In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you are pregnant and do not want to raise the child, then you can contact an adoption agency. The agency will find a home for the child. Generally, you should contact adoption agencies before the baby is born, as many adoptive parents only want to adopt babies.  Adoptions are closely regulated by the state. Many states allow adoptive parents to pay for medical care or living expenses for the mother. But no state allows the adoptive parents to pay for the child itself. Buying and selling children is considered human trafficking. To find an adoption agency, you can search online or contact your state's licensing agency. Ask about any complaints lodged against the agency. Adoptions can be open, semi-open, or closed. These terms refer to the amount of contact the birth mother will have with the child, and the amount of information that will be shared between the adoptive parents and the birth mother.  In the “closed” adoption, the birth mother will have no contact with the adoptive parents and will not receive updates on the child's life. Some birth mothers choose a closed adoption because they find it easier to help them move on with their lives.  In the “open” adoption, the birth mother and the adoptive parents share information freely. The birth mother may even see the child occasionally and will receive photographs and cards from the adoptive parents. Open adoptions may be difficult for the birth mother because, although she will be in contact with the child, she will not have a say in how the child is raised.  The “semi-open” adoption is the most popular. In this situation, the birth mother receives updates from the adoptive family but receives them through the adoption agency. Today, about 90% of adoptions are semi-open adoptions. Regardless of the adoption type you choose, you can still be involved in selecting the adoptive parents. You do not have to choose a family, but most adoption agencies will include you in the process and send you information on prospective parents. You may also have an in-person or telephone meeting with the prospective parents. You can ask them any questions you choose, such as how they intend to raise the child, whether they have other children, and what kind of home they make for their children. The agency will likely have its own forms and contracts that comply with state law. Once you go into labor, you should contact your adoption specialist. You will probably have to sign a relinquishment form before you leave the hospital.
Summary: Contact an adoption agency. Decide on an adoption type. Choose a family. Complete forms.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Earthquakes can trap people in their homes for days at a time in the worst-case scenario, so you need everything for survival in the house. If you have a large house or family, more than 4-5 people, consider making extra kits and leaving them in different sections of the house. You should have a gallon of water for each family member, plus a few more for emergencies. Make sure you have a manual can opener to get into tinned emergency rations as well. You can purchase any non-perishable food you prefer, such as:  Canned foods, like fruits, vegetables, beans, and tuna. Processed crackers and salty snacks. Camping food. You should preferably have one for each individual in the house. Get a portable, battery-operated radio as well. There are some models that are solar or kinetically powered that may be worth an investment as you'll never have to worry about batteries. You should also purchase glow-sticks, matches, and candles as backup options. This is one of the most important objects in your emergency kit, and needs to be fully stocked with the following.  Bandages and Gauze Antibiotic ointments and alcohol wipes Pain-relievers Broad spectrum antibiotic pills Anti-diarrhea medication (essential to fight dehydration in an emergency) Scissors Gloves and dust masks Needle and thread Splinting material Compression wraps Up-to-date prescriptions Water purification tablets You may need to help rescue crews, or move fallen debris trapping you in the house. You should have:  Wrenches for gas lines Heavy duty hammer Work gloves Crowbar Fire extinguisher Rope ladder While everything above is essential to a good survival kit, the following materials should also be rounded up if time and money allow:  Pillows and blankets Closed-toe shoes Plastic bags Disposable cutlery, plates, and cups Emergency cash Toiletries Games, cards, toys, and writing materials  Scanner (It will be helpful to hear outside information on a scanner)
Summary: Prepare a disaster supply kit, and inform the entire household of its location. Purchase enough emergency food and water for at least three days. Buy a solar or manual crank flashlight and radio, or a normal flashlight with extra batteries. Create a First Aid kit. Put together a basic tool kit that can help get out of the house in an emergency. Store miscellaneous supplies to make an emergency stay more comfortable.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Flip the envelope open and slide your mail into the opening. Place the top edge of the document nearest the opening if possible. The most common type of clasp envelope has a butterfly clip with two metal arms. Unfold these so they stand straight up. You may need to pry them up using your fingernails. If your envelope has two circles and a string instead, just close the flap and wrap the string tightly around the other circle instead. If your envelope has a strip of paper along the edge of the flap, peel this off to reveal the adhesive. If your flap has a lick-able strip, wet this slightly to make it sticky. Lower the flap and adjust the metal arms so that they are positioned right beneath the hole. Push the hole over both arms. Seal the flap against the body of the envelope by running over the edge with your thumb. Push the clasp arms outward again and flatten them against the flap. To prevent the clasp from catching on other mail, put a piece of tape over the arms. Apply the appropriate postage in the upper right-hand corner of the envelope, and your envelope is ready to mail. The exact postage required depends on the size and weight of the envelope, as instructed by your local post office. If you can't find instructions, just take the envelope to the post office and pay for postage over-the-counter.
Summary:
Place your mail inside the envelope. Lift the clasp arms. Wet or peel the flap if necessary. Push the metal clasps through the hole in the flap. Flatten and secure the arms. Affix postage.
