text: help on a speech?????!!!!? i have to give a speech to my class on persuading people to adopt. and i cant really find a good source of information. i would call your local adoption agency and ask if you could interview some of the children who do not have families or homes. they may have a video already made that you could show that tells the heartwrenching stories of the children and how desperately they want families. that would get you an a for sure.
