An American Adoption Plan: Made in China

The other day I was reviewing some articles about gendercide in China, the practice of forced abortion, and child trafficking, and I was thinking how these types of events help create complex adoption issues many foreign born adoptees have to face, especially if one was adopted from a chauvinistic society like India or China. It seems there is a sad irony that exists when foreign social activists fighting for human rights come to America seeking support and assistance from American politicians.

Much to do about supply and demand in adoption

Much has been written in the last week about the case of Angelyn Lisseth Hernández Rodríguez (aka Dulce Maria or Karen Abigail) daughter of Loira Rodrígue, and much of the discussion revolves around the question, what is in the best interest of the girl involved.

Ethica puts it like this:

Adapting to Mother's Day, After Adoption

This sunny spring Sunday marks my 17th Mother's Day.
 
I had the pleasure/displeasure of experiencing more than 40 MD's in my life, thus far.  Almost all (but 15) had to be shared with "other women"...mothers who were not from my blood-line.
 
Mother's Day, in my mind, is very much like my own birthday.  I am forced to celebrate a life I don't really know.  I am forced to celebrate a role, a persona, a phantom wish/memory I never got to keep for more than a day or two.

GGGGggggrrrrr

I cant remember any other human being annoying me the way Gerry Mccann does. Now I know I shouldn't get personal but you know what I feel it's personal. A personal insult to my intelligence. Just where do they get off and what next.

A specialist in image age enhancement supplied a photo likeness of how Maddie would have changed over time. Not an easy task I'm sure.. That picture update must have been used on every Blog and news report about Maddie, except that is... the Mccanns sites. If I am right they have never give thanks or acknowledged the photo of their daughter.

Motivated or motivation

Ask yourself this. Could there be a more motivating factor than finding a missing child safe and well. In the hearts and minds of any decent human being, the child is all the motivation needed. Every now and again though something comes up that makes you ask questions.

Take the search for Maddie McCann. I know I have spoke on the McCanns before but they have created their own media monster for the inquisitive to explore.
