What is a thesis statement for an essay about adoption?

If you want to develop a paper about the topic of adoption, you need to narrow your topic to something manageable before you can develop a thesis. Also, normally, in an argumentative paper you need to have a stance for or against a position rather than just a subject area. 


One issue you might engage which is somewhat controversial is laws about infant safe havens. These laws attempt to provide a safe, legal, and anonymous way for people to give up unwanted children for adoption. 


If you favor expanded use of safe haven laws, you could argue that "Safe havens provide a way for parents who cannot care for babies to provide the babies with a safe and secure future." You could support this thesis by discussing examples such as parents living in extreme poverty or abusive relationships, teen mothers, or parents struggling with mental health or addiction issues.
