Arthur episode, featuring an adoption from China
We DVR "Arthur" for our foster son. He asked to watch it this afternoon, and I was happily surprised to see what the storyline was about. Binky became a big brother when his parents adopted a girl from China. The whole "point" of the show was about being a big brother, but it did include a bit about adoption and "scenes" in China.
Anyone else seen it? We are not pursuing an international adoption, so I really have no clue how accurately it was portrayed, but I was just thrilled that adoption was portrayed in a children's animated series!! ![]()

We happened to watch that one this week. I was cooking while it was on so I didn't watch it too closely, but it did give me a chance to talk to our son about being adopted.

I DVR'd it for DD back while we were waiting to travel for DS. I don't know how well it depicts the China process as I am not very familiar with China, but it was a good tool for us to use generally for her to prepare her for DS's adoption and to talk to her about her adoption.
