge of the children sleeping. I was the only one getting the slipper and the other children would be laughing at me. This sometimes would go one for the whole day, but then I realized that it was not getting me anywhere. The children only ate breakfast and dinner; sometimes you wouldn’t get anything if you were very bad. In addition, the only thing that I did not know was that I was going to be adopted. When a mother and a father, about the age of forty to forty-five, came to the orphanage and asked if they could meet me and young boy who was name Sasha. Little did I know that Sasha was my brother. The mother and father told me that he had come to the orphanage when he was about two or three...

...A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini Staged in pre-Taliban Afghanistan, A Thousand Splendid Suns is the story of two women and the tales of their intertwined lives. It shows how few rights they had before the Taliban came in to power and how they were stripped from them under Taliban control. Hosseini shows many examples of how these women were abused and seen as 2nd class citizens. I decided to read this book for the required assignment due to many different reasons. One of reasons I selected this book are the current conflicts going on right now in that area of the world. Another reason was that I wanted to learn a little more about that culture. I also got a positive review about the book from my cousin who read the book in his free time and loaned me the book to read. The main reason I read the book was to see how women in Afghanistan are treated before and during the Taliban control. I knew from what I had previously learned in your class on how greatly discriminated Muslim women are treated. I also knew how strict the Muslim religion is, but I wanted to read about it, even if it was fictional. My cousin had told me about the two women in the novel before but never told me specifics on how the girls were treated. I just had to read for myself to find out. A Thousand Splendid Suns was written by Khaled Hosseini, an American writer and physician who originally came from Afghanistan. This is his second book, he first wrote The Kite Runner which was a U.S...

...A WALK TO REMEMBER A Research Paper Proposal Presented to the Fourth Year Department La Immaculada Concepcion School City Of Pasig In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements in English IV By LALALALALALALAL )) 02/17/14 Theme Analysis The Discovery of Faith In the early part of the novel, religious faith is presented only in the form of Jamie Sullivan as seen through the immature eyes of Landon Carter. He mocks her for her Christian faith, pointing out that whatever happens in life, good or bad, Jamie always attributes it to the “Lord’s plan.” Jamie has faith in God no matter what happens, and she shows it by carrying her Bible with her at all times. In breaks at school, rather than chatting with friends, Jamie prefers to read the Bible. Landon, on the other hand, has no interest in religion. He attends church only because everyone is expected to do so. It means nothing to him personally. But as he gradually gets to know Jamie his attitude slowly begins to change. He first mentions faith in chapter 10, after Jamie has confessed that she does not always understand what the Lord’s plan might be. He replies that one must have faith, although he does not really know what he is talking about, and he knows that he does not, and he soon steers the conversation away from God and toward romance. But after Jamie tells him she is dying, he faces his own personal crisis and turns with all sincerity to religion. He prays for a miracle and starts reading the Bible. Later...

...Issues in Foster Care Most people do not realize foster care originated in England in 1562. By law children from poor families could be placed with wealthy families as indentured servants. Prior to this law children were placed in almshouses, otherwise known as poor houses, which later became the foundation for orphanages. In the almshouses children were subjected to horrible conditions. Many were abused both physically and sexually or were severely neglected. Conditions started to change in 1853 when New York minister Charles Loring Brace started the Free Foster Home Movement which helped make the changes for the beginning of the modern foster system as we know it (A Brief History of the United States Foster Care System). Foster care has been used for centuries, and in the last century and a half the government stepped in and developed the Dept. of Health and Human Services. The Dept. of Health and Human Services began the foster care system in order to take care of children who have been taken from their homes because of neglect or abuse. Foster care came about because the old orphanage system was not working. There was almost as much abuse and neglect in an orphanage as the homes the children were being pulled from. The government had to come up with a better system for the children pulled from their homes. The government came up with the foster care system. The way that the foster care system works is families volunteer to provide a more stable environment than the children...
