Did you know that many American kids are now being adopted by foreign parents? In years past I had often heard of children being adopted from poor countries or countries with an abundance of unwanted children... but I never pictured it being the US. The first time I heard a Dutch family adopted an American child I was speechless. Should I have really been so shocked? I guess I naively thought adopted American kids stayed in the US. When I saw an article on CNN online this morning it brought back those first memories and realizations, and it made me want to share the article with my readers:
I am flabbergasted. I thought that people have to wait for YEARS to get a child in the US, so that is why they end up doing a foreign adoption!
ReplyDeleteI think there is a lot we don't understand about adoption, and it doesn't hurt to get informed. :) Danica
