Annotated Bibliography
I decided to go along the route of choosing the "Adopted Children's Identity Rights" for my topic. The annotated bibliography was a bit of a hassle in that some of the sources I found, I would print out and when I went back to find the source online, it would not be accessable. A great pain? Yes, I think so. Anyways, I'm not entirely sure if my paper really hit the spot on what an annotated bibliography is supposed to accomplish because I didn't fully understand what was supposed to be included in the description of each source. However, it should have the correct formatting, structure, and each description gives a pretty vague idea of what you can find in each source, so I think it should do just fine for a rough draft. I'm interested to see what will be the next step in shaping up this paper. I only hope that I will not have to do a complete overhaul on the entire work.

That really stinks! I had a similar problem with one of the source I was trying to use. The UC Libraries cite said that the full article was available online but when I downloaded it and read it, it was just an introduction to the book. Incredibly unhelpful that one was. I hope that you find better sources! If you want any real life stories, my aunt adopted a baby girl from Russia a few years ago, and I'm sure she would be glad to help.
ReplyDeleteI actually found a source that tells of a family who went to China and adopted a little girl who was abandoned at the age of 5 weeks. The girl only had a piece of paper with the birthday written on it to show her identity. There were speculations that it was because of the 1 child limit that China has, so its kind of interesting how the laws outside of the United States can effect adoption too. And if I need any other sources that would be great, thanks.
