" I think you may be taking this a bit too far. It is obvious you have created a purely black & white issue, and go out of you way to belittle and mock the parents in question."

This child was not disabled. She had actually very common symtoms of many children adopted from China.

"It is not as if they left empty-handed...they are taking home a child from an orphanage which they will raise and provide for, for the rest of their lives...and have already spent thousands of $$$ and time to do so...in my book, they are doing good. "

Oh boy, I don't even know how to comment on this. We are not saving children when we adopt. That is not the attitude any adoptive parent should have. Saying that they didn't leave empty handed sounds like they left with the consolation prize. These are children we are taking about. They are human beings.

"I can't believe the things I'm reading here...."what if it was their bio child?" - well she isn't...."

The last thing I ever want my daughter to feel is that she is different than a child I would have had biologically.

""this will cause trauma on the older child who witnessed this" - no it wont, I'm sure they will tell her Hannah 1 was just too sick to come with us...."

There is a good chance that the older daugher will wonder if she gets very ill will she be sent back.


"They did not abandon her...she is not her bio or adopted child...they are not to welfare sys of China. Lets get real here."

This statement makes me very sad.

"Somehow you make it seem selfish and evil for parents to want a healthy child. Isn't that why China is as popular of a place to adopt from in the 1st place? "

Of course we all want healthy children. What parent wouldn't. Rarely do children come home from China completely healthy. Most children are delayed and many have minor problems that are resolved once they are home with a loving family. From what the blog stated this seems to be the case for Hannah. It is naive to believe differently and this is why soon to be parents need to better educate themselves.
