Active listening is a simple process, but takes time to practice. The basic concept is for the listener to repeat back to the speaker what they have said, paraphrasing it and then wait for agreement (Noesner and Webster, 1997)
Factors that were attributed to the problem were presumptions and communication issues between the two parties. While this research looked at doctors, other authors have extended this to different healthcare professions, applying to both patient and peer communication (Propp et al
Administrative costs of foster care declined from 18% of the budget to 8% after privatization. Average cost per day of foster care generally declined after privatization (Legislative Division of Post Audit, State of Kansas 2001)

Meanwhile, in Australia, the NSW Government has failed to release a report on the need for same-sex adoption laws that was legally required by Parliament in 2006. When the last adoption reforms were passed in 2000, Parliament demanded a report be produced no later than 2006 (Dennett)
The Church is cutting its ties with the Catholic Children's Society, one of the biggest such agencies in the country. Similarly, the dioceses of Nottingham and Northampton decided to folllow suit and droptheir agencies (Petre)
In California, a lesbian couple were not only allowed to raise foster children, but became exemplary models for handling the psychological and physical traumas that such children have. Ironically, however, when this couple wanted to adopt a child, there was concern by a fundamentalist lawyer who decided to remove a child from the household to save it from physical and emotional harm that he "knew" from his religious beliefs would be present in the home of "people like that" (Muskera)
Those who subscribe to religious beliefs that equate the life of a fertilized zygote a few hours after conception with the life of a fully developed person consider abortion just as morally impermissible as any other type of murder. But because those beliefs derive from religious doctrine rather than any objective criteria, they are irrelevant to a discussion about morality unless all participants share the same religious view (Dershowitz 2002)
The maximum part of this change is the outcome of clinical research surrounding adoption issues and new mindset on the part of social service professions, especially regarding openness. (Avery, 37) From published literature it is seen that any trustworthy book dealing with the topic of child raising deals with the issue of normal rivalries among the siblings, and the advice as regards special privileges and companionship with parents is applicable as rightly in the case of the adopted older child
Practically, the problem of competition might appear even deeper when an older child is taken for adoption, particularly when an only child or the youngest child is familiarized to all of the family attention. (Carney, 81) Conclusion: Adoption presents on the adoptive parents right, obligations of legal parents, and provides the child who is being adopted, the emotional, social and legal duties and rights similar to a member of the family
For public as well as private agencies, state licensed social workers assist birthparents and adoptive families in the process of adoption." (Information on adoption agencies, private, and facilitators) Over the years, adoption facilitators have joined the fray and now comprise a growing tribe in the adoption community
(Adoption is big business) It has been seen in a lot of instances that birthparents have faced difficulties in parting with their children and adoptees desirous of knowing greater detail regarding the "biological roots as also genetic history," and parents who want to adopt have problems regarding the upbringing of the kids they adopt whom nobody had given any forewarning to them. (Russell, 12) Often, it is seen that problems are there with "closed adoption

Also, approximately 10,000 children were adopted from abroad, bringing the total number of unrelated adoptions to 61,000 (Bachrach, London, & Maza, 1991)
In Florida, the court argues that children are better off raised in a two-parent heterosexual household, even if this is the minority status in the country. In truth, though, scientific studies show that children who grow up in one or two-parent gay or lesbian households do just as well emotionally and socially as children whose parents are heterosexual (Belge, 2007, p
Allowing such contracting does not necessitate abandonment of other regulations on adoption. Courts will still have to sign off on each adoption, allowing judges to ensure the suitability of adoptive parents (Boudreaux, 1995)
There are as many as three million gay fathers and five million lesbian mothers in the country today who are parents to some 14 million children. Several studies show that the parenting ability of gays and lesbians demonstrates that "homosexuality is compatible with effective parenting" (Brooks & Goldberg, 2001)
And that's primarily because of the disruption such a law would cause in the lives of so many children, experts say. In the Mississippi case, Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, which represented Goldstein and Perdue, used a historically successful argument: that adopted children are entitled to equal protection under the state constitution (Caldwell, 2003, p
In addition, because of their sexual insatiability, gays and lesbians were viewed as psychologically unable to maintain stable relationships. The idea that homosexuality is connected to undisciplined, self-indulgent sexual desire has recently been re-emphasized by natural law legal theorists who suggest that homosexual sex resembles solitary masturbation (Calhoun, 2002, p
In this case, the police were called to Lawrence's house under the auspices of a weapons disturbance and found two men engaging in sexual intercourse: Ultimately, the Supreme Court ruled that the constitution protects the right of all persons, including homosexuals, to decide what kind of sexual activity to engage in within their private lives. In other words, a state ban on specific sexual conduct is unconstitutional because it encroaches on a personal and intimate decision that people should be able to make without the intrusion of government (Callahan, 2007)
S. children leave the country to be adopted abroad (Carangelo, 2007)
