We saw an article about this in the paper on the weekend - my husband actually said, "Hey, did you see the adoption article?" which was a big deal because he doesn't notice things like that, heh.

I'm glad to see the links to more in-depth information - what I saw of the report in the article all seemed very positive to me - moving toward making certain the decision to place is made deliberately & carefully & that women don't feel pressured by time constraints, etc. - and protecting the rights of birthparents after placement. Now I've got to read the links so I understand the recommendations more fully.
