The lengths of waiting lists vary predictably with the ages and needs of the children. It is my impression that adopting a healthy baby is difficult, hence the prevalence of overseas adoptions and its risks covered in this <A HREF="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/03/national/03adopt.html?ex=1293944400&en=a0eca374978d810b&ei=5090&partner=weblogs&emc=rss" REL="nofollow">article</A>.Michael M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08814271222082824664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1142991967267766612006-03-21T19:46:00.000-06:002006-03-21T19:46:00.000-06:00Of course, the current love affair Americans have ...<I>Of course, the current love affair Americans have with infertility treatments doesn't help matters by solving a problem medically that used to be solved adoptively.</I><BR/><BR/>Amen. I'm always reticent to voice my feelings on infertility treatments, but I don't mean any harm to those going through them, but it always boggles my mind to see how much money, physical and emotional stress people will go through for the chance to be able to have a child of "their own."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1142985471994334502006-03-21T17:57:00.000-06:002006-03-21T17:57:00.000-06:00I'm with you.

Whatever happened to "Jesus loves you?" They've now amended it to be "Jesus loves you...as long as you're straight...and think like us." Fuck that shit. <BR/><BR/>A kid needs a parent or two who will love them and raise them right.

Maybe they are afraid they can't pass the child molester screening!<BR/><BR/>With my own eyes I have seen Catholics do extraordinary work, with great sacrifice, in Africa and the middle east. In fact, I have seen no other group or NGO do better. However, it appears the catholic leaders cannot live up to their own follower's standard of protecting and providing for the innocent and suffering.<BR/><BR/>I am a Christian, but not a Catholic. I am torn and bewildered. Unfortunately I am forced to love the catholic but condemn the church over this. Which for a Christian makes about as much sense as the Catholic church’s adoption policy. Please forgive my ineptitude. I must castrate myself now.<BR/><BR/>Special AnonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-1142974396474555502006-03-21T14:53:00.000-06:002006-03-21T14:53:00.000-06:00Oh a big ol' amen to that!There were so very many ...Oh a big ol' amen to that!<BR/><BR/>There were so very many reasons that I left that Church seven years ago.
