Title: Changing Adoption
Thesis: The way adoption works in America right now does not give the adoptee a say so, this must be changed. Through this plan the adoptee finally has a say so in a decision that they had no control over.
- The problem in adoption today is that the adoptee does not get to decide whether they want a relationship with their birth parents, this should be changed.
- The child had no say so in their adoption
- Should have some input in their own life.
- The solution to this problem would be to allow the child to make a decision at the age of 16 what they want to do.
- 16, because if they are able to drive, they can make these decisions
- Semi-Open until 16
- Pictures are sent from adoptive parents
- At 16 the adoptee decides what relationship they want
3. I believe that this is the best option because it allows the adoptee to have a say so.
