Adoptive parents - argumentative Research Paper I have thesis!

Need help with pros and cons for this Essay!

Adoptive parents should be legally bound to allow biological surrogate parents access to children should they desire it at any point and adoptive parents should be required to inform children of their biological parents.

Greetings!

It sounds like you've been assigned an argumentative or persuasive essay, and that you're supposed to give the arguments for and against openness in adoptions. I think the best way to begin this would be to put yourself in the place of the party most concerned.

Visualize yourself as the adoptive parent. Then think of why it might be good for your child to know the biological parent, and why it might be bad. I'm sure you can come up with several arguments for each side if you think of the subject as something that affects real people.

Once you've looked at it from the "people" perspective, you can research on the Internet. There should be many articles and opinion pieces available, since this is a fairly controversial topic. You could try a search for "open adoption";opinon, or something like that. There will no doubt be journal articles available through your university library's database as well. Try searching in databases for psychology and sociology. If you're not sure how to do this, ask your librarian.

I hope this helps you get started. Truly, the best place to begin is by putting yourself in the shoes of adoptive parents and imagining how you would feel about the proposals.

Good luck!
