A. First...you need to come up with a viewpoint. What will you prove about adoption? From that point, research online for 5 facts that will support your point...then, you will have to elaborate on your evidence. At the end, restate your point, and leave your audience with a killer final thought. Good luck! P.S.- Don't forget eye contact...visual aids work great too.

ADOPTION................. ............?
Q. Ok, so I asked a question about 'references' yesterday, and im wondering do they call your 'references' straight away while you are at the shelter? or do they call after you leave? I have a VERY well looked after Pointer already that I will bring to meet the new dog, so maybe they will see I am a responsible owner lol? Do ALL Shelters insist on having references? I honestly don't have anybody to put:( What questions will they ask my references? Oh and remember I live in Australia. lol thanks, but I don't have my neighbours number, and my manager ect. don't know anything about my dog!

A. probably after you leave, or while youre in a different room, but it all just depends on the place. I'm pretty sure they wont call while youre sitting right there though because that would be awkward. and most places call your vets office, and check to see if your past pets have had all their shots on time and stuff, so its kind of a big task of a thing they go through MOST shelters ask for references. just put a family member, a landlord, a manager from work, or a neighbor. even if they see you have a well taken care of dog, they'll probably still call your references. hahaha it shouldnt be a big deal though, they just want to be sure the dog is going to the right owner, and going to a home that will be the right fit for it. oh and… [cont.]

What exactly is the difference between foster care and adoption?
Q. Ok so i know what adoption is, but what exactly is foster care, like how is it different from adoption? and What is your opinion on which is better? I was talking to my husband about us one day adopting and he mentioned being foster parents so I was curious as to which is better, and how exactly foster care works so I can make a better decision when the time comes.

A. Foster care is where a family is qualified by the state to accept children in their home either on short-term or long-term basis. The goal of foster care is to provide a "safe haven" for the child while the birth parents work on their lives (if possible) to reunite the original family. In some cases this is not possible (as with mine) due to crimes or b-parents choosing or failing not to meet the recommendations of the state. In those cases, the children are made for adoption through foster care. Often called foster adopt. Adoption is different in that the children are not "removed" from the home by the state. Typically in regular adoption cases, it is the b-family who has sought out to make an adoption plan for their child and… [cont.]
