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:

- 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

"Why Should I Cry For You"

How do you like this song? Does it make you think of a particular relationship you once had? Share your story...

STING LYRICS
Under the dog star sail
Over the reefs of moonshine
Under the skies of fall
North, north west, the Stones of Faroe

Under the Arctic fire
Over the seas of silence
Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remaining
But would north be true?

All colours bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean's bed
Drifting on empty seas
For all my days remaining

But would north be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Dark angels follow me
Over a godless sea
Mountains of endless falling,
For all my days remaining,

What would be true?

Sometimes I see your face,
The stars seem to lose their place
Why must I think of you?
Why must I?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Why would you want me to?
And what would it mean to say,
That, "I loved you in my fashion"?

What would be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
