great pro-adoption article

Here is a great article that is pro-adoption instead of all those slanted negative ones.

If it doesn't go directly to the article, search for "Slamming the Door on Adoption"

Send her a THANK YOU!

I sent her a thank you email. On Guatadopt, there is a similiar thread with the author's email address at Harvard.
