I think adoptions should be suspended anytime there is a question of corruption, child trafficking, etc. I also think Russia should suspend adoptions in the wake of the Artyom Hansen case. <br /><br />I agree PAPs need to consider if they are able to care for post-institutionalized children. However, having said that, I'm not sure if you can ever really prepare for it any more than you can prepare for having a baby who may have special needs (or any baby really). You can educate yourself - hope for the best, prepare for the worst. But you don't really know what it will be like until you bring the child home. I think some PAPs are just in such a hurry to adopt and will say anything to get approved. Russia does require 2 visits - one to meet the child and one to go back and adopt. This gives the PAPs time to think about the decision and to get video of the child to have reviewed by a doctor - and yet we still have the case of Artyom and other Russian children.<br /><br />I don't know anything about adoption from Nepal but the minute there is something questionable, adoptions should be suspended - perhaps indefinitely.<br /><br />I think some people just think about the chldren living in an orphanage and aren't thinking about the reasons the child ended up there in the first place. (I have been guilty of this).Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14934033119198457032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210353425616744235.post-29673152039547904502010-04-29T04:21:19.563-07:002010-04-29T04:21:19.563-07:00Haha who knows Shannan.
