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??
