Unwind #1 - Alex Bueso

The topic I chose is adoption.. I choose this topic because in our story there is this thing called "Storking". When mothers have kids they don't want they could just leave it on some random persons doorstep and that'll be it, basically if you get storked you have to keep the kid until it turns 13 and that's when you can be like "Alright well do I actually like this kid or should I have him unwound". So "Storking" is basically ghetto adoption because there are no papers or anything. In our book there is a part where Connor gets in his feelings and tells us his story about why he picked up the storked baby. Basically no one wanted the kid so quoting the book it said "It turns out that the babu had been passed around the neighborhood for two whole weeks- each morning, left on someone else's doorstep." So in my opinion thats messed up. Especially since i want to adopt when i am older because i kind of want to skip the whole new born phase because i wouldn't be able to deal with the crying. One thing i am wondering is how did this storking thing start? I have heard of babies left on the door step of a church or a adoption center. Why can't mother just keep their kid? If you want to have sex then you need to be ready to have kids because if you are so grown to have sex then you better be grown enough to take care of a kid because of the responsibilities. If mothers and fathers took more responsibility than we wouldn't have 143 million orphans. I believe that some kids are left orphans just because parents leave their kids, but given sometimes parents do die and theres nothing we can do but the amount of kids is ridiculous. "143,000,000 orphans standing shoulder to shoulder will go around the 10,913 mile perimeter of the USA nearly 4 times; they would reach around the earth over 2 times; you could fill Michigan University’s stadium 1,330 times" I got this off of http://mojuproject.com/about/orphans/ - basically its messed up how in the book babies get storked and some die because the people don't want them. So overall parents need to keep their kids and help lower the number of orphans in the world.

  1. I agree with your topic completely. If the mother wasn't prepared or didn't want the baby at all then she shouldn't have had sex in the first place. I agree that the amount of orphans is ridiculous, and for this reason I blame the parents for not wanting to keep their children. I understand if some are left orphans its because something happened to the parents. But there is no excuse for those who just made the choice to not want the child.
