“I had my undergraduate degree in international business for just about seven years and I have always wanted to get my master’s degree. When I looked at other universities and selected Kaplan [University] for my master’s degree, Kaplan [University] gave you the most ‘bang for your buck.’ I met professors that were actually in the industries that they taught. This was not purely an academic setting. Everything that we do in international business is all about relating to other people and everything we do at Kaplan [University] is about how you relate to other people and how that relation allows you to do better.
I met people who were from China, who were from Japan, who were from the Middle East; I met a gentleman who was a program developer for Microsoft based in Shanghai. I had one of my classmates in Iraq at the time and we would collaborate on different projects while she was in Iraq and I was in the United States.
That’s the beauty of Kaplan [University]. We share and we learn from each other and then you can go back to work the next day and apply the same information that you learned in class. I work for the US Small Business Administration. Because I have my Master’s Degree from Kaplan [University] I actually was able to obtain the job that I have right now where I’m helping small businesses. Without my master’s degree from Kaplan [University] I would not have even been considered for the position so my degree is allowing me to touch people outside of me and allowing them to touch people outside of them so it’s almost like paying it forward.”

When beginning her journey at Kaplan University, Michell Sturgis was unsure how the demands of working full time and college course work would impact her life. Kaplan University’s flexible learning schedule and online degree programs allowed her to complete her assignments at her own pace while still being able to spend quality time with her daughter.

“When I decided to come back to school and pursue my bachelor’s degree I did have a fear of how I was going to fit the studies into my schedule. It had been quite a while since I graduated with my associate’s degree. I was already working full time when I started here at Kaplan [University], and I’m also a parent. I have a 7-year-old daughter and it was really helpful that they were really flexible and they offered classes during the day and the evening.
Kaplan [University] started offering online classes for my degree which really ended up being helpful to me because I didn’t have to be here on campus all of the time and I could get work done at night after I got my daughter to bed. I chose to study business management because I want to one day have my own business. Now that I have graduated from Kaplan [University], I am still working full time. I work as a case manager at a shelter for domestic violence. My business degree has contributed to my current job because I am able to move into different areas at my workplace and move more into the administrative side of things instead of the direct care and that was one of my goals.
Since graduating from Kaplan University my life has changed. For one, I am more confident when it comes to applying for jobs. It has also changed in my home life with my daughter; she is very proud of me—that her mom is successful and that is important to me.”

How to adopt a baby - Ebook
The laws and policies which regulate who are actually able to adopt a child will vary from state to state, as well as from agency to agency. But there are certain requirements that almost all adoption agencies will be looking at when they talk to those people who would like to adopt a baby.
What is important to know, however, is that, although the provisions required by laws in each state can not be either changed or ignored. But there are very few, if any, requirements or rules which are not inflexible.
However, if you do find yourself during the adoption process having problems with a particular rule or guideline, then it might be advisable if you can see if that particular one can be waived.
You may be surprised that there are certain exceptions where this can occur, if the circumstances are right, or the right people have asked for it to be waived.
Although you may think that you have the right to adopt, this is simply just not the case. No one in today’s society has the absolute right to adopt a child, and can only do so after they have met certain criteria that both the adoption agencies and the government place.
It is therefore important that any prospective people wishing to adopt a baby should carry out as much research as possible on the subject. Learn everything about the rules, regulations and guidelines that can be imposed upon prospective adoptive parents by the various adoption agencies.
In this book, we will be taking you through the basics of what is required in order for a couple or single person to become an adoptive parent.
