Talk:LGBTQIA+ Adoption in Canada

Hi there!

I found your Wiki page to be very informative and helpful. I really enjoyed that you chose to explore a number of related topics to LGBTQIA+ adoption in Canada. While traditionally not included in Wiki pages, I thought that adding a section dedicated to resources for LGBTQIA+ was a thoughtful touch.

My first suggestion would be to modify the format of your introduction to the page. While it is effective in conveying an outline of your page, it felt a bit too much like an enumeration of topics, which is the purpose of the table of contents. I would suggest that you modify your introduction by making the first few sentences a bit broader by immediately discussing what LGBTQIA+ Adoption is. Instead of referencing specific areas of your page, it might be a good idea to offer some statistics pertaining to the current state of LGBTQIA+ in Canada. This would provide readers with a quick snapshot of your article, while also capturing their interest so that they read further.

Additionally, I would suggest that you keep a consistent citation style throughout the wiki. I noticed that for certain paragraphs, you cited at the end of each sentence, but for other paragraphs, you simply included the link to the source at the header. While I understand that you might have only had one source for these paragraphs, I think that keeping a consistent style of citing after the paragraph would make your page more professional.

Finally, I would suggest that you proofread your page. There are a few small typographical errors throughout the page. While this doesn't detract from the great information you provided, fixing these errors will definitely make your page feel more polished.

Hi there!

I really enjoyed learning about this specific topic as it is one that many forget about being a real issue around the world. I found it extremely informative when you discussed the different types of adoptions as many people would not know that there are differences. I really appreciated the amount of references you have; this helped me feel as though you really did your research and care about the topic you chose to discuss.

One small recommendation would be to put your LBGTQIA resources at the end of the page, just before your resources as a final note instead of placing it before the different alternatives to adoption. This makes for a better "conclusion." Another thing that could be done was to go into more detail on the alternatives to adoption by giving a definition of each and describing them since there is so much to learn about it. I will also agree to ManishToofany up top in saying that there were a couple gramatical/typographical errors, which is an easy fix and definitely changes nothing about the information being presented, but would allow a reader to feel more like they are reading a serious and well-edited piece of information.

In all, I really enjoyed the layout and information you provided. It felt like you knew exactly what you wanted to say and how to inform people the best!

Hey there,

I also really enjoyed this page. I was delighted that you spoke about how challenging it may be for same sex couples or LGBTQ+ couples to adopt. I would have loved in you have dived into the stigma a little more, especially how parenting is stereotyped in society as a feminine thing and essential to women, it would have been great to see more conversation about the different family dynamics and how stigma may affect these families. Also, I have heard of many papers that mention how well adjusted to life most children are when raised with LGBTQ+ parents and that would have been nice support for your paper as to why it is dumb for adoption agencies to make it harder for LGBTQ+ potential parents. To better your paper, there are multiple grammar errors in the last paragraph in particular that would make the essay much more fluid if they were sorted out. Along with some of the reference links not functioning.
