Post-Presentation Post

The topic that particularly caught my attention, was illegal tracking and monitoring. I would not have thought this was a problem in the United States since the Bill of Rights protects our privacy from undue searches. I was shocked to find out that this is not the case. Which is strange because illegal tracking doesn't even have an upside. The evidence is inadmissible in court because it was gathered by breaking the law making it fruit of the poisonous tree. I agree that this should'nt be happening in our country, whose premise is freedom. Who would have thought that a normal day at school could have introduced me to such a riveting topic.

PLN post # 2 - My Feelings

It is my belief that the adoption process should be more easily accesable. All the red tape only succeeds in keeping children from loving homes, and once that cycle has started it can't be reversed. Once children reach a certain age they are no longer persued by adoptive parents, who in most cases want to raise a child from birth so they can leave their own mark on the infant. It is important to find a family that is a good match, but adoption agencies tend to overstep their boundaries, looking for only the perfect parents to adopt. For this reason more and more kids are ending up in foster homes.

Issues in Adoption: Who deserves to be a parent?

I'm currently doing all my research out of a book called "Someone To Love" by Francess Lantz. In it are expressed many issues about the adoptive process but most of them center around who should be allowed to adopt. These issues include: Should interracial adoptions be allowed, Should people over 40 be allowed to adopt, and should adoption be allowed at all. All of these points have good arguments on either side but at the end of my paper it will be your turn to judge what is the right thing to do.
