Brenda, I'm glad to hear it, and wish that American Baby would update their info since so many see their publication.

Brenda,

I was surprised when it was noted that the information was from the NAIC because I frequent their website when I'm hunting down specific information. I do think American Baby needs to be notified of this fact, that they are pretty much putting out false and outdated information.

American Baby article

I realize this thread has been dead for a month or so, but I just found it today. Jenna, I don't know if you ever found the article or not, so I thought I'd post a link. FYI... it really is a HORRIBLE story.

RE: last post

Maybe not horrible. Considering the amom wanted a closed adoption, at least she's trying. But I was still offended.

Ugg indeed. Wanting to send back his birthday gift unopened? Begrudgingly sending out a twice a year package? I hope she has no plans to adopt again! Especially if she thinks that is an open adoption. I knew I shouldn't have read it.

Dr. Phil

Did anyone see the episode of Dr. Phil last month about adoption? What did you think? I just saw the last 20 minutes of it and was shocked by the stalking birthmother and the nasty aparents who adopted a little boy from India (I think). The aparents of the little boy said that they didn't love him and told this toddler that they wished they could send him back. How awful! I was happy to see Dr. Phil do what he does best and laid into the aparents about loving that little boy and it helped them, but had I been a pbirthparent that would've put the brakes on quickly for me.

I did see that episode and was furious at that family.. I liked what Dr. Phil told them.. but int he back of my mind what I really wanted him to do was let them know that if they could not find thier way to loving him , that they should place him for adoption with a family that WILL give him the love he needs.. I am sad to think about him growing up with a familuy that feels that way about him.
