My research question is how does adoption impact a child and what are the positive and negative outcomes that come with adopting a child. Another question is how does adopting a child affect the family itself including other biological children the adoptive family may have.…

in foster care and sadly, there are only 135,000 children that are adopted in each year.

A. At the beginning of this project, I thought that the foster care system was…

All my life I have gone around doing things how I view them correct. The thing is I have never really taken the time to actually think about what I am actually doing, why I am doing what I 'm doing, and even how I am doing what I am doing. Throughout our lives, we are constantly asked what we like and or what we are good at, we usually answer with something like “I don 't know” or with something we enjoy such as art or music. There is so much more to us than just one single word and is why…
