There are people who believe that private adoption exploits poor women. I beg to differ. It’s the couples trying to adopt who are exploited left and right because they want a baby so bad they will give up the farm. Then there are the attorneys who make their living on this transaction. Honestly, last night we met a woman who was adopted out of the foster care system because her mother was a drug addict, she now works at an orphanage. She says the system is broke. Why should it be that two loving people who want to give a child a loving home have to jump through hoops, pay exorbitant sums of money, and risk not even getting a baby.
You tell me.
Golly, I’m just catching up here, but I sense something terribly wrong has happened. I’m feeling terrible for you already, but hoping I’m wrong. I’ll read on (backwards as it were!)…
A – who the heck knows what is going on. We are sensing that we are being scammed. We have been getting calls daily for more money for this and that crisis and meanwhile have come to learn this isn’t the first time they have scammed someone. We’re just in a state of utter shut down right now but refusing to give into anything but a zen state of mind about the whole nine yards!
