Conns book offers an essential amount of information and knowledge on adoption. The
history of its process and how it has evolved. The author incorporates his readings of
primary sources and articles, as well as his personal experience in being part of an
adoptive family. He provides a conceptual historical framework. This content is crucial to
understanding the issues and rewards faced in the past regarding adoption.
Conns book is important as it offers key facts on the forgotten history of adoption that
deserves to be recovered. It offers a clear insight on different periods of history in order
to understand the motives of adoption and all the framework that it was created. How it
started in Mesopotamia, then continued to Egypt, and then spread to the Greeks and the
Romans. It continued to evolve to a second and third period in time, where adoption
parents and children grew in numbers dramatically in WWII both nationally and
internationally. It gives valuable historical information, including the concept on how
adoption reshaped the meaning of family. It gave a significant meaning and increased the
importance of how every child is entitled to a permanent and loving home.
The important information that is found in this book will be used in my research in order
to tell a brief part of the broad history of adoption and how it has evolved to this day.

Harnaks book offers an insight to different debates and stands on adoption, as to how
they can enhance and help attain better thinking on this issue. It takes an approach to the
importance of considering opposing viewpoints. It provides a tool for critical thinking
and pave a way to challenge readers to question their own opinions and assumptions, as
well as to understand their own perspectives and consider further evaluation.
Harnacks book opens a way to understand the numerous ethical issues and important
legal questions that affect adoption, where numerous ones remain unresolved. It also
focuses on legislatures, policy makers, adoption agencies, all individuals involved in the
process, and national organizations. Rather than taking a bias side, it offers both points of
views in order to acknowledge, consider and enhance ones stand and opinion. It is an
indispensable resource as it gives an honest perspective on adoption and its worth of cost.
As well as a detailed view on the supply and demand on adoption until this day.
This information will be used to state both advantages and disadvantage of adoption, as
well as how payment requirements lead to discourage or encourage individuals in order
to adopt. How they either reject or accept adoption after taking into consideration
payments, as well as the different attitudes and experiences individuals have undergone
towards paying for adoption. This include such as single parents and couples, as well as
adoption agencies that provide this service to the public. I will provide their stands on this
issue, how they are involved and what they do in order to be part of it.

the end of the journey of adoption and helps take into consideration the most important
factors in deciding whether to get involved in the process of paying for adoption. It offers
advice in order for individuals to make the right decisions, as well as not to spend
excessive money. This includes doing proper research, switching methods, not acting
impulsively, and avoiding getting robbed. It also focuses on financial and emotional
preparation as well as developing support systems.
An important evaluation on this content involved taking in consideration all the reasons
why individuals need to keep focus and move past challenges encountered on the process
of paying for adoption. It offers sane advice on setting sights firmly on the child that will
take part of the family and seeing the cost of adoption as worthy. It allows to see that it is
a difficult process that involves emotional, financial and practical issues that need to be
met with persistence and determination. It pursues to demonstrate that people paying for
adoption can find ways to save and not spend excessive amounts on it. Doing proper
research or paying for a facilitator to ease the search process, taking into consideration
the costs of both national and international adoption, value options and gain more
knowledge in order to avoid being a victim of a scam. It offers honest advice in knowing
that individuals should prepare their financial budget without compromising financial or
emotional well-being.

This are strategies that can be offered in order to ease the process and continue the search

for the individuals seeking it. It is proper to use this information in my research in order
to explain the importance of paying for adoption and that there are ways that can be
mutually beneficial to all the parties who are involved.

The book offers detailed information for the adoption policy and practice. It defines
adoption as a legal procedure where a permanent family is formed and its main focus on
the long-term welfare for the child. It takes an approach to the legal aspects and
procedures that make money a great part of the adoption process. It explains the context
of adoption and all the parties involved. It includes the importance of various options and
rights of individuals, background on the adoption process and other issues that can affect
the legality and financial matters in different ways.
Important information is given in the book focusing mainly on the different frameworks
on policy and practice of adoption. It offers indispensable information on how it begins
and all that encounters in order for the process to be successful. The context of adoption
involves three parties which include the birth parents, the adoptive parents and the child,
with adoption agencies acting as an intermediary. It gives an approach on the theoretical
framework that involves monetary means. This includes the welfare of a child before and
after the adoption process and how its interest and needs will be best safeguarded and
protected. They are necessary and important key factors to understand why adoption costs

and how it is vital for the continuity care, security and sense of belonging of those
adopted. Adoption continues to evolve and change, increasing its cost, including older
children, special needs children and international adoption.
The information obtained will be used in order to explain in more detail the policies and
practices that take the process of adoption to be so costly both, before the adoption
process and the aftermath. The information would be appropriately used in the research
paper to explain the context and the different approaches it encounters.

McGradys article offers honest advice on how to pay for adoption and explains how the
dream of becoming a parent can be a challenging process. The author is clear to explain
that individuals should pay for adoption, not because they are paying for the human being
but for the processes and services behind it. Spending money and paying for adoption
facilitates and open doors for opportunities for the child, the parent and the adoptive
agency. The expected expenses that need to be paid are mostly for legal matters, such as
home studies and background checks.
The author offers a great emphasis that all adoption processes are different, involving
diverse amount of policies, practices and requirements. It offers individuals methods and
hopes to understand and find ways to make their dream come true and see the value in
paying for it. It stated different options, such as crowdfunding, garage sales, as well as
taking loans.

Using the information obtained in the article could be used as a good way to present a
stand where paying for adoption should be required for the benefit of all. Adoption can be
a life-changing journey that can involve a difficult process, as well as a costly endeavor
that involves patience, time, and vast amounts of paperwork, but at the end will be
rewarding.
