Despite sensational headlines about Haitian orphans, children adopted from
developing nations can thrive in the United States. I know, from personal
experience.
Earthquakes in Haiti and Chile have left thousands of children orphaned and
revived debates over the value of international adoption. In the weeks since
a group of American missionaries were arrested on charges of
child-trafficking, Haiti&#8217;s orphans [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[by Miriam Vieni L.C.S.W.
When we adopted our daughter in 1974, the field of international adoptions was on the verge of blossoming into an exciting range of opportunities for homeless children and would-be adoptive parents.  Up to that point, there were a very few large agencies (perhaps three or four) involved in facilitating the adoptions [...]]]></description>

Jenifer Bratter once wore a T-shirt in college that read &#8220;100 percent black woman.&#8221; Her African-American friends would not have it.
&#8220;I remember getting a lot of flak because of the fact I wasn&#8217;t 100 percent black,&#8221; said Ms. Bratter, 34, recalling her years at Penn State.
&#8220;I was very hurt by [...]]]></description>

Miriam Vieni, L.C.S.W.
Now that the U.S. is implementing the Hague Treaty on International Adoptions, adoptive parents are being required to take courses to prepare them for the adoption experience.  For many, this seems like one more burden added to an arduous adoption process.  Having been through the experience of international adoption myself, I [...]]]></description>

Race in America is forefront in the news. With Barack Obama, a man who is black and white and running for president, it is here with renewed vigor. His candidacy would be even more surprising if we weren’t a country so full of contradictions.
Interracial unions and the biracial offspring they produce have a [...]]]></description>

Do you want to rescue an abandoned child and give him a loving home?  	Don&#8217;t even try, says the U.S. State Department.

That&#8217;s not exactly what the bureaucrats said, but it&#8217;s close. The State Department says the Guatemalan adoption system &#8220;unduly enriches&#8221; so-called baby brokers and that &#8220;Guatemala has not established the required central authority [...]]]></description>

WASHINGTON — Eyes like black pearls, the softest skin and little tufts of hair made it totally easy to fall in love at first sight. And that is what Julie Carroll — and Jewel McRoberts and Tommi-Lynn Sawyer — did when they saw the three tiny girls at a Vietnamese orphanage. They adopted [...]]]></description>

Orphanages Stunt Mental Growth, a Study Finds
By BENEDICT CAREY
Psychologists have long believed that growing up in an institution like an orphanage stunts children’s mental development but have never had direct evidence to back it up.
Now they do, from an extraordinary years-long experiment in Romania that compared the effects of foster care with those [...]]]></description>

My dad had been serving his tour of duty in Vietnam when he’d decided to adopt. He and my mother had already had two boys and wanted a girl. In 1970, toward the last six months of his tour, he’d come across me in an orphanage and taken me home. 
At least, that’s what [...]]]></description>

At about 10 a.m. on June 19, 2003, in the western Chinese city of Wuwei, a man named Ma Guoxing was walking across town, intent on a pending business appointment.
But as he neared the Wei’an Health Center, he noticed a crowd of people at the front gate, and he interrupted his journey to go [...]]]></description>
