This is a very important issue you need to work on...
A baby has been found abandoned on the steps of a church, and the mother has disappeared. You have been asked to send a letter to decide who should adopt the child. Think about the following criteria and mark the ideas as to how important they are, on a scale of 1-5 (5 = vitally important, 1 = relevant).If you were the one who has to make a decision. What would you do? At the end write your conclusion and reinforce it by mentioning your reasons here, where it says comments and print it out to discuss it next class. (20 or more lines)
The adoptive parents should:
- both be under 35 years old
- be a couple, i.e. the child should not go to a single parent family
- have some professional experience of dealing with children, i.e. as teachers or nurses
- have other children in the family
- both be in full time employment
- be of the same racial group as the child
- be either in the middle-income bracket or rich
- be married
- not adhere to any minority religious group or cult

Entre al sitio pero no supe que hacer.
hello, I am Tania and my scale would be this way because there are things that I don't see necessary and that they discriminate against the couples that want to adopt a child. I think that if economically they are prepared and they are also want to give him love I don't see the problem.
1 both be under 35 years old
1 be a couple, i.e. the child should not go to a single parent family
4 have some professional experience of dealing with children, i.e. as teachers or nurses
1 have other children in the family
4 both be in full time employment
4 be either in the middle-income bracket or rich
1 be married
1- not adhere to any minority religious group or cult
After analyze and think about the ideas, I decided to order as the follow way. I think the most import criteria (with number 5) are these:
5- be either in the middle-income bracket or rich
5- be married
Because I think the most important its offer security to the baby, then the couple must to have all the necessary to pay all the thinks to care a child. And it’s important the adoptive parents should be married legally, because it’s show the couple compromise to be a stable family and remain together.
At the 4th scale, I selected this idea:
4- be a couple, i.e. the child should not go to a single parent family
I think it’s a big responsibility take care a baby, then if it’s only one parent she or he must to support all that responsibility alone. And I think is important to the baby have the both parents images.
The next ideas I selected in a group, because these represent not critical criteria to make a decision; but it does prefer to offer to the baby a better atmosphere physic and psychology to live.
3- both be under 35 years old
3- be of the same racial group as the child
2- not adhere to any minority religious group or cult
2- have some professional experience of dealing with children, i.e. as teachers or nurses
At the last, the less important criteria are these:
1- have other children in the family
1- both be in full time employment
Because it is not a important criteria or, in the worse case, maybe it will reduce the attention and care to the baby.
I think if I have to take a decision, first of all I have to investigate the future adoptive parents.
3 I think its so important to be under 35 years old because they have to be sure in their own decisions, to be the best parents in the future.
4 To be a couple. I think it´s important but it depends in the moral ideas of different people, for me it´s important to give the child a best religion education.
1 I think it´s not important to have some professional experience of dealing with children, obviously, both have to love children but not specific be nurse or some like this.
2 have other children in the family is not very important, in te actuality, the best decision is to have only one child, to give him the best as possible, talking about clothes, toys, education etc.
4 Be in full time employment is very important to have a good economic life.
1 Be of the same racial group as the child it depends in the person but to me, the race is the same to all (white or black).
5 Be either in the middle-income bracket or rich. It´s such a very important criteria to give the child a good education, and to bring him the best as possible.
3 Be married it´s no much important, it´s only a society rule.
2 Not add here to any minority religious group or cult. To me it´s not important, it depends on the ideology of some people and the education that would bring the child.
Hello, teacher I think that if somebody want to adopt a child, that person should think very well about the consecuences, the cares, the time and all the necesary for a good quality of life for the child. Nowaday is very different the family in the cities because the way of life have been changing and most of the people have full time employment, want a succesfull career, dont' want to get mmaried, etc. So don't have time but they want to make a family and I think they can get the opportunity if they have the resources and the most important thing, the love and attention for the child.
The adoptive parents should:
3- both be under 35 years old
5- be a couple, i.e. the child should not go to a single parent family
1- have some professional experience of dealing with children, i.e. as teachers or nurses
1- have other children in the family
2- both be in full time employment
1- be of the same racial group as the child
1- be either in the middle-income bracket or rich
1- be married
1- not adhere to any minority religious group or cult
As conclusion, the childrens require attention and love, also the enough resources for give them all that they need so, It is an important decision in the life so It requires time to thinking and analize.

