If you are 15 or older then you will be able to have a say about the adoption in court. Otherwise, talk to your mom or social worker (one should be appointed that you can speak to about this in private). However, unless you have a valid reason why you "hate" your stepdad then your complaints will just be seen as teenage angst.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
