Blog Experiences

English112 was a fun class. I have really enjoyed blogging the last 7 weeks. The last week while working on my analyst paper is another story, before starting this class, I never thought about creating my own blog. I never heard, nor used other “blogs” to obtain information. Maintaining my Immigration blog was never easy for me. I enjoyed the Part of reading and responding to other class “blogs.” The Instance responses by other bloggers made this a very educational class for me.


The more I researched about my topic “Immigration”, the more Knowledge and information I gather and educated myself. I am not going to continue to blog on a regular basis, but maybe, once a month. I do have a full schedule. I do plan, to use the knowledge gained from the Immigration websites and Blogs to assist my community in the future.

It is great that million of children are being adopted international. However we have so many children in the foster care system here in the United States that needs loving families and home.

I have spoken to several families from different background, which has been through the interview process, the investigation process and every process the government, social service required of them. The problem is the political bull crap and all of the unnecessary red tape they have to put up with from they own government.

I do believe if you have all the parenting classes, pass all the requirements, why do you have to go all over the world to get orphans when you have them right in your back yard. I don’t write much of my strong view on government issues in theses blogs, because as a government worker and a soldier, technically, you are really not suppose to voice you opinions out loud. I know Freedom of Speech. I have not had out side bloggers but you never know who can access your blog.

More and more Americans citizens are seeking to adopt children in increasing numbers. With the reduction of children available for adoption in the United States, more and more U.S. citizens have adopted children from other countries. This year alone, thousands of children came to the United States from foreign countries, either adopted abroad by U.S. citizens or as potential adoptees. This link provides both information and guidance to U.S. citizens seeking information about international adoptions.

“International adoption is essentially a private legal matter between a private individual (or couple) who wishes to adopt, and a foreign court, which operates under that country's laws and regulations. U.S. authorities cannot intervene on behalf of prospective parents with the courts in the country where the adoption takes place. However, the Department of State does provide extensive information about the adoption processes in various countries and the U.S. legal requirements to bring a child adopted abroad to the United States. The Office of Children's Issues in the Bureau of Consular Affairs provides brochures describing the adoption process in numerous countries’’
