There are some facts about adoption that, really, you cannot dispute unless you are just trying to purposely to stay ignorant regarding the facts of infant adoption in this country. Adoption is, in its perfect form, suppose to be about finding homes for children that need them, not about finding children for parents that want them.

It’s a Chair
I have to track down a picture of this chair for you because it really is hideous. It’s lime green. Seriously. Lime Green. Lime as in Jello lime. We call it the Pickel chair for obvious reasons and it is the most comfortable chair in the house. It was actually my grandmother’s chair although...
