Position Paper – Part Four

Name: Edgar Villegas

Instructions: Please use this form as an organizer for writing your portion of your group position paper. You will be writing the conclusion to the paper. You should clearly and thoroughly summarize your groups problem and your solution. Be persuasive and convincing in your conclusion why you believe that you have identified the best solution to your problem. Be sure to follow the MLA citation format that you used when completing your JRP. You will also complete the Annotated Bibliography – gather all sources from your issue group members and compile into one annotated bibliography

VII. Conclusion: Be sure to restate the problem and why you think your solution is the best possible course of action.

The problem in society today is that parents are putting their childeren up for adoption, sometimes without both parents' consent. Our solution to this problem is to enact a federal law that ensures that both parents must give consent in order to put the child(eren) up for adoption and, on rare situations, have a 30 day "grace period" to be able to reclaim their child(eren) with proper reasoning as to why they deserve to get the child(eren) back into their custody and compensation to the adoptive parents' efforts to give the child(eren) education, clothes, etc. This solution, we believe, will suffice because it ensures that parents will think more about the consequences of putting a child up for adoption and wether or not it is the best thing for that family if they have the 30 day "grace period" to consider. Plus having both parents give consent will show a combined opinion and concern for the chil(eren)s' future.

VIII. Annotated Bibliography: Collect all the sources from your fellow issue group members and compile one ANNOTATED Bibliography.