4 "Both be under 35 yaers old"
I think that it's good possible 'cos the they are a stable couple and could be an excelent parents. The age it's not a inconvenient for have a baby.
4. "Be a couple" For me, I think that it's good. All children need a parents, I think that it's better when the child has a parents couple.
2 "Have some professional experencice of dealing with children". It's not necesary have experencie with child, nobody knows all about babies.
4 "Have other children in the family". Sounds great, I think that in the family have an other child, the baby will have a brother and definitly has a realy family.
2 "Be married" It's not necesary, if they decide to adopt a child, they'll to love him, married or not.
I thing that the parents should be under 35 years old because they’ve to have energy to play with the child, and they’ve to have patience while the child grows.
They have to be married (and in consequence, they’ve to be a couple), because this expresses the desire to be a family a lot of time. Also, it expresses the idea of be a mature couple.
Not less importantly, it’s the fact that it's good for the child that they have other children in the family, because it expresses that they have the experience of dealing with children, and that they know the responsibility that this means.
It's very good that they are rich, because they have to give all the necessary things to the child for his education, alimentation, health etc. In these cases, "all you need is love" not applies to me.
I think that they don’t have to adhere to any minority group, because it's good that the child grows inside a "of a normal life", in another case, he needs an extra effort to deal with the differences with other children.
About that they have to have some professional experience of dealing with children (by example as the teachers or the nurses have it), I prefer the experience that have other children can give.
It’s not important for me that they be in a full time employment, also, I prefer that only one of them works, and in this way the other one can dedicate more time to take care of the child.
Finally, that they have to be of the same racial group as the child, I think that it doesn't matter, the important thing is the way in which they are going to educate their child.
I hope that this letter helps to make a good decision.

Hello Lupita, how are you?! Well i think this activity is too interesting and innovating.
I have been thinking about the situation with the baby and I think that the most important thing is the love that the parents could give to the baby. Obviusly there are cases where in order to do that, the family has to have a money enought to take care of the baby. Well I'll write the order of the criteria that I would do it.
5.- both be under 35 years old
Well, in this case I think that the persons who will take care of the baby must be healthy, and other important point is what the parentes really looks like parents for the baby, not like grandparents.
4.- - have some professional experience of dealing with children, i.e. as teachers or nurses . Sometimes the parents wants a baby, but they really don't know how a baby could be, and it's for this reason that it's better that the futures parents needs to know others kids in order to get familiar with the baby's needs.
4.- - be either in the middle-income bracket or rich. Well, sometimes a couple wants a baby, but, unfourtunatly, they don't have with money enought to attend the baby's needs like visit to the doctor, special food and other cares, and this is too hard, but I think that the baby needs a family that can give him/her all what the baby require.
3.- - be a couple, i.e. the child should not go to a single parent family. Another point that is important is the family. I think that there are a lot of single people that can give to the baby a great place to live, so I think that a single man or a single woman can be a good parents.
3.- - have other children in the family. Well, maybe a couple that has other children in the family could be a great option, because they have the experience and it's easier for them to take care of a baby.
2.-both be in full time employment. In this point I'm not agree, because if the couple has a full time employment, they wouldn't time enought to take care of a baby, so in this case I think that there are other options, like half time employment for the mother or father.
1.- be of the same racial group as the child. This is a point where I think that any couple that is prepared and really wants to have a baby, is not important if the racial group is different.
1.- not adhere to any minority religious group or cult. While the parents can be good parents and teach to the baby to be a great person, I think is not important the religion or group of the parents.
1.- - be married . For me the must important thing is the healthy of the baby, so, if a couple is not married could be a good option for baby.
Atte: VALERI HERRERA DE SANTIAGO
Well, this is a controversial topic, it depends of our values, for me, the most important its to have a desire to be a parent , not for a social rule.
1- Both be under 35 years old
Has a baby it’ s not easy, it’s a hard work. So it’s necesary to have enough energy, patience, and many things that somethis to get lost with the time.
2- Be a couple, i.e. the child should not go to a single parent family.
For kids, it’s necesary to have both images, cause our nature it’s different, the women are more sensitives and the men are more strongs, and it’s better to grow up in familiary circle to show the life in differents ways.
3- Be Married.
It could be a social rule, but principaly it’s a way to show the real love. For me, the marriage means love, reponsability, protection, security, compromiso and seriousness in our decisions.
4- Be either in the middle- income bracket or rich now in days, the life is expensive, so its better to have a good economic situation, to look at the family and not in the economy, and forget the principal gol.
5- Have other children in the family.
Here we have to decide the best option for the kid, so I think that it’s better for him to have a brother to grow up, withsome valves, like to share something with somebody.
Paola Alvarado
This is a very difficult work, I try to do the better thinking about the future`s baby.
Number 5: Be either in the middle-income bracket or rich.
I think that a son need many things like a good house, good education, a healthy feeding, and for all this the parents will need money because to support a son is expensive and the baby deserve it.
Number 4: Be married
For to bring and look after a baby it are necesary two parents because they can share the responsability and the work!!!!
Number 3: Have some professional experience of dealing with children, i.e. as teachers or nurses
A baby need much patience and when the parents or one of them have some expierence is easy do the things.
Number 2: Have other children in the family
A baby is a baby now but one day he`ll grow and he will need a playmate and a friend so ... for the baby it will be excelent be with other children because he`ll have a partner in the house.
Number 1: Both be under 35 years old
All the children need atention and much care...so theirs parents have to be very healthy and the most important is the vitality and when they are young, they have more energy than when the parents are senior citizens.
These are my reasons but I think that the most important fot the baby is the love. First of all when a baby born he turn on a light for everybody and if some people can´t see it...I don´t think they should adopt him.
If I found a baby abandoned, I have to go to the DIF or some Institute like this. And I have to be atten that does not neglect the matter until one finds the ideal family for the baby. And I wonder about what reason does the mother have for leave her children.
They should be under 35 years old, why the young people have more energy for the kids. Be a couple, no always it`s the best way, because sometimes the parents have problems for someone don`t work or really they don`t loves. Nowadays, many kids live with a single parent and they are happy and have all.
If they don`t have professional experience with children, is not necessary, why be a parent it`s different, it`s a mision for all life. You have to be a parent, a friend, a teacher, etc.
That they have another children will be great, why the child could be know how is to have a brother. And if the brother it´s ok, I think that the life for the new baby too.
When both be in full employment, it`s more difficult that they have time for the child, not it`s impossible, but they should think about this point. A kid needs time to feel love and to grow up in the right way. I believe in the idea that of the skin color doesn`t be the heart color. I don`t think that they must be of the same racial group as the child.
Have an economical security it`s really important, why could be that the mother leave`s her children why she don`t have money. And the idea to adoption is that the baby have a better life than the mother offers.
That they be married is important for legal matters, because they´ll need to be in to the legal requirement that guarantee the security for the child and the things that he needs. And nowadays, anybody know exactly which one it`s the right religion,why live in a free country, and for this reason should respect this decision. But it`s important that they don`t have strange or dangerous religion or cult.

