kyburgNo surprise, except I thought this had already happened years ago.
See, my agency didn't do them - and had not done them for some time, having closed their program. I asked - and the answer at that point was that they did not recommend it.
And in the five years since, I've seen story after heartbreak regarding Russian adoptees that you just don't hear about otherwise, even from adoptees from Romania (most of which I think died of AIDS, but that's off-the-cuff kibbitzing from me). Yes, you see RAD in adoption - dude, every adoption is 'special needs' - don't kid yourself. No matter where your child came from. Every adoptee is going to show attachment issues - they ALL begin with primal loss, and goes from there.
I feel like a broken record on this subject.
What I think will be *most* interesting is what this so-called 'adoption treaty' is going to contain. Second-most interesting is what charges will actually be brought against Hansen, et al, and who will have jurisdiction.
And the beat goes on.
