Value and Descriptive Assumptions <\/p>\n
Conclusion: Adopted children have a right to know their birth parents. <\/p>\n
Reasons: <\/p>\n
Adopted children need the truth for their health and physical well-being.<\/p>\n
Most children would prefer to know why they were given up.<\/p>\n
Finding the truth about the adoption process offers a sense of closure for such children. <\/p>\n
The typical value conflicts identified are loyalty and well-being. For example, the adopted parents may require loyalty from the child because they may feel shortchanged when the child begins to bond with birth parents. On the other hand, the child\u2019s well-being may be compromised if he\/she is denied the chance to meet the biological parents (Browne & Keeley, 2014, p. 60).The value assumption shows that finding biological parents ensures that adopted children remain physically stable, healthy and gets a sense of closure from the experience (Browne & Keeley, 2014, p. 65).<\/p>\n
Assumption 1: In all instances children who meet their biological parents experience health and physical well-being. <\/p>\n
This descriptive assumption concludes that in most instances children benefit health-wise and physically at meeting the birth parents. A child may suffer health and physical problems after finding and knowing why he\/she was given away to another family. This means that not all circumstances ensure physical and health of a child who meets the biological parents because of things such as feelings of being unwanted and shock of knowing the birth parents (Browne & Keeley, 2014, p. 65).<\/p>\n
Assumption 2: All children that meet their biological parents get a sense of closure at all times. <\/p>\n
This descriptive argument is ambiguous because there are many instances that a child may feel regret after meeting the biological parents. One child may feel that the birth parents need not have given him\/her up, while another child may experience a sense of closure at knowing his\/her roots (Browne & Keeley, 2014, p. 65).<\/p>\n
