Anyone Seen the AP Article?

D, Munchkin, JD, Josh, Nick and I were featured in an AP article this weekend. However, due to lack of time on the computer and sheer exhaustion, I haven't been able to come across the article. Someone emailed me and said that they saw it in their paper (as in paper newspaper, not online newspaper) but I haven't seen it online.

It's about adoption and the birthparent study released by the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute this week.

Found it off the AP site... Which is wierd, 'cause I checked last night when you posted and there was no sign of it.

More rights urged for birth mothers
CITIZEN-TIMES.com: HOME

Edit:
I just found it in my local paper too.

WOW oh WOW! The article is in the Washington Post!!!

Given the political tone in our country right now, I am surprised that an institution funded a study on the rights of those experiencing unplanned pregnancies. I wonder where the money came from? Does anyone think that the study will help prevent unethical adoption practices? Regulation of adoption agencies and facilitators, perhaps?

Thanks SchmennaLeigh.

Happy G'Ma

ETA: By the way Jenna - those pictures are gorgeous!!! I bet you have zero wall space left in your home with all those awesome pictures (still like the black and white one of Nick and munchkin the best, that was a powerful picture!)
