Adoption is definitely an option I plan to consider once the time comes to have a child. Honestly,
I am not sure what type of adoption I would prefer. I guess I would want little to no contact with
the birth parents, but that may not be ideal for the child or the birth family who may still want
contact with the child. I understand that sometimes people put their baby up for adoption because
they may not be able to provide for it financially or they had it at a very young age, for example.
In cases like that, it may not be that they don’t want to ever see the baby again, but they really
have no means to take care of it. I would really want for the birth parents to have the opportunity
to see their baby and would have an arrangement that is suitable both for me and my spouse and
the birth parents. Ideally, the contact would be enough for the child to form a relationship and
possibly even gain an understanding as to why their parents gave them to us to care for.
Sometimes, when the adoption is closed kids are left without any closure or a sense of
abandonment. There would probably always be some sort of lingering curiosity that if I could
prevent from happening I would. I think the biggest fear people have (myself included) when it
comes to adoption is that if it is not closed there will be too many influences in the child’s life
that they would have to control for, and there are fears that maybe the child will favor the birth
parents. However, although some problems could arise, in most instances open adoption is
becoming more popular and is probably the healthiest form of adoption for the child in many
instances. Having open adoption could give kids the opportunity to ask questions about family
history and just getting an overall sense of where they come from, especially if adoptions occurs
cross culturally. Such as in the case of a white families adopting a child from any other culture,
they may not be able to understand the full scope of prejudices their child might experience in
their life. Ultimately it is all about the wellbeing of the child, and I would put my selfish fears
aside to fulfill their needs. Everyone likes to know where they come from and I wouldn’t want to
deprive my child of that if I can help it.

Module 1 Reflection
Reflections are meant to encourage you to think deeply about the topics you learned throughout a module and link the course material to the real world and your own life experiences.
For these assignments, you should think about the course material critically and...
· Describe how your personal experiences relate to the course material for the module, and/or
· Describe how your experiences influence your views on the topic, and/or
· Describe how the course material will impact you outside of the classroom
Reflections should:
1. Be personal (reflections are subjective, use what you learned in this class and resist the urge to google!).
2. Be written in a proper academic tone (make sure to proofread!).
3. Be one to two double spaced pages long.
4. Be double spaced and written in Times New Roman point 12 font.
5. Discuss only 1 topic (you should choose only 1 of the optional prompts or topics for your reflection).
Reflections should not:
1. Include a summary of the readings/videos, I want to know what you think about these topics after completing the assigned readings and/or watching the videos.
2. Be too short (I want to know you have really given thought to your reflection, the minimum length is 1 double spaced page in 12 point Times New Roman font without including the prompt, your name, date, etc).
Reflections are submitted via Turnitin. Submission of a reflection containing plagiarized material is an act of academic misconduct and will be handled accordingly.
