article: To be suitable for adopting a child a California, an individual must: be at least 10 years older than the child or meet the family requirements (be a stepparent, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, or first cousin of the child which the court is satisfied with); treat the adoptive child as if it were his or her own; provide support for the child and will care for the child; maintain a suitable residence for the child; and agree to the adoption. There are several different types of adoption that are recognized in California. Of these options, find which is applicable or the best for you. When proceeding with one of the first three of these types, the parental rights of both birth parents are terminated and the adoptive parents become the legal parents: Independent adoption: an adoption where the legal rights are transferred directly from the birth parents to the adoptive parents without involving a third party in the process. The once well-known Independent Adoption Center (IAC) has closed, but independent adoption itself still exists as an option in California. Agency adoption: an adoption through the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) or a licensed adoption agency. International adoption: the adoption of a child born in another country. Stepparent/domestic partner: an adoption in which the legal partner of one birth parent gains legal rights over the child and only one birth parent's rights are terminated. In this type of adoption, the couple that will become the legal parents must be married or legally registered domestic partners. Interstate adoption: the adoption of a child from another state. This will require your lawyer to be familiar with the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC), a uniform law for all states that sets the procedures for the transfer of children from one state to another. Adoption laws, for the most part, are controlled by the state laws. ICPC enables you to get through all those laws easily to adopt a child from a different state, with different adoption laws. To arrange an adoption through the CDSS visit their website or call 1-800-KIDS-4-US. The CDSS also has a directory of licensed adoption agencies available on its website Independent adoptions are based on personal knowledge and identification of the involved parties. Different agencies or parties involved in the adoption will have different requirements for beginning and completing the requirements. At a minimum, by California law, each potential adoptive parent must submit fingerprints, a criminal record, and participate in a home study, which is an investigation of the physical premises where the child will reside. Additionally, fees will vary depending on the type of adoption that is chosen. An adoption through CDSS or a public adoption agency will charge no more than $500 in addition to court costs and the costs for fingerprinting and obtaining background records, which is estimated to cost between $100 and $300. In some circumstances, these fees may be waived or reduced.

Write an article based on this "Try other options before you drop out of society. "Drop out" for a month or a season to try it out. Think about money."
article: Often dropping "off the grid" is romanticized and made to sound more fun and viable than it actually is. If you're dissatisfied with society, capitalism, or social relationships, there may be ways to change your environment other than dropping out of society. If a life problem or struggle is making you want to drop out of society, get help in some other way first. Just moving to another city might provide the change in environment that you need to be happy. If your job is unfulfilling or meaningless, consider quitting and trying to find more fulfilling work before you drop out of society. If you'd like to spend more time in nature, you don't necessarily need to drop out of society. If you can take time off from your job, take a month and go backpacking and hiking, and see if that resolves your need to be away from civilization for a time. Before you quit your job and pack up to live in the woods for good, do it for a trial period. This will give you time and experience to evaluate if this is really the right decision. For example, if you'd like to drop out of society and live in the woods, find a place where you can legally live for a season, such as the North Maine Woods. Take supplies with you: fishing and camping supplies, dried food, and a canoe. Try to live as if you had retreated from society, with as little interpersonal contact as you desire. If you're living in a remote area without a job or income, you'll soon run out of money. You'll need to sustain yourself off the land, and what you can hunt, grow, and build yourself. This lifestyle is off-putting to many people, due to the difficulty of having to provide everything for yourself. Alternately, you may be able to generate a small income even while living off the grid. For example, you could find ways to profit through selling meat, vegetables, and canned goods.

Write an article based on this "Select three passages from a book. Type the three paragraphs into Microsoft Word. Hit "Spelling & Grammar."
article:
After reviewing the number of pages in the book, pick three pages at random. Try to pick pages from different parts of the book. Then, verify that each page you've chosen has at least one full paragraph. If it does not, choose a paragraph from the next page. If the book has 80 pages, you could select page 5, 25, and 75. Any page number will work. Then make sure each page has a full paragraph. If page 25 is an illustration, use a paragraph from page 26. Do so slowly and accurately. It's important that you include all three paragraphs, since this will give you a large enough sample so you can get a true idea of the reading level of the book. " After typing the three paragraphs you selected, you need to hit the spell check button in Microsoft Word. When you hit spell check, Word will check your spelling and then generate statistics on the passages you typed. Read through the list until you see "Readability." Under that, you'll see the Flesch-Kincaid grade level. If your Word does not display the Flesch-Kincaid Scale level, go to File, then go to Options, click on Proofing, and then click the box that says, "Show readability statistics." Now, whenever you use the spell check function, Word will display the grade level of whatever you have typed.
