From what I heard, Sandy seems like a very confident midwife and seems to understand the ins and outs of the job well. I think that it was very interesting though, how she seemed to have a different opinion of the job than you did and how she perfers to work in a hospital becuase of the emotional security it gives her.

The main point of your project was to find out if Leake & Watts, Spence-Chapin, Bethany Christian Services were accepting of same sex parents adopting children.

I really like that your project was very meaningful to you, it added a connection to your work that I could not find in my project. I found it weird that Spence-Chapin didn’t have an answer for you. Have they never been asked this question? I have no personal connection to your project but I have friends that are gay and they will one day face this dilemma; which really should not be a dilemma. I feel you could have either asked more questions or gone deeper in to why a orphanage would not want same sex parents to adopt.

The main point of your project was to understand why Latino woman don’t use midwifes.

I really like that you got many different sources to answer your question. It made your project stronger giving the option of a real people and statistics. This project is important to the Latino people of America and also to the other people of America. Matt you made a good point when stating “I also looked at teh idea of latin women getting pregnant at younger ages. 52 percent of latin women got pregnant at least once before the age of 20. Why is this valid? This shows that latin women are too young to understand birt.” This is important for all women to know at all ages. I learned a lot from your blog great job.

To Michelle -

The goal of your project was to research the differences between birth in the United States and birth in India an contrasting them.

I found it very interesting that India woman did want their husbands in the delivery rooms. As you stated Indian woman vale there men but they don’t want them in the room while they give birth unlike in America where wives want there husbands in the room with them. Your project mattes to me because I plan to travel the world when I get older and I never know what I will need to know. You project was very interesting and it tough me knew things I would have not thought to look up on my own.

This was a very good and interesting project. It allowed you to go deeper into the study of birth and let you explore a topic you care about. I found it great that you were determined to get your questions answered even when at times the outlook didn’t seem optimistic. “After seeing this sign I heard nothing. I was confused, was I in the wrong place? I expected to hear tons of talking, yelling and people moving all around but it was silent. I walked around the bland white hallways of the 11th floor and no one was there.” This let me know that you cared about your topic and that you were deeply interested in what you were learning. I learned a lot from your project even though I have already done this type of research before having my own baby.
