Website Review: Adoption Clubhouse |
|
 WEBSITE: www.adoptionclubhouse.org
DESCRIPTION: Kids friendly website for kids by kids. Provides adoption information and resources including homework help, famous people, books, movies, adoption facts, and fun stuff for kids. Kids speak out and participate by contributing stories, poems, and artwork, or by posting messages on the Adoption Clubhouse message board. Also includes information for parents I found Adoption Clubhouse, and several other kid friendly sites, while looking around for resources for children that have been adopted or are in foster care. Like other sites designed for kids and young adults, there are spots for parents and educators at Adoption Clubhouse. Filled with fun activities for kids like coloring pages, puzzles and ecards, the site also includes areas for children to write in about their lives, a message board, and suggestions for how children can ask their parents about adoption. I found a lot of favorites on this site, but my top two spots were the page where famous athletes, leader, artists and writers that were adopted are listed as well as the annoying questions / quick comebacks that lists more than 10 common questions adopted kids might hear and some quick comebacks for them. The site is most appropriate for children ages 3-12 and parents and educators looking for ideas on ways to integrate adoption into teachings. |

California: Gays and Medical Treatment |
|
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Published: August 18, 2008 The State Supreme Court barred doctors from invoking their religious beliefs as a reason to deny treatment to gay men and lesbians, ruling that state law prohibiting sexual orientation discrimination extended to the medical profession. Justice Joyce Kennard wrote that two Christian fertility doctors who refused to artificially inseminate a lesbian have neither a free speech right nor a religious exemption from the state’s law, which “imposes on business establishments certain antidiscrimination obligations.” |
