If you are ten years or older, you have to get a background check. They do this so they can figure out what kind of person you have been and if you are fit to be a foster parent.

Instead of having an abortion, women can choose a more beneficial option, such as giving the baby up for adoption. When women decide to get an abortion, they don’t think about adoption because of the long process, even though it can help other families who can’t have children. For example “It’s logical that anti-abortion organizations seeking to prevent abortions and promote traditional family structures would aggressively promote adoption, but this connection is often overlooked…”(Joyce). Many women that get pregnant with an unwanted child usually look into having an abortion first rather than going through the long process of pregnancy and giving the baby up for adoption. Furthermore, “In President Obama 's speech… he suggested that one solution to lowering abortion rates is making abortion more available”(Joyce).

Childhood or infantile amnesia is the inability of adults to recall autobiographical memories from early childhood (Eyesnck & Keane, 2013). We are generally unable to remember memories from before the first three to four years of our life. By the time children are two years old, they are able to answer questions about recent events although they often need careful prompting to retrieve the memories. Over the next four or five years, children become better at recalling and describing important events in their lives and by the age of seven or eight, most children have well-developed autobiographical memories with the same rate of normal forgetting seen in adults. An extensively used method for testing childhood amnesia is the cue word technique.
