Thanks for posting this Karen. We get Newsweek so I read a few weeks ago when it came to the house. I kept meaning to find it online and post it here, but I am a little scatterbrained lately.

This was all fore front when we adopted in 2004 and we were questioned by the judge about abuse of adopted kids in America.

What scares me still is that agencies do not take an active step to educate PAPs before they sign up. I am amazed by how many people still go into this with very little research upfront and the expectation that their new child will assimilate in time just as their own biological children would.
