Adoption Bibliography

Eventually, I will post the rest of my paper, but I think it appropriate to post the Bibliography, and I have some use for having it available online. This represents only the sources used in my paper, not the full extent of sources considered.

“Adoption is the Best Option” http://adoptionisthebestoption.yolasite.com/ (a really good example of misleading appeals to emotion.)

Hi,

Thank you for using our website as a resource. The article "Adopted Child Syndrome" (http://poundpuplegacy.org/node/2163) was posted by me, but is written by David Kirschner.

Thanks for the correction. I thought I had all of Kirschner's papers from another source and the article you posted was a summary.
Hi Tad,

I was 'revisiting' Y!A (Pip there) and glad I did as I saw your link. Will be coming back regularly to read more.

Agregate Demand and the US Savings Rate

In my last post, I touched on the differences between the economic theories of John Maynard Keynes and Ludwig von Mises. Immediately aftward, I was directed to this story in the New York Times. It seems that americans are saving more instead of spending the their money on consumer goods. Up until this downturn, about 70% of the US Economy was consumer spending, and in 2005, the US Savings rate was negative 2.7%. The "stimulus" is supposed to stimulate spending to get money moving again. But it isn't happening as planned. Folks are saving for down payments because they don't expect to get zero down home mortgages; they're saving to replenish their decimated retirement and college funds. The austrians believe that the best way to "fix" the economy is to allow the "malinvestment" created by the false signals in the economy (from the open market ops and deficit spending) to be liquidated and the resources repurposed into better investments. It'

Age Segregation: Child placed above ability level arbitrarily

A couple months back, my daughter Neeva asked her mother and I if we would let her go to the local public school. Since the school in our neighborhood has a much better reputation and academic record than the school in our old neighborhood, we decided to enroll her and see how things went. Neeva is nine years old. When she was five, she wasn't quite ready to begin reading, so we waited until she was ready rather than try to fight an uphill battle for a year with a disinterested pupil. Neeva has also struggled with Amblyopia ("Lazy Eye" Syndorme) and a more recent eye infection which has caused delays in her reading development. As a result, Neeva has progressed to the third grade level in her reading and math skills. Her birthday is on August 26, just five days before the cutoff date to determine which grade a child should be placed in in Utah. When we enrolled her in the local school, the school used her birthday as the determining factor in her class placement, and stuc

Calling Evil Good and Good Evil: LDS Policy on Unwed Pregnancies

The opinion piece below was written for publication in the Salt Lake Tribune concurrent with the LDS Church's October General Conference. The Trib couldn't fit it in, so it is published here. My vote in the sustaining was communicated to both the First Presidency and my local ward Bishop separately. This weekend, members of the LDS Church will gather in their great and spacious building on North Temple for their semi-annual General Conference. During one of the sessions, members will be asked to raise their hands in sustaining votes for church leaders. I will not be in attendance, so I will use this article as a means of casting my vote in the negative for all of the Church’s General Authorities who promote and support the church’s policy of “encouraging” all unwed mothers to relinquish their babies for adoption. This encouragement comes in the form of extreme pressure from church leaders and devout family and friends. This policy, which the church stops short of saying is
