To the Editor:

I've just read this story about Jessica. First of all I think that the adoption is a good way to go because it provides a family, a new life for children with no parents.

Jessica's case is one example of that. At the beginning Jessica's biological mother gave up her for adoption. If she chose that was because she thought that she couldn't take care of the baby.

In the other hand The DeBoers were very happy with Jessica. She gave them a new reason to live: a family. And obviosly Jessica got the same thing. And now after a long time Cara wants that Jessica returns to her, and that is a bad thing for Jessica and for the DeBoers too.

Jessica has to live with the DeBoers, they are her real family. Blood ties are not always the most important things. Love, security, education can be more significant. Jessica Should decide, I'm sure she knows which is her home.


Sincerely

Reflection:

I liked writing this letter, I felt really important as if the editor were to read my letter. That was very interesting and good for me. This kind of letter needs more details, needs to be more specific and direct not like the informal letter.
