TRANSCRIPT

Did you know that 2.5 percent of people under the age of 18

are adopted?

Should Adoption Papers Be

Open Rather Than Sealed?

Sierra Adams-Smith

ResearchOpen Adoption Papers Provide

» Original birth certificate» Family background» Medical history in the family and of the child» Information about birth parents

ResearchClosed Adoption Papers Provide

» Birth parents can be anonymous» No contact with the birth parents, the child and

vise versa» Very limited health and family information

ResearchWhy adoption papers should be open

» Emotional effects (sadness, depression)» Health Concerns (certain medical conditions)» Right of the child (the child had the right to know

their history)

Because I researched adoption, I made a children's book about adoption for my product.

Product» Talk to mentor about product ideas» Went to store to get materials (crayons, markers,

paper)» Looked at some adoption books online» Brain storm ideas» Talked to mentor about his adoption experience

Product» Writing the book» Dedication page» Prologue » Illustrations» Edit story» Write final copy of story» Putting the book together in power point

Mentor» Mr. Peake» Brainstorming » How to create the book» Helped me understand how the adoption

process might be for a kid.» Eager to help and to create the story.

Challenges and Successes» I would have made the story first

» Then illustration and research» Take pictures as I go» Getting the pictures onto power point

» I’ve made a story that people seem to like and enjoy» Great reviews on the book» My hard work is shown in the book

What I Learned

» Procrastination can set your goals back» A big project has to be broken down into steps» Writing a children’s book is not easy» Coloring illustrations can take a long time if has a

lot of detail

Thank you for your time.
