Rhetorical Analysis of Motive for Taking Orphan Children into a Foster Family

According to T.Z.Kozlova (Motives for Taking Orphan Children into a Foster Family), in Russian society today, social orphan hood is one of the problem in this country. There are 665,987 children who dont have parents and under the relatives care. Also 93,806 orphans were discovered in 2010 and 42,379 orphans dont have cares of guardians or society. Other children considered orphan although their parents are still alive and it is a reason why sociological studies that what motives of 7,000 guardians families for taking orphan in Moscow. (T.Z.Kozlova, p. 68) Moreover, why we have an orphan? An orphan is a sequel of a temporary family and the conscience of parents. Children who have no parents, they feel very alone and they really need love of someone to love them and protect them. So, we the family, the member of society and the one who used to be a child should understand that children are the future who can make this world become more beautiful and make a family become more meaningful. Therefore, we should take care of children, the one of our own or even the one who doesnt have parents or an orphan. We are the family. In the article, T.Z.Kozlova stated The transitional state of our society has been made more complex by contradictions both between the generations and in the most important institution of society, the family. (T.Z.Kozlova, p. 2) In my own view, family is very important and impact to the society; it also is a cause of where are orphans comes from. A lot of younger people, they made

family and they got marriage without purpose. They just married in a loving moment or when they are happy and they dont know what value of family is. After few years, the child is born and they realize that they dont have ability to raise their own child; they get divorce and abandon the child who they born. Furthermore, some parents dont like the child they born. For instance, they dont want to get a baby who is disability, has an illness or unexpected child. Therefore, children under the care of divorcing family and the family which doesnt care about them, so children become orphans and victims of abandon. Scientists at the Academic Institute for Social Research of Russian indicate some cases why people take care of orphan children. The reasons were, they dont have their own child, they want to have more children or some of parents want to get a child of the opposite sex. From the articles data, The most likely of family who want to get an orphan is a motive of a family who doesnt have children of their own. (T.Z.Kozlova, p. 74)My own view is the family which is unable to have a child more easily to be bore, because the happiest family is a family whose has mom, dad, and babies. Therefore, they are going to get an orphan, assuming that is their own child. It is a case that childless family should consider, having a child to love, to kiss, to hug are the beautiful things in life that many parents want after they got marriage. If you adopt an orphans, of course, theyre not your own child but they are babies, they can do whatever as an own child if you have one. They cry after you yell at them, they are happy and laugh when you play with them. Also, they can call you papa, daddy, mommy and mamma. Do you want to hear that? Having orphan in family is a beautiful thing that would help your family more happiness and blessing. In addition, more motives of family which is finding orphan are, We wanted more children, we lost our own child, we wanted a child of the different sex. (T.Z.Kozlova, p. 75)Whatever you think, whatever you want. Family is a place where we can find happiness and homey nest. Without

children, family just likes a tree which doesnt have flower. Which means a parentless child can help childless parents finding a missing piece of the word family and make it more meaningful. My idea is the child who doesnt have mother and father is a hope. Hoping a homey family, hoping a family to give love and hoping of caring. All families can find hope in their own child or even the child who really need parents. However, some of guardians or families are not happy after they adopt orphans. They feel regret and more stressful. The question of T.Z.Kozlova in the article is At the present time do you regret that you took the child under your guardianship? and the alternative answer is Well, yes and no. (T.Z.Kozlova, p. 77) The most common answer no is It turn out that raising someone elses child is much harder than raising ones own. (T.Z.Kozlova, p. 78) Yes, it is really hard to raise someone elses child. Because I think most of peoples feelings are, its not my child, and the giving love of parents to an orphan is not fulfill than the one if they own. On other hand, some of good guardians love an orphan child because they feel that child just like their own child. My feeling on this is when you give everything to something, its mean it becomes your own. For instance, you buy a tree at a store and plan it at your house. You take care of it, you water it, you watch it growing, and of course that is yours. Same to that when you adopt children you give them everything, you guard them, you feed them, you teach them, you watch them growing up and sacrifice for them. Theyre yours, they are your own child, youre their own parent and its not denying that. You are my family. In another article by Jane Aronson (Care for The Orphans Who arent Adopted), I, too, am an adoptive parent of two sweet sons from Ethiopia and Vietnam, but adoption is not the solution to the global orphan crisis now. We must be passionate about our efforts to care for the "children left behind." Those of us who advocate for the most vulnerable children in the world cannot wait

anymore. The children cannot wait anymore. All children deserve an opportunity to realize their full potential in their country and, indeed, the world. I was impressive by Children left behind this phrase describes a lot of orphan children; the one who doesnt have parents, the one who feels lonely, the one who is under care and the one who might make your family happy and proud of. They are out there waiting for you. Children left behind need our helps; they need clothes to wear, they need food to eat, they need family, they need you to warm them up and they need your heart. Not because of rich things but because of loving, they just want to know out there is someone is caring for them, concerning about them and knowing them. Moreover, all children and Children left behind deserve to be cared, to be loved and happy. Orphans are expecting to be your son, your daughter and a member of your family. We are the family. We should take care of orphan children because they dont have parents or even they dont know what their last names are. They need you to raise them up; they want to be loved and to be the one who has mother and father. And you, families, parents and guardians can help them as many ways. Adopting them, taking them into your family or blessing them. They are happy to be yours, your great children, your good sister and your caring brother.
