Adoption Persuasive Speech

Raise your hand if you know someone who is adopted. See so many people. About 135,000 children are adopted just in the United States each year. We always want to be loved and looked after by our parents but some children don’t receive that. Good morning class, and Mrs Lee. My speech is about how adoption should be encouraged. In this speech I will be explaining the effects for the birthmother and birthfather, the effects for the adoptive family, and the effects for the child.
