The little Russian boy............
Today's guest on my talk radio show spoke about the little Russian boy who was returned home. Her information was very compelling. She thought it was both sad and ironic that there is much more attention on the "rightness" or "wrongness" of what Torry Hansen did than on the condition of children adopted internationally from many orphanages. There is so much about post-adoption that needs to be addressed to adoptive families and at this time there just isn't enough information about it. This makes the transition so much more difficult for both the child and the adoptive families.
I think there is too much blame in our society and where I wouldn't have sent a child back ~ especially alone ~ I'm not going to label her into a category. I believe the thing to think about is how can this be avoided in the future??

Why is it that so few magazines write articles about adoption other than the adoption magazines?!?! Doesn't everyone know someone connected someway to adoption!?!?!
A 2000 census told us that 127,630 children were adopted in the USA in 2000 and 127,401 were adopted in 2001. 13% of the adopted children were foreigh-born. An amazing 2.5% of the U.S. population is estimated to be adopted children.
I don't know about you, but I want more articles and more talk about adoption. I'm doing something about it too ~ I am hosting a talk radio show on adoption on the internet that airs eveery Monday from 9-10 am EST. Don't have time to tune it? Listen to it the next day by going out to this link!

Twin who was mentally seperated from sister in adoption and child who witnessed the murder of his baby brother
On my most recent talk show, I had two guests on. One was a trans racial adopee who was 'mentally' separated from her twin sister. She became an author of children's books that helped her in healing her past.
My other guest was an adoptive mom to 7 children from the foster care system. One of the boys witnessed the murder of his little 22 month old brother and then watched as the uncle tried to cover it up by holding the little boy under water. The child who witnessed this was 5 years old at the time.