Mid-Term Project - Adoption
This is a very important issue you need to work on...
A baby has been found abandoned on the steps of a church, and the mother has disappeared. You have been asked to send a letter to decide who should adopt the child. Think about the following criteria and mark the ideas as to how important they are, on a scale of 1-5 (5 = vitally important, 1 = relevant).If you were the one who has to make a decision. What would you do? At the end write your conclusion and reinforce it by mentioning your reasons here, where it says comments and print it out to discuss it next class. (20 or more lines)
The adoptive parents should:
5- be married
5- be either in the middle-income bracket or rich
4- be a couple, i.e. the child should not go to a single parent family
4- both be under 35 years old
3- have other children in the family
3- have some professional experience of dealing with children, i.e. as teachers or nurses
1- be of the same racial group as the child
1- both be in full time employment
1- not adhere to any minority religious group or cult
Well, I think is a hard situation due to that I have never a child but the most important is the baby and he need attentions immediately so, I will go to a DIF or other institutions for given the baby.

HI! I´m Eduardo Cruz
My opinion about the activity:
Well teacher the activity is ok because I practice my english, like the gramatic since is dificult and I need to know new vocabulary.
Bye.
hi teacher this is ma coment about the project, well i think tha the parent should:
- both be under 35 years old…..(4)
- be a couple, i.e. the child should not go to a single parent family………(5)
- have some professional experience of dealing with children, i.e. as teachers or nurses ……..(3)
- have other children in the family……….(1)
- both be in full time employment ……….(3)
- be of the same racial group as the child……..(1)
- be either in the middle-income bracket or rich………(2)
- be married………(5)
- not adhere to any minority religious group or cult………(5)
My conclusion first of all I think that the couple should be young because they need vitality, energy and patience. Then I argue that they have to be a couple because the baby needs both parents figure.
If they want to have a baby they should be prepared but y thing that isn’t a rule to employe a teacher or a nurse for training, all of the people that became on families prepare themselves over the way.
The couple that want to adopt the baby have to be married, and be established with a good economy, one of them have to be employed in a good job, and maybe have another children, its not necessary to be of the same racial group or have the same religion, if they become in good parents and gave the best education for him.
I think this case is very difcult, because I think all of the option are important, but I think the order must be the following:
5.- boht be under 35 years old; because the couple can be more experience and they can better educate the baby.
4.- have other children in the family; beacuse they have experience in educated the children, and they know the situation to be parents.
3.- have some professional experience of dealing with children, i.e. as teachers or nurses; this case is important because the parens dealing whit children and meet them better than others couples.
3.- be either in the middle-income bracket or rich; so that the child has secured a good future, although being rich doesn't guarantee this.
2.- be a couple, i.e. the child should not go to a single parent family; because if the child is in single, maybe being used to work in his childhood.
2.- be married; because this can be guarantee that the parents will be responsable whit him.
1.- both be in full time employment; If the parents don't worked in a full time employment, they would have more time to him.
1.- not adhere to any minority religious group or cult; I think this case isn't important, because they can be in a minority religious group or cult and will have the best education to his child.
Hi!
I´m Eduardo Cruz.
Well I thing the most important for the baby is love, but the couple need have some money because he need clothes, diapers, milk and others thinks.
And they be married, cause the baby need parents, also both de under 35 years old, since they are mature.
hello teacher i´m gabriela ramirez edgar my opinion about a adoption is the next:
i think that the couple should be of the either in the middle - income bracket or rich because they be able to support the family a part of they have a lot of time for care their children and play with they
Other point very important for me is the couple or both be under 35 years old for to dedicated time their children and the couple can enjoy the childhood.
i think that an disadvantage for a adoption is that someone is single because she or he hasn´t enough money or experiencie about children and she or he hasn´t time for care them.
unlucky nobody has experience in the care of children
teacher I miss to order the sentences:
1.- be either in the middle - income bracket orrich
2.- be couple, i.e. the child should not go to a single parent family
3.-both be under 35 years old
4.- be married
5.-have other children in the family
5.-
