Did someone say coffee?
Jan. 8th, 2008 01:00 pmUCC 'Holy Joe' Coffee For The Troops - color me amused.
I think it also fairly amusing that the Seventh Day Adventists would consider this Really Bad JuJu - but still Christian.
(I also buy Fair Trade coffee at the Cathedral Shop when I'm downtown and I can. I'm at home anywhere.)

Jan. 8th, 2008 03:36 pmYou find the darndest stuff on korean adoptee blogs, I tell ya.
( Ready for this one? They now have 'adoptee disruption ranches.' )
Some of the stuff just makes your blood boil.
The oldest of four, Sasha and his siblings were first adopted by a
Colorado family, an arrangement that quickly unraveled. Sasha moved
on to a second household, also in Colorado, while his two sisters and
a brother were split up and placed in several other states.
Soon after, Sasha tried to poison his new mother—slipping crushed
pills into her sandwich. Charged with felony assault, he was sent to
juvenile detention.
“My new mother told me that I should forget them [his siblings], but
I couldn’t,” the 23-year-old said recently, sitting in the ranch’s
cozy kitchen. “I went nuts.”
UHHHHH. I'd go nuts, too. Can you imagine? Never - not ever - in any of the training we've gotten, have we been advised to separate a child from any kind of family they had prior to coming to us. Foster, infant adoption - whatever. You never cut a kid off from any kind of attachment or bond they ever had in their lives.
And I totally agree. Who'd do such a thing. That's rhetorical.
When all efforts have failed, Sterkel starts a new placement process
with a call to A Child’s Waiting in Akron, Ohio—one of the few
adoption agencies that works with youths they did not originally
place.
Children are listed as green, yellow and red, based on the difficulty
of finding replacement families for each.
Their numbers have risen so dramatically that A Child’s Waiting plans
to build transitional housing specifically to accommodate that group,
said Crissy Kolarik, co-director. “The red kids have the most
significant issues, such as sexual predators,” she said.
How dare you. Like this is some kind of Lego system where you can 'replace' pieces that don't work anymore.
*fumes* Kid, I promise you right now. I'm going to do my level best not to be stupid when it comes to you - and that includes your birth family and anyone who cared for you before I showed up. Surely not to be as meanly stupid as this stuff is.
